Etco-Cooler

Credit: The Nerdist

Normally I come up with, or pass along, relatively healthy cooking suggestions. This is not one of those weeks. If you grew up in the 80's you will remember the animated Ghost Busters cartoon. A slew of toy and food tie-ins (like the Slimer pie) existed, one that I foundly remember my mother not letting me go near is the Ecto Cooler. Joke is on you Mom, because I can make my own...

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup orange juice (no pulp)
3/4 cup tangerine juice
1 packet orange Flavor-Aid
1 packet tangerine Flavor-Aid
1 spoonful Country Time powdered lemonade mix (or 1 packet of lemonade Flavor-Aid? Just throwin’ it out there)
1 3/4 cup sugar
Blue and green food coloring

DIRECTIONS:
Stir all ingredients in a gallon jug. Add water to fill the jug. Add food coloring until it’s just the right, unsettling shade of green.
