I love dirty girl scouts. They taste like thin mint girl scout cookies (my favorite).
1 oz each: vodka, Kahlua, Baileys, and creme de menthe. You can use white or green -- they will turn the drink different colors. Pour into shaker with ice, shake well (cloudy drinks really need to be shaken hard) strain and serve for consumption immediately. They are deceptively sweet and good!

And then once you have vodka and kahlua you just mix those together and a splash of half and half and you've got white russians! Without the half and half, it's called a black russian.

My preferred drink is a white russian. Normally in the springtime or summer I prefer to put the ice, Kahlua, and Vodka together into a blender and blend it like a tropical drink. Sometimes foir a change of pace I add Irish crea, like Carolan's or Emmits' to the other ingredients and blend it, it makes it deliciously creamy!
