Cocktail Recipe: The North Pacific Gyre

The New York Times recently wrote about one of my favorite environmental nightmares, the islands of plastic trapped in ocean currents:

If you want to be accurate, follow these proportions, but make your drink twice the size of Texas:

1 1/2 shots vodka

1 teaspoon honey

Pour into a large bucket type cocktail glass and stir well. Let the honey dissolve for a while (don't use ice cold vodka)

Crush some ice 

Add 2-3 shots of grapefruit juice and the crushed ice and stir

Run around the house in a swirling, whirlpool-like manner, collecting every small bit of plastic you can find, and cram it all into the glass

Top with soda
