What kind of flasks for Mad Scientist drinks?
Nothing completes this drink more than serving it in some Erlenmeyer flasks or “mad scientist” flasks, if you will. My personal favorite is the typical flasks you find in a chemistry lab. But, I also found a set of 8 adorable flasks complete with screw top lids and swirly straws perfect for kids.
How do you make Toxic Tonic drink?
You can make two versions of this — one for adults and one for kids. The one for adults uses Pino Grigio white wine, and the one for kids uses white grape juice.
I like putting the drinks together in one pitcher and then pouring it into the flasks via a funnel. You could also make each drink individually — I’ll post the individual recipe below the printable one.
One thing I recommend is getting a fairly wide funnel. I found a spice jar style funnel seems like the best choice to work. You want to make sure it fits into the Erlenmeyer flasks and also will let the drink flow freely because it will be kind of a slushy-style drink due to the sherbet.
When you’re ready to put the drinks together, pop the flasks in the freezer. This will help keep the drinks cold after you’ve prepared them.
