PPC Recipe
« on: 15 May 2013, 04:45:22 »
I seem to vaguely (vaguely, 10x vaguely) recall there being a printed recepie for the PPC cocktail, along with different versions for each state. Does anyone know where I could find it?

Thanks in advance

Are you sure on that PPC recipe ?
I seem to recall it being a 2+2 Ratio for the House Variants, not 4+1

Ah yes, that is it, I knew it was Solaris but forgot about Xiang's time there,  the only thing I could think of was when Rose was there.  It seemed like it was an older reference than that but then again, I've not read a BT novel in over a decade so I figured anything is possible.

fan creation. the basic recipe apparently lends itself to lots of variation by fans.

Quote
I seem to recall it being a 2+2 Ratio for the House Variants, not 4+1
nope. 4 shots of flavorless alcohol (said to be grain alcohol), with one shot of a flavoring type;
peppermint schnapps (steiner)
sake (kurita) (or aviation fuel, it's joked.. given that later books have the combine use ethanol based fuels..  ::) )
ouzo (marik)
plum wine (liao)
bourbon (davion)
tequila (capellan march)

i suspect there are fan versions of the recipe out there with variations for all the minor factions too.

lots of fans double up the amount of the flavoring type.. the book doesn't say the exact proportions but implies just one shot of the stuff. (see pg.111 in Warrior: En Garde)

I've done the Davion PPC and the Steiner PPC ... they are absolutely 4:1.
and that's plenty to put me on my -er- FACE real quick.
that's EACH nearly 8 fluid ounces of liquor, people.

I've heard some folks substituting Moonshine for Everclear...

VhenRA has the right of it, its 2 shots of flavour, not 1.

I was recalling it purely from memory as 4 shots of everclear as the base 4 shot drink known as the PPC.
What I was mis-remembering is the term "cuts it with",  I was thinking that meant "REPLACE" 2 with 2, keeping it 4 shots.
But, Apparently it means "ADD" 2 to the 4, making it a 6 shot drink.

MW3 also says the Basic 4 shot PPC is also known as the "Periphery-PPC".

Right, because clearly anything that's only 2/3rds Everclear is in danger of being too weak a drink  if the other 1/3rd is sake.

I am a cocktail geek (among other geekings, which should be a word if it isn't,) and we had a couple of House Cocktails games.  The PPC is designed as a drink to get you into another plane of existence as quickly as possible, and not really advantageous to a game session.  Also, this is a college frat-guy drink, and not really meant for human consumption.  So we all brought our own concoctions, usually variations (or just renaming) of classic, but appropriate, cocktails.  I provided Davion 75's, where the original was in honor of the Canon de 75 field guns of WWI.  2 oz Gin (I use Aviation, which is an American gin, but it works great with Sapphire as well,) 1/2 oz rich simple sugar, the fresh juice of half a lemon, all stirred in a Collins glass and topped with cold dry champagne.

I will post some other House drinks later.  Gotta go by a fish for my daughter.

As we´re actually talking about enjoyable stuff there, not the means to drink yourself in a coma, here´s a version of "Stealthy Capellan".
You need (per glas):
2 tsp Grenadine. Frensh is best. If not availlable, use cherry sirup.
1 Lime - 1tsp lime juice, 1 full slice.
Champaigne, or, if not availlable, Prosecco. Dry or Extra Dry.
1/2 oz of peach brandy
Canned Lychee, 2 full lychees, 1,5 oz of joice
Ice.

Put ice cubes, grenadine, lime juice, lychee juice and peach brandy into a bar shaker, mix well, use wire sieve to drain into champaign flute. Fill up with champaign, stick lime slice and two lychees on a cocktail stick and garnish the drink.
Now, discuss how to further invade the funs and enjoy.

Not to be a jerk, but was that "Fresh" or "French?"  Because I know that Grenadine is originally French, but I also make my own, thus "fresh" works too...

Well, I actually meant "french", since you can still get grenadine made from pomgranate, not substitution stuff based on blackcurrant juice.
If you make grenadine on your own, even better. I like using organic fruits, being able to chose how much sugar to use and there´s really no need for additives like antioxygens.
I like having a small bottle or two around for the occasion to make a lighter kir royal.

Have you tried natural fermentation or distiling that? Sounds great as basis for a liquor.

Holy crap you guys.

I'm in culinary school and this quarter I have a final project that requires me to come up with two simple cocktails for each main type of spirit (Rum, Whiskey/Whisky/Bourbon, Tequila, Vodka and Gin).

DONE. :D

Also, I found this page:

http://users.anet.com/~cplkagan/information/drinks.html

 but it doesn't list some of the other cocktails I've seen in this thread...where can I find the recipes/ratios for those?

I believe the ER PPC is mentioned somewhere in MW3rd RPG core book-  it doubles the grain alcohol. Which is just...insane.

I seem to remember a few on here saying they've made the drinks with vodka instead of grain alcohol as a more reality friendly type drink.  E.g, 4 shots of vodka and a shot of ouzo.  Same drink, half the alcohol.

Or, just serve it in a longer glass... :P

Not meaning to threadjack, but do any of you know of any other earth-producable foods or drinks in Battletech? I don't drink (I just turned 21 a few months ago, anyway), but I'm curious to see if there are any other things which are out there to try.

I thought it was 4 shots Everclear, 2 shots Fireball, and start a fight with whoever's standing next to you.

Holy crap you guys.

I'm in culinary school and this quarter I have a final project that requires me to come up with two simple cocktails for each main type of spirit (Rum, Whiskey/Whisky/Bourbon, Tequila, Vodka and Gin).

DONE. :D

Also, I found this page:

http://users.anet.com/~cplkagan/information/drinks.html

 but it doesn't list some of the other cocktails I've seen in this thread...where can I find the recipes/ratios for those?

What did you end up doing for class?

Apologies for a halfway necropost, but a random video upon the net brought memories up of the drink in question and where I had read the recipe in the books.

So technically the true recipe for a PPC comes from the book En Garde when Gray Noton is explaining them to a person known as The Contessa just before Justin Allard's first match on Solaris. In short it is 4+2 per the book's description of the drink.

As MechWarrior 3rd states, drinking the grain alcohol straight is sometimes called a Periphery PPC. . . or just plain stupid.

Aaaaahhhh, thank you. Brings back some memories.... or maybe hallucinations.

IIRC, the trick to the 'canon' PPC was to have the everclear as cold as you can possibly get it ( anyone remember CO2 fire extinguishers?  :D ) so as to minimize the burn. Until it went down, that is. Make yer eyes glow blue when it lights up.....

I tried to make a Star Adder shot by floating that Hyponitk stuff (my wife bought it) over dark rum.  It actually worked, well it was Star Adder colors, but it was awful.

I figured I was better off to just drink bourbon

I'm going to go ahead and say probably vodka or a gin would be better.  The last time I drank that much grain alcohol I woke up at the aftermath of a house party in panama city, and was supposed to be at fort benning. 

which by the way 4 shots of gin, with bourbon, over ice is not to bad.

That sounds like a really good description of what a PPC apparently does, actually.

Add some strong ginger beer, lime juice and a couple shots of bitters and you have a large version of the cocktail "Suffering Bastard."  (Originally Suffering Bar Steward, but you can see how it evolved...)

Unsurprising, I just raised the proportion of ingredients in the PPC by half since Gauss Rifle is half-again as damaging as a regular PPC, didn't really give any though to the real-life consequences.
