A long day at work might call for an extension on happy hour, perfect for choosing a particularly large and extraordinary drink. Kick your usual orders to the side tonight, and feast on these larger-than-life beverages. Call a friend.

Birthday Bowl at Trolley’s, $15

Description: This is an extreme martini, made specifically for a group of drinkers. Cherry and tropical flavors, along with multiple liqueurs, are shaken, stirred, and give Carrie Bradshaw’s Cosmos a run for their money.
Intoxication level: 7 out of 10
Time it takes two people to drink it (normal drinking, not slamming): 30 minutes
107 Park Central Square, 417-799-0309

The Hurricane at Mr. Yen’s, $8.95 (serves two)

Description: A concoction of Tahitian rum and fruit nectars are poured together, and they taste mighty scrumptious. And although it may seem like a swell idea when your sugar buzz is raging, we suggest that you do not consume the flaming shot in the center.
Intoxication level: 5
Time it takes two people to drink it: 45 minutes to an hour
4117 S. National Ave., 417-881-1061

Boogie Bowl at The Boogie, $15

Description: Your intoxication level hits its limit—along with your sweet-tooth craving—while consuming a Boogie Bowl. Be sure to bring a crowd, otherwise this monster will send you into a sugar-induced coma long before the substantial amount of alcohol kicks in.
Intoxication level: 9
Time it takes two people to drink it: More like a crowd. Depending on the number of people, it could take 15 minutes or all night.
321 South Ave., 417-831-0100

Large drink at Tropical Liqueurs, $7.75

Description: A rush of intoxicating Brain Freeze, slurped through Trop’s trademark red straw, will leave you wanting more on a hot day. But when you’re just chilling, the large size is perfect for splitting with a homey. For those who can’t choose just one flavor, try mixing and matching.
Intoxication level: 7
Time it takes two people to drink it: 20 minutes
420 S. Campbell Ave. #100, 417-832-9067
