Alright WotC, fess up...who came up with "Emerald Frost"?

[Lonely Tylenol]

(hat tip to Kunimatyu)

Emerald Frost
3 mint leaves
1 T. sugar
juice of 1/2 lime
ice
2 oz. light rum
club soda

Muddle the mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar together in the bottom of a shaker. Add the rum and ice, and shake well. Pour into a collins glass and fill with club soda. Garnish with a lime slice, and serve.

In the 3.5E rules, this was called "The Mojito."

Well, that covers Emerald Frost. What are the other recipes?

Eh - why not? The ancients thought that acid was a type of water - aqua fortis, aqua regia are both latin names for types of acid IIRC.

And, of course, acid is liquid. It may not be aqua pura, but in the traditional elemental structure of air/earth/fire/water, a strong case can be made that acid belongs with water and not one of the other elements.

Acid is water. It's just water with a strong ion dissolved in it.

The only thing these names make me think of is some old run down tavern.

Spirit of Mana for the Twinkie!

Ohh... So Close...

Sounds like Chrono Cross to me.

DING! Enjoy Your Twinkie

[F4NBOY]

I prefer Red (fire/magma) and Blue (water/ice), Green (wind/flora), Yellow (earth/lightning), White (light/cosmos), and Black (darkness/gravity).

Twinkie to anyone who gets the reference

I don't remember any green wind/flora energy in chrono trigger.

EDIT: ah chrono CROSS... never played it

Alright, whose fault is this one? C'mon, fess up -- you came to that design meeting drunk, didn't you?

Probably the same person who came up with "extreme shield" in Races of Stone. I love that book, but I'm sorry, extreme shield is just so unfantasy.
