That's easy! Everclear and Kool-Aid powder. Add a few orange slices for effect if you like. Oh, and it has to be made in a plastic ADI drum with the top cut off.

Is that what all those barrels in the hangers are for?

Yeah, don't mind the rust and TEL residue...

my wife is a professional bartender at 5 star restaurants / catered parties etc. i'll have her whip up a few for the ole taste buds!! after reading the latest issue of 'AIR CLASSICS" magazine on air race legend miro slovak's f8f bearcat which was named miss smirnoff i'd like to know the engredients for making a cocktail deemed the "SMIRNOFF BEARCAT"
