The Jokes On You

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, people of the Internet. I cannot thank you enough
for stopping by. It is time for another episode of
your favorite podcast, the Cocktails and Mixology Podcast. We're just
gonna have a little bit of fun with the day's episode.
It's near enough to April Fool's Day and I'm always
a sucker for a good prank. To day's episode, we're

(00:23):
going to dive into wellsome April Fools cocktails and even
few mock tails guaranteed to be fun episodes to ground.
Let's die right into it. How about a mimosa's surprise.
Take some orange soda like fanto or sun kissed sparkling water,

(00:46):
a slice of orange for garnish. You'll need some champagne
flutes or a tall glass. Begin by filling your glass
with a generous amount of orange soda about two thirds
of the glass. Top it off with sparkling water until
the glass is almost full. This will mimic the fizziness

(01:08):
and look of champagne. Add a slice of orange on
the rim for authenticity, and make it look like the
perfect mimosa. Present it as a classic mimosa and watch
your guests faces as they take their first sip and
realize that soda and not champagne. The sparkling water combined

(01:33):
with orange soda mimics the appearance of a real mimosa.
Guests will be expecting the typical champagne taste, but the
bright sugary flavor of the soda will throw them off.
You may then want to give them an actual mimosa
so they aren't completely upset. How about bloody marry cereal.

(01:59):
You'll need me milk, red food coloring. A spoonful of
sugar is optional. Fruit flavored cereal like fruit lukes, fruit pebbles,
or any colorful sugary variety. Pour milk and glass, adding
a few drops of red food coloring until the milk
resembles the color of tomato juice. If you want a

(02:22):
more believable taste, add a teaspoonful of sugar to make
the milk slightly sweet, mimicking the sweetness of tomato juice
and a bloody marry. Fill the glass with a generous
amount of cereal fruit flavored works best for the bold colors,
and add a colorful straw for flair. Present it as

(02:42):
a classic bloody marry to your guests, but make sure
they're expecting a savory drink. They'll be in for a sugary,
milky surprise when they tasted the milk and red food
coloring create the illusion of a traditional bloody mary, but
once they dig in the spoon, they'll be con fronted
with cereal, completely derailing their expectations. How about a watermelon wipeout.

(03:10):
You'll need some watermelon jello or any fruit flavored jello
will do. Vodka or rum optional for the adults. Fresh
watermelon for carnishes also optional. Make the watermelon flavored jello
by following the package instructions. If you're including alcohol, mixed

(03:32):
the jello with vodka or rum instead of water. Let
thee jello cool and set it in the fridge for
a few hours until firm. Once the jello is set,
cut it into triangle shapes that resemble slices of watermelon,
and arrange the jello slices on a plate alongside fresh
watermelon for an extra touch of realism. Hand it to

(03:57):
your guests like a normal watermelon wagin When they buy
into it expecting juicy fruit, they'll get a taste of
alcohol or a sweet, fruity jello. The jello mimics the
texture of a real watermelon, and the color is spot on,
making it a hilarious prank when someone expects to take
a bite of fresh watermelon slice. How about gin and

(04:19):
tonic ice cream? Take some gin sugar to help with freezing,
lemon or lime, zest lemon slices for an optional garnish
and a martini glass. Combine gin tonic water in a
sugar in a bowl. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray or any mold,

(04:42):
and freeze for several hours. Once frozen, place the gin
and tonic ice cubes into a martini glass. You can
garnish with the slice of lemon or lime for authenticity.
Serve it to your guests with a cocktail stir and
they'll be confused when they realize it's ice cream milk
in a glass. The ice cubes look like the base

(05:04):
of gin and tonic, but the moment they start to melt,
they'll be surprised to discover it's an ice cream cocktail.
Ever hat an avocado margherita take one ripe avocado lime juice,
tequila triple sack or another orange liqueur, agave syrup or

(05:25):
other simple syrup. Salt for the rim and a margarita glass.
In a blender, combine the ripe avocado with lime juice, tequila,
triple sec and agave syrup. Blend until smooth. Salt the
rim of the margarita glass to give it an authentic touch,
and pour the creamy avocado mixture into the glass. If desired,

(05:47):
garnish with a lime wedge. Serve it to your guests
as a traditional margarita. They'll be puzzled by the creamy
texture that's nothing like they usually get. Avocados are not
the typical ingredient in margarita's, so when your guests take
their first sip, they'll be confused by the creamy, almost

(06:08):
dessert like consistency. Always good is a Pinia Colada smoothie.
Take a banana, half a cup of pineapple juice, half
a cup of coconut milk, crushed ice, a marchiano cherry
and pineapple slice for garnish. In a blender, combine the banana,

(06:28):
pineapple juice, coconut milk and crushed ice. Blend it until smooth.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, and garnish with
a marchiano cherry and a slice of pineapple. Hand it
to your guess as a tropical Penia colada, and they'll
be cut off guard by the non alcoholic, fruity smoothie

(06:49):
like flavor. These smoothie mimics the color and appearance of
Penu colada, but the absence of alcohol will leave your
guests trying to figure out what they've just tasted. How
about a cereal milk cocktail. Milk preferably whole milk, fruit

(07:09):
flavored cereal or Vodko or rum is optional. Ice in
a tall glass. Pour milk into a bowl with generous
amounts of fruity cereal, Let it sit for a few minutes,
then strain cereal out and reserve the milk. The milk
will have a colorful, sweet flavor reminiscent of cereal. In

(07:31):
a shaker, combine the cereal milk with vodka or rum.
Shake well. Pour the mixture over ice in a tall glass.
You can garnish with some cereal on top for a
fun touch. Serve the cereal milk cocktail to your guests,
who will be expecting a more traditional mixed drink but
will be surprised by the nostalgic, sugary flavor of cereal milk.

(07:57):
The unexpected cereal milk flavor combined with alcohol will create
a sweet, playful cocktail. The bright colored, quirky garnish will
enhance the illusion. I know I'm gonna make a gummy
bear martini tonight. Take some gummy bears, non alcoholic gummy bears,
of course, clear fruit juice or flavored soda, a splash

(08:21):
of soda water for fizz, and a martini glass. Place
gummy bears in a martini glass. Fill the glass with
clear fruit juice or soda like lemon, lime soda, or
fruit punch to give it a sweet, vibrant look. Add
a splash of soda water for fizz. Present it as

(08:41):
a typical martini, and when your guests take a sip,
they'll realize they're drinking soda and munging on gummy bears.
The visual of a martini with gummy bears as cocktail
garnishes adds to the surprise when they realize the drink
isn't alcoholic at all. How about a beer margarita. You'll

(09:02):
need some margarita mix, splash off tequila, a beer bottle,
or can a lime wedge for garnish. Make a classic
margarita with the mix tequila and a splash of lime juice.
Pour the margarita mixture into a beer bottle or can
for a playful presentation. Add a lime wedge to the
top of the bottle for added flare. Present the beer

(09:25):
to your guests and they'll be confused when they take
a sip and discover it's margarita, not beer. The beer
bottle disguises the margarita's true nature, leading to a funny
surprise when your guests expect beer and get tequila instead.
A milkshake mohito, you say, take some fresh mint leaves,
lime juice, white rum, coconut cream or whipped cream, crushed ice,

(09:49):
and a milkshake glass. Muddle fresh mint leaves and lime
juice in the bottom of milkshake glass. Add rum and
crushed ice. Add ag amount of whipped cream to the top,
making it look like a dessert milkshake. Present this milkshake
mohito as a playful drink and watch your guests try

(10:10):
to figure out if they're supposed to drink it or
eat it. The whipped cream and milkshake glass make it
look like a dessert, but the refreshing mint and lime
of the Mahido instead throw the guests off when they
expect something sweet instead of a zesty cocktail. Folks, unfortunately,
that's all the time we have for today's episode of

(10:31):
Cocktails and Mixology. It's just been a fun episode. April Fools,
the joke's on you until next time.
