SHOW NOTES:

Special guests Joe and Rick, who you may remember from the Portalcast join us!  And Raoul and Andrew lurk in the background!

Drink of the Show: “TMNT”

Recipe:

  • 1/2 oz Blue Curaçao
  • Orange Juice
  • Vodka nip
  • Skittles

Put a skittle or two of the same color into each vodka nip. Ideally, make one for each turtle, and maybe some for April, Splinter and The Shredder.  Allow it to dissolve overnight.  

The next day: Fill a highball glass most of the way up with OJ, then add the Curaçao.  It should turn a bright green.  Assemble your friends, marvel at the whole thing, take a vodka nip and pour it in and drink!
