Let’s talk about hot dogs. You can literally identify cities from just looking at a hot dog from that region. Sure–you can kinda do that with pizza–but call me Mr. 305 because we International.

In a 90’s landscape filled with insane snack game competition, Ecto Cooler E Juice achieved upper echelon status and with good reason: it was green, it was sugary and it was inspired by Ghostbusters.

Both their band and EP names are pop culture references (The Simpsons and The Graduate respectively) and so I created a cocktail in their honor: Cereal Milk White Russians (aka the “Milkhaus”).
