A Novel Adaptation18 Feb 2020

35 - Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt

What would you do if you lived forever? Would you even want to? Disney found a way to make it look enticing - once again giving us unrealistic expectations about life. Check out our predictions of how we die and what we would do if we had all the time in the world. Alexis Bledel is perfect for this role, a wild Victor Garber appears and we remember our younger selves oogling a discount Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Episode Drink:

The Fountain of Youth

2.5 oz of vodka
.25 oz of simple syrup
2 sprigs of mint
4 slices of cucumber

Instructions

Combine vodka and simple syrup in a mixing glass along with sprigs of mint and three slices of cucumber. Muddle the mint and three slices of cucumber. Add ice and stir to chill. Strain into martini glass and float the last cucumber slice on top of the drink as a garnish.

Our Drinking Game for this Story

Take a drink:

Every time the man in the yellow suit is creepy
Whenever you think about all the things you could do if you lived forever
When you remember that it is a bad idea and this book is warning you away from that
Knock back your drink when you realize life is fleeting. We all live; we all die; and we don't have enough time.
