Orange juice, Bret. Orange juice.

The actual receipe as I remember you making them was 1 shot Midori, 2 
shots Vodka, fill one of Her Majesty's pint glasses with Orange Juice. 
Drink liberally (irregardless of ones political leanings. Alcohol causes 
all to lean equally.)

Sad news to report, my offical pint glass, smuggled from England by 
"Black" Bret, suffered an unfortunate fall into the sink at the hands of 
one of my cats and/or my wife and has gone to the great glazier in the sky.
