This entry is not a reference to “that other” creeper. You know the guy who used to teach at Meharry and would come along and tear up your cadaver’s recurrent laryngeal nerve and then have Dr. Jackson yelling at you? I mean you should beware him too, especially if you are at the liquorfest and they bring in swing dancers and he’s one of them, but this entry isn’t about that.

No, this is about the drink….

Never heard of the creeper? Neither had I until the homie Geoff who LONG before he was up for medical doctorial candidacy was a doctor of all things alcohol, put me up on it. Actually Geoff didn’t make it up as much as he passed it along from the homie D. Story.

The creeper consists of Hennessy and cranberry juice….and that’s it. It actually tastes better with MORE Hennessy than cranberry and the cranberry masks the alcohol SO well. You drink a few, and before you know it, you are drunk. Hence the moniker, the Creeper.

The homie Dave created a cousin to the creeper called the Sneaker. This one ALSO sneaks up on you (see the naming is so easy!). This time it’s made with Southern Comfort and Sprite. For those of you who have to take the occassional early morning flight and need a drink to build your nerve, or you just need that eye opener, the Sneaker is officially approved as a morning drink, more so than the Creeper.

One should be warned that the creeper will cause more than the normal alcoholic impairment. You may talk all the way through a classic movie like “From Dusk Til Dawn” or even try to fight a nigga *looks @ young Tasha*. You may also drop your cellular phone in it, not a good look. And well, the creeper has other approved uses….you all are smart….you know where I’m going.

So anyway, incorporate the Creeper into your group of drinks. Hennessy IS the official drink of the black race after all!
