When You Need to Forget, Try a Mind Eraser

A Beastie Inspired Treat: The Mind Eraser

After episode 2x04: Hothead aired I was dying to find out just what were in those darn ‘Mind Erasers’. I hope these weren’t cause of Cat’s urges to start a bar room brawl, because they are pretty freaking tasty.

About the Drink
When drunk properly, the Mind Eraser creates a head rush similar to the one you get when you've eaten ice cream too fast. The drink is a sort of lowball shooter. It's built over ice and served with a straw. The trick is to drink the all of it through the straw in one shot. When you do this the carbonation gives you a quick head rush before the alcohol sets in to do its job. The Mind Eraser is a popular party shooter that poses the challenge of finishing it off in one drink.

I have come up with 4 variations of the drink. Sorry but I could not find a tasty virgin option this time. Next time you have a Beauty and the Beast viewing party try serving up one of the following drinks, it’s sure to be a hit.
