{{short description|Bubbly cocktail}}
A porchcrawler, also known as a porchclimb, is a mixed drink made primarily of beer, a liquor, and a sweetening agent (for instance, lemonade concentrate).{{Cite web | last = Jezer-Morton | first = Kathryn | title = Drink of the Week: Porch Crawler | work = AskMen.com | publisher = IGN Entertainment, Inc. | date = August 2008 | url = http://www.askmen.com/fine_living/drinks_300/375_drink-of-the-week-porch-crawler.html | accessdate = May 7, 2010}}{{Cite web | title = Porch Crawler Drink Recipe | work = Drink Secret | url = http://www.drinksecret.com/recipe/porch-crawler.html | accessdate = May 7, 2010}} The most common liquors for the drink are vodka, gin, rum or whiskey.{{Cite web | last = Endemann | first = Kirstin | title = The Drink: Porch Crawler | work = The Materialist (blog) | publisher = Ottawa Citizen | date = August 16, 2008 | url = http://communities.canada.com/ottawacitizen/blogs/materialist/archive/2008/08/16/the-drink-porch-crawler.aspx | accessdate = May 7, 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100909182249/http://communities.canada.com/ottawacitizen/blogs/materialist/archive/2008/08/16/the-drink-porch-crawler.aspx | archive-date = September 9, 2010 | url-status = dead }} The final product is generally a highly-alcoholic, carbonated punch with a fruity taste and a light pink or yellow color. It is typically served from a large cooler of ice and is especially popular with North American college students.
Variations
A variation, known as skip and go naked, is made with gin instead of vodka.{{Cite web|title=10 Summer Beer Cocktails That Don't Suck |publisher=COED Magazine |date=May 20, 2009 |url=http://coedmagazine.com/2009/05/20/10-summer-beer-cocktails-that-dont-suck/ |accessdate=May 7, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100128233008/http://coedmagazine.com/2009/05/20/10-summer-beer-cocktails-that-dont-suck/ |archivedate=January 28, 2010 }} When made with Pink Lemonade, it is termed the pink panty dropper.{{Cite web|title=Skip & Go Naked Punch (Aka the Pink Panty Dropper) Recipe - Food.com|url=https://www.food.com/recipe/skip-go-naked-punch-aka-the-pink-panty-dropper-474794|access-date=2021-06-21|website=www.food.com}}{{Cite web|title=Pink Panty Dropper Punch|url=https://tipsybartender.com/recipe/pink-panty-dropper-punch/|access-date=2021-06-21|website=Tipsy Bartender|date=10 November 2017 }}
