Way back in 2009, when Speed Force hit 500 posts, my wife invented a Flash drink to celebrate. With the Flash TV Show premiering tonight, and Flash TV Talk posting their drink ideas, it seemed like a good time to repost our recipe:

Recipe: Flash Drink

• 4 oz Izze Pomegranate soda (or other red soda that goes well with cranberry)
• 2 oz cranberry juice cocktail
• 2 oz vodka (for non-alcoholic version, replace this with more cranberry juice)
• 1 Lemon

1. Peel zest from entire lemon in one long spiral with vegetable peeler.
2. Cut jagged bits into lemon peel to give it a zig-zag or lightning bolt look.
3. Cut lemon peel strip in half crosswise (use one half for each of two drinks).
4. Mix all liquid ingredients cold and pour into glass.
5. Place lemon peel decoratively in glass.

Ideally, you should have something else you can use the rest of the lemon for.

Enjoy!
