Last time out I went over some of the more unusual crock pot recipes that I have seen out there; and since I didn't receive any real comment hate I thought that I would take a look at some more unusual slow cooker recipes out there. This time around i thought I would go over the more unusual drink recipes I have come across in my searches. These are both mixed drink recipes and punch recipes, and to be honest I would have never thought of doing something like this myself if I hadn't stumbled upon it first. Down the road I might take a look at the more unusual Crock Pot Slow Cookers that are out there, such as the Crock Pot Trio Cook and Serve.
