funraniumOnce upon a time, there was a nuclear reactor in England that was air cooled like a '60s Volkswagen Beetle. It worked about as well as the average 60s Beetle too. It was called Windscale and its fuel and graphite moderator caught on fire. Who'd have thunk it, that graphite being pure carbon would burn...amazing! After this happened, England was told to not drink milk for a good long while. In order to get vital calcium and vitamins to children a "delicious", "healthy" drink called Ribena was created. People still drink it today for some reason. I find it only slightly less palatable than Manishevitz. A couple of days ago, they finally demolished the reactor, long since renamed Sellafield to help with the public relations problems.
But, in celebration of the demolition, I came up with a drink and consumed it so that YOU DON'T HAVE TO, just like thebenchilada eats the collective culinary errors of Asia. Much like Jesus died for your sins, I created two variants of a drink I call "The Windscale" and drank it for you. I recommend consuming neither of them.
Windscale Reactor One:
Equal parts Ribena and gin
Stir, chill, and serve.
VERDICT = Revolting
Windscale Reactor Two:
Two parts Ribena
One part green chartreuse (for that concerning plutonium solution look)
Shake in a tumbler with ice and serve.
VERDICT = Stomping on a week old body probably makes liquids this color...possibly this flavor.
I was not willing to waste precious absinthe to create a Windscale Reactor Three after the results of the previous two. The remaining Ribena has gone down the drain.

No. But I cannot imagine it as anything but hilarious.
