I decided to create a drink to honor the best video of the weekend, "Yosemitebear Mountain Giant Double Rainbow 1-8-10". (Scroll down to see it if you haven't already.)

It's guaranteed to make you say, "DOUBLE COMPLETE RAINBOW! What does this MEAN?"

The Double Rainbow

by Camper English

1 ounce vodka

1 ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur

4 or so ounces of soda water

4 dashes of grapefruit bitters (Fee Brothers brand)

lemon peel for garnish

rainbow ice cubes

Make rainbow ice by adding food coloring to an ice cube tray, filling with water and freezing. (For more fun with ice, see the index of all of the ice experiments on Alcademics here.) Cut lemon peel into stars. Add all ingredients to a glass filled with ice in rainbow order (two cubes per color, making it a double complete rainbow). Garnish with lemon stars.



This cocktail I actually created for a wedding several months back, but thought it would be appropriate here. (It's not so original that I would be surprised if many other people have created this same drink. I just poured it on rainbow ice.)

Note: If you enjoyed this video-inspired cocktail, perhaps you'd also enjoy the Honey Badger Shot.

The video that inspired the drink is after the jump. Double rainbow all the way!
