Oh sure, it's easy to find the cocktail of your dreams out there in internetland. But what if what you really want is the cocktail of your nightmares? Where's the cocktail to sate the the implant chip inside your hand? To that end, check out the latest, terrifying-looking internet sensation: the Alien Brain Hemorrhage.
To make one, fill a shot glass halfway with peach schnapps. Gently pour Bailey's Irish Cream on top. After the shot is almost full, carefully add a small amount of blue curacao. After it settles, add a few drops of grenadine syrup, and voila—taste the nightmare! We'd add that it might not hurt to wrap your glass with tin foil for the full effect.
To get an idea of just what the Alien Brain Hemorrhage looks like in reality, watch the video below. Bonus points if you can follow along with the probably drunk, definitely curse-happy stars of the video:
