• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 1 oz. lime juice
• .25 oz. grenadine

1. Do you ever wonder about all the different ways of dying? You know, violently? And wonder, like, what would be the most horrible way to die?
2. Mix all of this in a shaker with ice, then pour it into a big glass. Lose your brains.

1. Fill a glass with ice, then pour in this order: vodka, rum, schnapps then the juices. Then, pour your juices, then add cherries. Finally, pour the grenadine down the side of the glass, so that you get the “sunset” effect.
2. Then, sit in the sun and wait. And sleep. And dream. Each of us dying slowly in the prison of our minds.
