The Mr. Hyde

by Louise Leander
(Chicago)

Came about in a flurry of drunken drink experimentation among a bunch of English grad students. Hence its literary name. That, and it's cruel nature. Mr. Hide contains all the wickedness of Dr. Pepper, and it is likely that when you wake in the morning, you won't remember what you did last night.

In a short, wide glass mix

1/2 Absolut Pepper vodka
1/2 Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke
A generous twist of lemon juice

Pour in a handful of frozen raspberries or cherries

Sprinkle with powdered chili
