Blue Ghost - Cocktail

Blue Ghost

The Blue Ghost is a cocktail I put together to celebrate the launch of Blue Ghost Mission 1.

It is a variation on a Moonlight which is already a variation on an Aviation. Doesn't get much more thematically appropriate than that!

The easiest way to create a blue-colored drink is to use Blue Curacao, but WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN BLUE CURACAO IN MY KITCHEN. We've evolved beyond. Instead we'll use Cointreau for our citrus notes.

Our liquid bipropellant consists of a London Dry Gin for the fuel and a floral Creme de Violette Liqueur for the oxidizer. The violette liqueur also provides the drink its ghastly blue-ish purple color, perfect for a blue ghost.

I toyed with adding blue food coloring to the mixture to make the drink's resemblance to its namesake even more striking, but it makes the cocktail appear sweet. Like Powerade. This is a very boozy cocktail, so the disconnect between what your eyes see and what your nose and mouth experience is jarring. All the more reason to not use Blue Curacao.

The added citrus from the lime juice & lemon juice elevate the floral liqueur and soften the strong taste of the gin. The orange zest is our engine plume!

I threw in a little ginger ale to neutralize the heavy citrus flavors and add some bubble to the drink. Normally you wouldn't want any bubbles in your spacecraft fluid lines, but the goal here is to make a drink that's palatable to all, and at a certain point creative liberties have to be taken! Call it a gaseous Nitrogen purge if you're married to the theme.


  • Ingredients:

  • I used:

  • Tanqueray
  • Cointreau
  • Giffard Violette
  • Canada Dry
  • Store-bought (freshly squeezed is better)
  • Store-bought (freshly squeezed is better)
  • Orange Peel

  • Directions:

  • 1. Pour all ingredients - minus orange zest - into a shaker.
  • 2. Shake vigorously with ice.
  • 3. Fine strain into a glass.
  • 4. Express (massage) the orange zest over the drink, then add it as a garnish.
  • 5. Enjoy!

This is a strong drink, meant to be nursed. If the moon is out, stare at it longingly while you take a sip.


Enjoy responsibly. Ad lunam.

Pilk - Beverage

Pilk (pepsi + milk)


My best friend has brought this drink up offhanded conversation for the better part of a decade, so I finally tried some to placate him. I'll begrudgingly admit... it's delicious. Tastes like a root beer float but with Pepsi and even less effort.

  • Ingredients:

  • babe please don't make me spell it out
  • (i used lactose-free 2% milk for mine - feel free to use whatever you like)
  • (if you're feeling extra experimental, try using a flavored Pepsi like cherry Pepsi)

  • Directions:

  • 1. Pour your Pepsi into the glass. Only fill about a quarter of the glass with Pepsi.
    • NOTE: If you pour the milk first, you are making Mepsi, not Pilk.
  • 2. Pour your milk into the Pepsi, aiming for a 60:40 P:M ratio. Do not stir or swill the mixture, just let the chemistry do its magic.
    • NOTE: The mixture will expand as soon as the two liquids make contact. Add the milk carefully and do not overpour. If you add too much milk or started your mixture with too much Pepsi, the resultant chemical concoction will overflow its receptacle and create a sticky, milky mess.

Please note that this is a drink meant to be chugged, not sipped. If the components stay mixed for more than a minute or so, the acid in the Pepsi will begin to curdle the milk foam, forming an unappetizing Pangrea.

Creamy Tortellini Soup - Meal

Creamy Tortellini Soup


This is a recipe that has hitchhiked a long way, and I hope by sharing it with you it'll continue to spread and bring people joy! I got this from my close college friend, who got it from his wife, who got it from her sister, who got it from her mom. I've brought this dish to many potlucks and many soup parties, and I ALWAYS go home with an empty bowl.

  • Ingredients:


  • Directions:

  • 1. Melt butter in a large saucepan or soup pot.
  • 2. Add onion, garlic, carrots, italian seasoning, salt & pepper; cook over medium-low heat for 6 min. or until vegetables are tender. Add mushrooms.
  • 3. Whisk in flour; whisk until crumbly. Slowly add broth & continue to vigorously whisk until everything is well combined, with no clumps.
  • 4. Bring soup to a boil, the add frozen tortellini & spinach.
    • NOTE: Add the spinach in waves - at this point your spinach bag probably has more volume than the entire soup, but the spinach will SHRINK like crazy as you add it.
  • 5. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until tortellini is tender and heated through.
  • 6. Stir in cream or milk; bring back to a boil & cook for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth and thickened. Then stir in shredded cheese.
  • 7. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
  • 8. Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
Chicken Corbin Bleu - Meal/Experience

Chicken Corbin Bleu

A DCOM twist on a culinary classic. While the dish itself remains unchanged, the aesthetic experience is elevated by the inimitable ouevre of one Corbin Bleu Reivers. Turns out Bleu is his middle name and not his last name? crazy work

To sample this divine undertaking, you must simply make Chicken Cordon Bleu while watching Corbin Blue movie(s) the entire time. From pre-heat to meat eat.

My personal choice of flick would always be Jump In!, on the basis of the movie's indisputibale quality and its perfect 85 minute runtime for this undertaking.

This recipe was always my go-to back when I could eat ham, but if you have a CCB recipe you prefer, go wild. It's what Corbin would want.

  • Ingredients:

  • I used:

  • Jump In!  (2007)
  • Fool-proof Chicken Cordon Bleu


  • Directions:

  • 1. Follow the directions to your chosen Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe, while watching your chosen Corbin Bleu film(s).
    • NOTE: Ensure 100% Corbin cinematic uptime, from the moment you being the oven pre-heat to the moment you finish eating.
    • NOTE: Any chef worth their salt considers post-meal dishwashing to be part of the cooking process. I suggest you maintain Corbin coverage even as you clean up.
