The test tube baby drink was made in a test tube and was simply on and a half shots of this flavoured vodka which is the colour of formaldehyde with a shot of Baileys in it to look foetus-like. It tasted... decidedly bad. Vodka + Baileys is not good. Grenadine for the blood splat would be neat.
The gas chamber drink was (if I remember correctly) 2 parts absinthe, one part white sambucca, flambe with the fumes trapped under a wine glass. Shoot the very warm shot and inhale the fumes from under the glass with a straw. The shot was meh, the fumes were painfully hot and stupendously alcoholic. I was spinning for the rest of the night afterwards. I recommend it with the caveat that one take it easy with the drinking afterwards or it could be chunderific.
