The Original Legend of Zelda was released on February 21 1986, and since February 21 is just around the corner I'm celebrating the greatest video game series of all time with a drink. In the original game there were two potions, Water of Life and the creatively named 2nd Potion. Water of life was blue, and 2nd Potion was red, when you consumed 2nd Potion it turned into Water of Life, thus granting a second use; a pretty good deal! In this episode I'm imagining how one might make a 2nd Potion by turning a blue drink Red (ok, more, purplish but go with me) thus upgrading it from Water of Life into 2nd Potion. More importantly, it's pretty tasty and I think you'll enjoy it! At the very least your guests will be impressed. The end result sort of reminded me of a Shirley Temple, so just for fun I make one of those too.

1 oz. -or- 30 ml. Simple Syrup
