Book Review: What Would Skeletor Do? Diabolical Ways to Master the Universe

This weeks #bookoftheweek is What Would Skeletor Do? Diabolical Ways to Master the Universe by Robb Pearlman. This tongue in cheek sarcasta-manual on how to live life was a very fast 30 minute read that left me wondering: Is this genuinely good advice? Or the outcome of an extremely toxic personality? (Skeletors, not Mr. Pearlman's. I have not met Mr. Pearlman. I'm sure he's lovely :) )

The cocktail is, no surprise, Skeletor:

2 parts Gin
1 part Blue Caracao
1/2 part Grand Marnier
1 part Parfait Amour (I substituted Creme de Violette)
Top with Lemonade
1 Maraschino Cherry
Dash of Elderflower Syrup

Pour Gin and Grand Marnier into a glass and stir. Add Blue Caracao and Parfait Amour (Creme de Violette). Top with Lemonade. Add Dash of Elderflower Syrup and Maraschino Cherry.

I mixed it out of order on camera, but I made a second while the video was uploading, and it is still Blue. The Creme de Violette did not override the blue of the Blue Caracao. Not sure if Parfait Amour would make it purple or not.
