Memorial Day parties aren't complete without a patriotic blackout -- and the best way to ensure your guests receive one is a garbage can full of alcohol. All you need are a clean can, lots of ice, and plenty of expendable brain cells. Here are a few recipes guaranteed to make your summer coronation event gloriously trashy:

If you plan on having females at your party...
Peach Pickle Sangria
- 3 boxes white Franzia (6L each)
- 1 handle vodka
- 3 bottles "red" flavored bum wine (berry or passion fruit)
- 3 2L bottles of seltzer
- 3 huge cans of peaches in heavy syrup

If you plan on seeing the females naked during the party...
Pink Panty Droppers
- 1 handle vodka (1.75L)
- 1 handle gin
- 1 handle rum
- 10 malt liquor 40s
- 6 2L bottles of pink lemonade

If you want guests to have no memory of the party...
Crack Juice
- 3 handles vodka
- 18 40s
- 12 cans of frozen limeade concentrate

If you want guests to start fighting with imaginary sea serpents...
Tazmanian Punch
- 1 bottle Everclear (750ml)
- 4 handles vodka
- 6 2L bottles of Sunny Delight
- 2 gal rainbow sherbert
- 3 cans frozen orange juice concentrate
- 3 cans frozen fruit punch concentrate

Note: you may think you're above drinking booze out of garbage cans, but you're not.
