Recipe: The Beastie Boys’ Brass Monkey
It doesn’t take much to get the Beastie Boys going, but a Brass Monkey certainly helps. One of the simplest drinks you can produce, the Brass Monkey involves little more than drinking your 40 oz., mixing the rest with orange juice, and finishing. No sweat.
1 part malt liquor
1 part orange juice
The Beastie Boys: “I put it with the monkey, mixed it in a cup/ Went over to the girl, “yo baby whats up?”/ I offered her a sip…”

Recipe: Mobb Deep’s Dainey & Champale
Queensbridge’s Prodigy, of Mobb Deep fame, alchemizes hard-to-find malt liquors and complex Queensbridge slang in this brown-baggable mixed drink. Grab a bottle of Piña Colada Champale (if you can find it) and mix it up with St. Ides malt liquor (referred to as ‘Dainey’ in hyper-local Queensbridge slang). Then you’re ready to mobb. Take it down to Coney Island.
1 part Dainey (St. Ides)
1 part Piña Colada Champale
Prodigy: “Piña Colada Champales mixed with Dainey.”

Recipe: Souls of Mischief’s Black on Black Crime
Tajai from the mighty Souls of Mischief crew doesn’t play around when he mixes up dranks – they need to pack a socially-conscious punch. This mixture of Jäger and Guinness combines two European-produced liquors with American-bred hip-hoppers.
1 bottle Guinness
1 part Jägermeister
Tajai: “Guinness and Jäger call it black on black crime.”

Recipe: Kanye West’s Malibooyah
Kanye’s recipe for the Malibooyah comes straight of the supreme posse cut ‘Monster.’ The above photo is certainly not a Malibooyah. Before stirring together a round of these, remember Kanye’s infamous mic-grab and ensuing public humiliation. Probably wise to moderate.
1 part Grey Goose
1 part Malibu
Kanye West: “Mix that Goose and Malibu/ I call it Malibooyah!”

Recipe: E-40’s Hurricane Ethel
E-40, of Bay Area and 40 Water fame, is explicit when it comes to both his lyrics and cocktail recipes. Here’s his twist on the classic Hurricane drink.
1 part dark 151 rum
1 part light rum
1 part triple sec
1 part pineapple juice
1 splash grenadine
E-40 in a 2011 interview with Complex: “I was like, ‘This shit jammin! This shit good as a motherfucker, AND it got me right. What’d you put in this?’ She said, ‘Grenadine, pineapple juice, 151 Bacardi, Bacardi Light, and then triple sec.’ You can use Malibu rum, put all that shit in there, and you can use the green grenadine or the red grenadine. We prefer the red, that’s what she used. And ever since then, we was drinking hurricanes.”

Recipe: The Diddy
It was inevitable that Diddy, the famous Cîroc Vodka frontman, mix up his own personal Cîroc recipe. Naming it after himself…not so inevitable. Here it is, in all eponymous glory:
1 part Cîroc vodka
1 part lemonade
1 lemon wheel garnish

Recipe: Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire’s P.O.P.Coming straight out of Brooklyn, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire brings you a hood remedy for boredom. Straightfoward but promising, the recipe for P.O.P. leaves room for some creative twists. An extra shot of pear juice? Carbonated water? A couple Sacagawea pieces for that real American swag?
1/2 gallon of vodka
Cranberry juice to taste
Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire: “Half a gallon of Georgi Porgie/And cranberry: that’s the P.O.P./Love passion, a recipe for terror/We mix them shits together, and then we have an orgy.”

Recipe: Tech N9ne’s Caribou Lou
If you’re ready to get down and dirty, mix up a pitcher of Caribou Lou. Featuring high-proof alcohol and ill amounts of heavily sweetened juices, Caribou Lou won’t remind you of either caribou or your weird uncle Lou. To be perfectly honest, a couple of these and it won’t remind you of anything – you’ll be drunk.
1/2 bottle 151-proof rum
1 cup coconut rum
Remainder pineapple juice
Tech N9ne: “Half a bottle of 151/Off of the jug one cup of Malibu rum/Baby that’s what’s up/Then you fill the rest of the jug/With pineapple juice, and it’s crackin’/The only defect is waking up like: ‘what happened?'”
