Loki, The God of Mischief Cocktail: New Gin Gimlet Recipe

With the new Loki series hitting Disney+ on June 9, on Wednesdays instead of Fridays, I wanted to add a fun cocktail to my Marvel cocktail recipe series. But how do you make a drink that encapsulates a little good, a little bad, and surprises you? You think outside of the box and get creative! I made a new take on a traditional gin gimlet, using a surprise ingredient and I call it the God of Mischief cocktail!

First, I want to thank Melissa’s Produce for sending me a big box of the latest seasonal produce. I used that box to inspire me for quite a few recipes, including this latest Marvel cocktail recipe. But first, be sure to watch the new Loki series, only on Disney+, beginning Wednesday, June 9!

Loki is a beloved villain who has worked his way into the hearts of many, due to, or in spite of, his tortured past and rollercoaster behaviors of helping yet not helping those he should love. Saving Thor at the end of the Dark World left him ‘dead,’ yet he reappeared later with his infamous “Your savior is here!” line, helping to take the citizens of Asgard away from the exploding planet in Ragnarok. When we learned how he stole the tesseract during Avengers: Endgame, we got excited to know he was still out there somewhere, despite Thanos snapping his neck…and making me miss the first 30 minutes of Infinity War because I was so upset at his immediate death. Ahhh, Loki, you are my favorite villain ever and I can’t wait to see where Marvel Studios takes you next.

On June 9, we’ll be here, gathered around the big screen, ready to begin the latest saga of Loki. We’ll have themed food and the adults will be drinking this new God of Mischief cocktail. If you like gin, keep reading!

Before we get to the recipe, a little info on why this gin gimlet recipe is different. Gin gimlets are strong on the gin flavor, so if you don’t like the taste, you may want to either add more juice or skip it. Gin is delicious but it is distinctive in flavor. I changed this up by using a unique fruit, something you wouldn’t necessarily think of when you think ‘cocktail.’ I used the horned melon, or kiwano melon. Not what you were expecting, right?

kiwano melon

A horned melon is a prickly looking fruit, so you’ll want to cut it in half and scoop out the middle. The jelly-is filling can be eaten in its entirety, including the seeds, but for this recipe, I put the filling from one entire melon onto a wire mesh strainer and strained out the juice. One fruit gave me over two ounces of juice!

Aren’t they pretty? I also made a smoothie out of the filling, because the seeds are easily edible, but that recipe is in another post I’ll have up soon. (I’ll come back and update this with the link when it’s published.) A lot of people have created salsas and salads from the inside of kiwano melons, so a quick Google search will show you how versatile this fun fruit is!

God of Mischief Cocktail: A Gin Gimlet Recipe

Print

God of Mischief Cocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1/2 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz horned melon/kiwano melon juice
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ice

Instructions

  1. Fill cocktail shaker 1/3 full with ice.

  2. Place all ingredients into shaker.

  3. Shake 25 seconds.

  4. Pour into a martini glass or coupe glass. Enjoy!

Not only is this cocktail a little sweet, a little sour, but it’s green…which suits Loki perfectly. Kiwano melon (another name for the horned melon) juice has a green tint, so it just makes it a little more fun.

To ramp it up just a bit, I dressed up the cocktail with some green bendy candy. This particular kind I purchased at the candy store in Oak Glen, but I’m sure similar kinds are available in other candy shops, maybe like Pop Sugar?

In our house, Marvel gear is everywhere. The scepter you see in the photos was purchased a couple of months ago at Frank and Son Collectibles show, a huge fandom shop in an old Costco in Rowland Heights. You will wait in line, because it’s only open now on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We got there about 8:10am and when it opened at 9:00am, we were let in with the initial flow. Entry was stopped not far behind us though, in order to keep up with occupancy restrictions. This may change when California reopens next month, but I do not know. Bring your mask, too, you will be in close quarters in the individual booths inside. It is SO worth any wait you may have.

I hope you enjoy my new gin gimlet recipe, the God of Mischief cocktail! It’s another in my line of Marvel cocktails; you can find some others here. They make great drinks for movie or Disney+ nights!

SoCal winter is colder than you think, and I am al SoCal winter is colder than you think, and I am all about comfort and staying warm. I want to get dressed in the morning and be able to handle my whole day without having to do a wardrobe change, and these Max and Mia leggings fit the bill. And me. They fit me perfectly. They are high-waisted, which means they help hide my tummy jiggles while preventing the rolling down that often happens with leggings. For me, they’re like compression leggings without the higher cost, and they fit smoothly so I can wear them with anything. Dress them up, dress them down, they work with my Doc Marten’s and my Converse, a fancy sweater or this plush fleece sweatshirt.

I’m wearing a medium, and there’s a good flex, so I could officially call them eating pants, because no waist will be biting into me, which is almost as important as the warm factor. We’ve had high winds here in the Inland Empire, and I wore these out in it without filling any chill in my legs. Look cute, hide the chubs, feel warm, maybe even do yoga in them. Winning on all counts. Look for them at CostCo!

Thanks to @MelissasProduce, I got to try something Thanks to @MelissasProduce, I got to try something new and make this fun recipe for Lunar New Year. Shrimp, bok choy and egg noodles come together with a sweet and spicy sauce and a few other types of produce to make a one-dish dinner for your family. We’re a spicy family, so I added a little chili oil (and a dash of hot yuzu sauce) but you can change that up according to your family’s preferences. This serves probably four people if it’s your only entree, but could stretch a little more — I know the hubs had some good leftovers today, there was only three of us for dinner last night.

You can join the #LNYCookoff challenge by making two of the recipes out of the long list that Melissa’s Produce will supply. Check it out over on their Instagram feed! I’m trying a Garlic Gai Lan in a few days and I’m really excited to make something that I’ve never tried before. And I love garlic, so anything with it is a win.

Little side note: I went out of order on the recipes. I can’t eat beef so I had to skip ahead. The beef recipes look fantastic though! I just don’t buy it because I can only stare at it in envy. 😂

Throwing it back (thanks to Facebook memories) to Throwing it back (thanks to Facebook memories) to when we attended the opening party for nFuse at the Anaheim Marriott. What a blast! Bourbon tasting bar, meeting the chef, amazing food and cocktails…and crazy photo opps like this one! We had so much fun with foodie friends that night. As a Magic Key holder who is down in Anaheim often, I really have no excuse for not going back frequently.

Time for my yearly intro! I’m Donna, a mom of fo Time for my yearly intro! I’m Donna, a mom of four, grammy to two, and doggy mom to Shuri and Lady Sif. If the dog names didn’t give it away, I’m a huge Marvel and Disney fan. I’m also the owner of a social media marketing agency here in Southern California, and I have been a blogger since the early days. (I think my first blog started in 2005?) 

“Dangerous Cupcake” is based on a nickname my younger daughter created a long time ago, and since I started blogging because I wrote about my ‘dangerous cupcake’ combinations — all booze-infused, popular with friends, family members and clients — it seemed a fitting choice for my lifestyle blog. My blog is now a team effort; we write about food, drinks, travel, entertainment, home/life and more. 

We’re huge NASCAR fans, and I drive my dream car, so there’s also some automotive content mixed in. 

As I’m now in what is called midlife, one of my goals is to authentically share what life is like in what I call phase 2, where we’re still actively parenting but in a different realm. I’m not an empty-nester, but all our kids are over 18. This phase of life is pretty fantastic but we’re a generation that’s often left out of marketing despite the fact that we have more money and more time and we give less Fs about what people think. If you’re over 45, own it. Be yourself. And if you want purple hair, go for it — I do!

I’m glad to have you all here!

January can seem like a dreary month. Here in Sout January can seem like a dreary month. Here in Southern California, it can be full of rain, cloudy skies and temps that go up and down by the hour. It’s kind be a mood killer, as we’re putting away the fun lights and sparkly dresses and getting back to work. That’s why it’s important to take a break, get out and enjoy the fresh air while you can. Today’s window was small, and I only made it to a few stores at Victoria Gardens before the rain temporarily returned….and I realized I’d left my umbrella in my car, parked on the east side of the mall. I made that hour count though, enjoying this gorgeous view and scoring a few deals at Forever 21, Journeys and H & M. New chunky gold jewelry and purple Converse. (Have I shared that I have a thing with buying new shoes all the time?)

I’m starting 2023 off right — my kind of right. No resolutions, just getting back to my normal, and if that normal includes returning to better eating, more activity and new business goals, that’s not resolutions. That’s pulling out of the holiday fugue where <almost> anything goes. I cleaned out my closet, with no mercy. (I donated 8 bags of clothes and shoes, many with tags! Shameful waste but I hope someone else benefits at least now.) I filled out my Erin Condren Life Planner with a ton of content plans for my business, my blog and my clients. (Did you know I own a social media marketing agency? I’ve been in digital marketing for 25 years now! I’ll have to do another intro post soon!) 

Thanks to some wonderful inspiration here on Instagram, I’m also celebrating that I gave away some of my super shapeless sweats so I have less excuses to look like a slug during my days at home. More style, MY style, and less baggy outfits. I’ve got this..right?
