Want to see one of the drink recipes from a past show? We have you covered.

Our first movie is A Name for Evil, which you can watch on Plex and Fawesome.

Here’s the drink recipe.

A Drink for Evil: This is a radioactive, glowing-blue riff on a classic Sour, but we’re using fresh lime and a heavy dose of bitters to cut through the intense sweetness of the 99 Blue Raspberries schnapps. It looks completely unnatural, exactly like the saturated, strange lighting choices in early ’70s regional horror.

  • 1.5 oz. 99 Blue Raspberries
  • 75 oz. White Rum
  • 1 oz. lime juice
  • .5 oz. Blue Curaçao
  • 3 dashes Angostura Bitters
  1. Fill a rocks glass or a small jar with plenty of crushed ice. The colder this drink is, the better it tastes.
  2. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the 99 Blue Raspberries, white rum (or tequila), fresh lime juice and blue curaçao. Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds to completely blend the thick schnapps with the fresh citrus.
  3. Strain over crushed ice, then take your Angostura bitters and dash them directly onto the top of the ice. The dark brown bitters will mix with the blue liquid, turning the top layer a strange, bruised purple, mimicking the literal corruption taking over the manor in this movie.

The second movie is Drive-In Massacre, which is on YouTube.

Here is the second cocktail.

16mm Scratch: This uses ginger ale and a double-shot of sweet-and-sour shortcut ingredients to create a drink that looks just like a stained, faded celluloid print under an old yellow bulb.

  • 2 oz. Vodka
  • 4 oz. Ginger Ale
  • .5 oz. Blue Curaçao
  • .5 oz. Grenadine
  1. Pack a tall glass with as much ice as you can fit. Pour your rum or vodka straight over the ice, followed by the ginger ale. Give it a quick stir.
  2. Pour the blue curaçao and the grenadine directly into the top of the drink at the exact same time.
  3. Watch the neon blue and the blood-red hit the golden ginger ale. Instead of staying separated, they will swirl together into a murky, bruised, scratchy purple-gray hue, looking exactly like a degraded 16mm film print spinning through a dirty projector.

See you Saturday.
