The original formula:

Promethazine w/Codeine syrup
Any fruit flavored soda
A jolly rancher

Put it all in a styrofoam cup and enjoy. The codeine is mainly responsible for the euphoria felt after drinking sizzurp. Promethazine causes motor skill impairment, lethargy, and extreme drowsiness. If it doesn't have promethazine, it ain't real sizzurp.

DXM is not a component of sizzurp, although it may produce vaguely similar effects to the above recipe in doses ranging from 150 - 250 mg.

Sizzurp is the actual cough syrup ingredient used to create what is known as "Lean". It can be sold illegally or be attained with a prescription. To create Lean, a popular drink created in Houston Texas, you require the following for the original formula:

-Promethazine w/Codeine VC <- Sizzurp (active ingredient)
-Original Sprite Soda <- Mixing ingredient (although different flavors of sprite are now used, such as sprite remix)
-Jolly rancher candy <- Flavor additive

Put it all in a styrofoam cup and enjoy. The codeine is mainly responsible for the euphoric feeling after drinking lean. Promethazine causes motor skill impairment, lethargy, extreme drowsiness, as well as a disassociative feeling from all other parts of the body, specifically the stomach and digestive system. If it doesn't have promethazine w/ Codeine, it isn't real sizzurp.

Sizzurp is normally the color purple, although there are different colored sizzurps with different doses of codeine, that all produce the same effect but are NOT of the same strength and potency of the original purple colored sizzurp. Following these guidelines, the TRUE sizzurp is of the color purple.

The true sizzurp (when mixed with the ingredients listed), does not contain ANY form of alcohol, crushed pills, or other liquids in general.

DXM is not a component of sizzurp, although it may produce vaguely similar effects to the above recipe in doses ranging from 150 - 250 mg. DXM is also an upper, codeine is a downer. DX...

The first definition already listed is accurate as to the meaning and general composition:

-Promethazine
-Codeine syrup
-Any clear soda (often fruit flavored)
-One or more Jolly Ranchers for flavor

There are many variations and differing usage, but in order to be considered true and unadulterated sizzurp, the above ingredients are necessary.

The likely etymology is from the word "syrup", pronounced with a Southern accent like "surrup", or just "surp" when spoken loosely. Ebonified with "-izz" (like hizzouse to mean house), forms "sizzurp".

Basically the better version of alcohol, also known as purple drank (yes drank), lean' and texas tea. You get some sprite or mountain dew then you get some jolly ranchers crush em' up throw em' in your choice of clear soda then you need some cough syrup, none of that DXM bullshit unless your looking to get spacy and trippy but that's not what sizzurps about. The cough syrup has to contain codeine w/ promethazine like the original formula or tussinex which is liquid hydrocodone with an antihistamine and is better than codeine. Some formula's below:

Original:
Codeine w/ Promethazine cough syrup
Clear sprite soda
Jolly ranchers

Retarded dumb-ass formula:
Over the counter DXM syrup
vodka
red-bull

Modern and enhanced version:
Tussinex (liq. Hydrocodone suspension 12hour release)
Mountain dew/any sprite flavor
Jolly ranchers if so desired.

The rolls royce of sizzurp:
OxyFast (liq. Oxycodone suspension)
Mountain dew
Jolly ranchers
Benadryl/Promethazine

Just like good ol' momma's recipe's there exist diversity amonst formulations.

A drink that contains promethazine and codeine syrup, mixed with sprite and sometimes jolly ranchers. Causes a slow trip.

Promethazine Codiene Mix with
Smirnoff Ice

Jolly Ranchers or Shark Gummy Worms
