…not the kind you do, the kind you drink.

Even though I’m all grown up now, I’ll never forget my gothic roots.  Goth is a phase a great many freethinkers pass through on their way to becoming mature meat eating heathens, and it often starts with cute little ways of acting out like mixing all available soft drinks together into something we called a “suicide”.  Indeed it did look like something no one in their right mind should swallow, but it was usually actually kind of tasty.

Many, many…many years have passed since the last time I went haywire at a soda fountain, but occasionally I still ask the lady at the juice bar for the nourishing version of this drink, or make it myself at home.  Now I will share the recipe for this magical elixer that belies its morbid name.  It’s based on the real flavors that the sodas imitate.

Ingredients:

• juice of 3 tangerines or clementines
• juice of one lime
• 3 soaked prunes
• a handfull of cherries (pits removed)
• a handfull of purple or concord grapes (seeds removed)
• 1/2 teaspoon kola nut powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dry ginger
• 1 tablespoon of honey

Instructions:

Just whizz it all together in a blender or with a hand blender.  You can freeze the grapes and add ice to it if you prefer it slushy.

Welcome to the nutritious underworld!  Muuhuhuhuhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (That’s evil laughter. XD)
