Drink with a history

Spies during WWII used this drink to find each other. They went to a bar called Brass Monkey and ordered the drink. While they drank it they marked off the letters in Brass Monkey on the coaster and the remaining letters spelled out the name of the allied spy they needed to contact while in town.

A Brass Monkey is where you drink a 40 down to the label, and then fill it up with OJ.

I totally agree with Bizzy, a brass monkey is made with a forty and you drink the cone then fill it back up with OJ. It tastes like grapefruit.

BRASS MONKEY 4 LIFE were taking it back!!!!!!

Needs to be spiced up a bit

I followed the listed recipe, but it tasted like straight OJ. So I doubled the alcohol and it tastes more like a real drink.

Beastie boys version says sunny d, thats for the forty. But yes the recipe above is the REAL brass monkey. there is no such thing as putting OJ in a forty, as dave chapelle would say "what the F is juice?".
