Make These Fancy Craft Cocktails Using Ecto Cooler! Anyone have any tips on how to refill and reseal a juice box? Uh, asking for a friend.
I just picked up some nostalgia juice last night with the intent of making cocktails, as I figured that was the adult way to use it.

Corpse Reviver, a drink I'd never heard of until last week, is suddenly everywhere in my life. I feel like I'm making the right choices finally.

Huh. This demonstrates another use for those surplus googly eyes that people keep asking about.

There is nothing in the world that tastes worse than Ecto Cooler after brushing your teeth.

Point of anecdata re: the new movie. It isn't even out yet, and all the toys at Target went on clearance over a month ago.

Is anyone else still having trouble finding Ecto Cooler?

I mean, this might be overly snobby for someone who drank something called a "Unicorn Jizz" the other day, but most of these recipes seem like they would be better off with the ecto juice omitted or maybe some sour mix substituted or something. Some of them seem like a bit of waste of good ingredients, TBH.

Sidebar: I'm curious about unicorn jizz but not going to Google it at work, so if someone could drop that info in thread, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate it.

"Unicorn Jizz"
aka a "horn slimer," surely?

It tasted like shoving a packet of lifesavers in your mouth then taking a shot of vodka. Disappointly it was mostly mango juice coloured rather than silvery, white or a full rainbow.

according to this: Three Olives Mango Vodka, triple sec, OJ, sweet ‘n’ sour, grenadine, and Sprite. (sfw pic of beverage). upon googling for pics of 'unicorn jizz cocktail recipe' (you're welcome) i think this drink called "russian unicorn" is more impressive looking, unicorn-wise.
i also saw a picture of a unicorn orgasming a rainbow which i will not link.

The regular Corpse Reviver No 2 is kind of a favorite of mine, BTW, and fun to mix too.

Or you can make your own, courtesy of the folks at Food and Wine.
Rather disappointed that the drinks don't have thickeners in them. Kool-aid slime is pretty easy to make.
And slime-based drinks would keep you regular to boot.

Do they still make Sunny Delight? That and green dye seem like they'd make an adequate replacement.

Whatever the process is, nine-year-old me can assure you it does not involve putting the juice box in a microwave. That is a bad idea.

Basically when I get home tonight I will be reflexively mixing the most conservative Manhattan or Martini possible as a reaction to this.

I feel like most of these didn't even need the Ecto Cooler. And that probably makes them better drinks, but it's also like ... if you're going to make cocktails from Ecto Cooler, commit to it and make it the star ingredient.
Now, granted that sounds like a good way to be throwing up neon puke at the end of the night, but still.

It's the opposite of those recipes printed on the backs of supermarket items, where they specify that you'll need LIKE SEVEN boxes of Ritz crackers to make that Mock Apple Pie or whatever. I get the sense that maybe they just asked the respective cocktail-engineers for their best recipes and then added a line for Ecto Cooler.

Hey, this is weird. I was just reading the menus of Milwaukee craft-cocktail joints to decide where I wanted to drink tonight. I noticed a cocktail at a place called Vanguard that was inspired by Ecto Cooler. I see that the linked article is also about Milwaukee. So is this some new Milwaukee trend that I'm just learning about?
Anyway, here's the drink description from Vanguard Bar:
HECTOR COOLER
Lunazul Blanco Tequila/ Dry White Wine / Green Chartreuse / Citrus / Simple Syrup
Strength, class, and tradition are the characteristics that unite the Hector Cooler. Named after Hector Del Coolio, world renown Luchador, this cocktail embodies the grandeur of his personality which has taken him around the world as a vibrant symbol of the professional Lucha Libre sport. Over the years, he has defeated numerous opponents and won national and worldwide championships. After hearing the tales of Hector Del Coolio, people ask us, “Is any of this true? Isn’t this named after HI-C’s Ecto Cooler?” BUSTED!! But… BUSTIN’ MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!!!
