The Scottish play strikes again
The whole reason adaptations of Romeo and Juliet don’t work is wrapped up in the first line of the show.”
“Two houses, both alike in dignity –”
That’s it. That’s the entire point. The Montagues and the Capulets are both rich, noble families. They’re on equal footing with each other. Both are frivolous and careless in that specific manner that only the generationally wealthy can be. The show and its message only work if both parties are equally rich and careless. If you try to translate it into any other context (Juliet is an heiress and Romeo is a punk, etc) you may have a good story, but you lose the entire point that Romeo and Juliet hinges upon. You may have a perfectly good story in its own right, but that story is no longer Romeo and Juliet.

…what needful else
That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,
We will perform in measure, time and place.
You’ve just become king of Scotland (four for you!), but instead of throwing a massive coronation after-party, all you really want to do is sleep. Alas, sleep will have to wait, because your country has gone to shit and nearly everyone you know is dead. It’s been a rough couple of days. You have a lot of cleaning up to do and you know it.
We bring you: The Malcolm.
Ingredients:
- Coffee. The strong kind.
- 2-8 cl Scotch. Also the strong kind (Glenfarclas 105 is perfect).
- Cream.
The stroThe real deal, not that no-fun low-fat stuff. - Vanilla sugar
- Hot chocolate powder
- Milk and sugar if it pleases Your Majesty
Preparation:
In a big cup, prepare the coffee as you normally would (milk, sugar, etc.), then add some hot chocolate powder (Whittard’s Luxury white hot chocolote would suit you well today, my lord), and stir. Add the Scotch. Make it a double shot. Make it a quadruple, if you like. You’re the king, no one tells you how much booze to put in your morning coffee. Whip the cream with the vanilla sugar (again, you’re the king. If you want three packs of vanilla sugar in your whipped cream, treat yo’self). Pile the result on top of your coffee and sprinkle with some more cocoa powder. You deserve it.
Your vessels and your spells provide
Your charms and everything beside
I am for the air. This night I’ll spend
Unto a dismal and a fatal end.
Happy Samhain!
Who is more appropriate to be a namesake for a Halloween-themed drink than Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, herself? Even our three witches are scared of her, so your enemies should be, too.
Sweet and sour and with a twist, if this one doesn’t make you feel the magic… just have another one. So put on some candles, get out your pointy hat and whatever remains of formerly living beings you have lying around and let’s start brewing!
Ingredients:
- 2cl Koskenkorva Salmiakki (or liquorice schnapps of your choice)
- 2cl vodka
- Lime lemonade (the sourer the better)
- Relentless Apple & Kiwi energy drink
- No ice. You don’t want to water this down, do you.
Preparation:
If possible, use a (not too big) glass that resembles a cauldron or a goblet for ultimate witchiness. Mix the lime lemonade and energy drink in about equal parts in your cauldron and add the vodka. Carefully pour in the Salmiakki from the edge of the glass. Don’t stirr, otherwise you’ll get something that looks like it’s going to drink you. Garnish with a voodoo doll of someone you want to watch while they lose everything.
*tastes potion like a chef testing the soup* hm. needs more eye of newt.
this is hilarious + its even funnier if u kno that eye of newt is probably mustard seed
so who else was today years old when they learned that “eye of newt” is mustard seed and not the literal eye of a newt or am i just dumb
Theres even more beyond eye of newt
no wonder my potions never work the way they should
