Gathatoulie

And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

unhappy juice

I did invent (but have never consumed) something that could perhaps
pass as "unhappy juice":

1 bottle of Czech beer
1 long-pulled shot of Italian espresso
1 snifter cheap British gin
1 glass French white wine (alternatively: 1 glass Spanish red)
1 shot Kirschwasser (German cherry liqueur)

Shake first four ingredients gently with ice and pour into a large
beaker. Float the liqueur over the top. Serve a slice of orange or
lime. Drink through a straw.

The actual title of this drink is the "V for Vendetta". Its primary
purpose is to give whoever consumes it a whopping headache. It also
lowers psychic barriers, so that while under the influence, the
imbiber should be subjected to a reconditioning program, e.g. to fight
fascism in all its forms. May raise or lower IQ via an undisclosed
formula involving a 20-sided die and data on the choice of orange or
lime slice.

"Happy juice" would be a very different recipe... Melon juice,
cucumber juice, lychee juice, coconut milk, nuts... these things all
tend to make me feel pretty happy. I'd happily try a beverage with
those ingredients, anyway!

Some place in the middle: recently I made green tea ice cream again,
and tried making a green tea ice cream/sake float. Tasty, if
intoxicating!
