I'm really pissed at NASA.... I'm also really drunk.

This is one for the Ages. Our new signature SMRL drink. We beta tested this several weeks ago at the Goat Brothers B-Day Party. Oh my!
The people couldn't get enough... and no one remained sober. Only the high experience level of the crowd prevented a large scale riot as El Snatcher and Special Ed mixed batch after batch. It was a resounding success. But in spite of the rave reviews, the core SRML team knew they could do better. After all, we always strive for perfection when it comes to the science of Beverotology.
So we took the recipe back to the labs after the field test to see if we could improve it. And thanks to combined triple digit years of Beverotology experience from the crack Alpha Team, Spock Mountain Research Labs achieved a breakthrough of EPIC proportions. One that can be compared with Newton's discovery of gravity and Einstein's General Relativity... We were so taken aback by the findings that we celebrated for damn near a week.
And let me tell you... after a week of celebrations, the lab was a mess. I'm not sure how many extra banknotes Mr. Bad had to pay the janitorial staff to hose the place out, bury the bodies and then sandblast everything, but whatever the cost... we consider that the price of science.
So... (drum roll please)... Spock Mountain Research Labs is PROUD to announce the first breakthrough beverage of the new Millennium... we calls it the Spockmopolitan. We know you will call it divine.
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. Top Shelf vodka (Please don't use the cheap stuff)
- 3 oz Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice
- 1 oz Cointreau
- Lime
- Blue food coloring
- Crushed ice
First, chill two martini glasses by filling them with ice and water. Then in a large shaker - fill it a third to a half full with ice. Add the vodka, cranberry juice and Cointreau. Squeeze in the juice of a whole lime. Add blue food coloring to achieve proper color. Shake vigorously. Empty ice water from the glasses and strain the mixture into the glasses. Garnish with lime.
Makes two servings.
Enjoy. We did, do and will, again and again.
