Terrible Influence Tour Themed Cocktails

I got experimental with my cocktail mixing to come up with some themed drinks for the livestream this weekend! 🍸🍹💙

Recipes under the cut.

The Terrible Influence

More for the on-theme color than anything. Also just wanted an excuse to make a sparkly cocktail. 😅  Not too sweet!

1.5 oz gin

1 oz blue curacao

.75 oz creme de violette

.5 oz lime juice

bar spoon/dash of simple syrup

edible cocktail glitter (optional)

sugar for rim (optional)

Rim glass with a mixture of sugar & glitter if desired. Add gin, blue curacao, creme de violette, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into glass. Add a sprinkle of edible glitter to the glass and stir in.

The Her

You’re going to need to like cherry (and tequila) for this one! A play on a cherry margarita, with the addition of Bénédictine (a liqueur said to have originally been developed by monks). 😉

6 cherries

.75 oz lime juice

2 oz tequila

1 oz cherry liqueur

.5 oz benedictine

black food coloring (optional)

cherry (for garnish)

Muddle cherries and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add tequila, cherry liqueur, benedictine, and food coloring. Add ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a cherry.

The “Are They Fighting?”

Self-explanatory. ❤️🥊💙 You can add more ginger beer to taste (after mixing the layers) if needed!

1.5 oz grenadine

1.5 oz vodka

2 oz ginger beer (or ginger ale)

1.5 oz blue curacao

Add grenadine and vodka to a glass and stir. Fill the glass with ice. Combine ginger beer and blue curacao separately. Hold an upside down spoon over the glass and VERY SLOWLY pour the curacao and ginger beer mixture over it to create a blue layer on top of the red. Stir together before drinking.

The Phlonde 

Perfectly blonde and very sweet, just as Phil likes!

1.5 oz vanilla vodka

1 oz lillet blanc

.5 oz elderflower liqueur

.5 oz lemon juice (.25 oz if no sugar rim or you like things as sweet as Phil does 😆)

1 dash orange bitters

lemon peel (for garnish)

sugar for rim (optional)

Rim glass with sugar if desired. Add vanilla vodka, lillet blanc, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, and orange bitters to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake for 15 seconds. Strain into glass. Garnish with lemon peel.

No but seriously imagine it:

You're seeing the kansas city chiefs and philadelphia eagles play the super bowl. Everyone is having a great time. Travis Kelce seem a little excited. "We have a surprise for you guys." He says. All of a sudden the philadelphia eagles come out and start…um…doing football shit or whatever. When philadelphia eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts starts kicking(?) the ball, someone else starts singing…

"T E R R I B L E SAY IT TO MY FACE YOU WANNA INFLUENCE ME”

Lights flash everywhere, and you see Dan and Phil singing "The Terrible Influence Song” while the chiefs and the eagles tackle each other homoerotically. Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn't get any better, they let Phil Lester kick the football, which flies into the stands and into Donald Trump’s face, killing him instantly.

[bearjam]

In a little over a week, the PBC's first ever virtual Audio Fiction Convention kicks off in the Discord/on Twitch! There's still time to pick up a ticket over on our EventBookings page if you haven't already done so.

Tickets are free, with the option to upgrade to a paid ticket and donate to the PBC if you'd like. If you have any issues with the site not taking your card or otherwise, we also have a Ko-Fi, and greatly appreciate the support ❤️

Tell us in the reblogs/replies - what events are you most excited for during the con? We might be a little biased, but we're really looking forward to hanging out with everyone at the modcast on Saturday ;)

Back to feeling like I want my mom to make me feel better. She hasn’t made me feel better in over 15 years. I miss having parents who truly care about me and now who they pray I’ll be

The BBC have informed the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, Equity and the Society of Authors that as of April 2025 they will be making dramatic cuts to the output of Audio Drama on BBC Radio 3, completely eradicating audio drama from Radio 3.

This change will see not only essential jobs and employment opportunities for creative workers slashed, but programming of new material and new performers totally gone. The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, Equity and the Society of Authors have written a letter to ask the BBC to reconsider these cuts and to save Audio Drama.

Please add your signature so we can demonstrate the strength of feeling against these cuts.
