what exactly is brass monkey?

Question

beasite boys have a song called brass monkey, but what the hell is it!! is it a drink? help, sooo lost

Answer 1

An entirely different cocktail, often attributed to the Beastie Boys' song of the same name, consists of three parts malt liquor and one part Sunny Delight. Typically Olde English 800 or St. Ides is used, and always in the forty-ounce bottle. The first quarter to third of the bottle is consumed, and then topped off with Sunny D, capped, mixed, and drunk.

Answer 3

Yes its a drink. I bought it pre-mixed--a bunch of friends had to throw a brass monkey party, so we brought a case to the place and went right through it, just like the song. Tastes a little like a screwdriver, but funkier.

If you don't know what Spanish Fly is either, I'll bring some over!
