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

Our first movie is Impulse, which you can watch on Tubi.

Here’s the cocktail for the first movie!

The Tampa Car Wash: Grindhouse directors loved shooting in Florida back then because the cheap tax breaks and blazing sun created a amazing contrast with sleazy, dark subject matter. To honor that garish, sun-drenched coastal look, you need a drink that looks like a swimming pool but punches like a con man. Let’s pour a Blue Lagoon—but we are changing the name to The Tampa Car Wash in honor of the movie’s infamous, bizarre automotive execution scene.

  • 1.5 oz. orange flavored vodka
  • .5 oz. blue curaçao
  • .75 oz. lemon juice
  • 4 oz. club soda
  1. Fill a tall highball or Collins glass to the brim with crushed or cubed ice. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, blue curaçao and fresh lemon juice. Shake hard for 10 seconds until ice-cold.
  2. Strain the electric blue mixture over the fresh ice into your glass. Top it off with club soda and watch the bubbles swirl.

The second movie is Black Roses, which is on Tubi.

The Stage Diver: To truly pay homage to the sleazy, loud, smoky energy of thios movie, we need to pull the Jägermeister right to the front of the stage. Jäger has cemented its status as the official liquid fuel of the American heavy metal scene, thanks to aggressive marketing targeting rock clubs and metal bands. This is a heavy, carbonated drink that flips the classic Jäger Bomb into a legitimate, dark, aromatic highball. It pairs the herbal bitterness of Jäger with the dark, spicy bite of cola and a sharp hit of fresh citrus to keep it loud.

  • 2 oz. Jägermeister
  • .5 oz. lime juice
  • 5 oz. cola
  • 2 dashes, Angostura bitters
  1. Take a heavy pint glass or a tall Collins glass and pack it completely with large, solid ice cubes. Pour the Jägermeister and fresh lime juice directly over the ice.
  2. Add 2 heavy dashes of Angostura bitters right onto the liquor. Slowly top the glass off with the dark cola. Let it fizz up violently to create a thick, tan, aromatic head at the top of the glass. Give it one quick, gentle stir from the bottom just to integrate the lime.

Can’t wait for Saturday!

A NAME FOR EVIL! DRIVE-IN MASSACRE! DIA DF!

This Saturday, we’re joined by Paul Werkmeister from the A Name for Evil podcast. Watch the show on the Groovy Doom Facebook and YouTube channels at 8 PM EDT.

Want to know what we’ve shown before? Check out this list.

Have a request? Make it here.

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.
