HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE! The Nom has its very first video tutorial completed. Yes, it’s a little ugly and rough around the edges, but so am I. This also means there’s room for improvement…and this is just the beginning. Many more to come and each one will be better than the last!
To kick off this momentous moment, we whipped up a batch of my famous “Evil Genius” cocktail and included a seriously solid slug of Virus Vodka to give it an impressive kick.
While the video gives you a pretty good rundown of the process, let me get you the list of ingredients you need for this foul concoction!
To make your own Evil Genius (complete with edible green gelatin tentacles) you will need:
- Two vitamin B2 tablets, crushed
- 3 cups lemon lime soda – divided
- 1 1/2 cups Virus Vodka – divided
- 1/2 cup orange Curacao
- 2 scoops lime sherbet
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 box lime gelatin
- 1 teaspoon instant vanilla pudding mix
You will also need:
- Tentacle Mold*
If you don’t have your own tentacle mold, click here to read my tentacle molding tutorial. I used Smooth-sil 940 food grade silicone and these tentacles.
The Devil is in the Details: Speaking of tentacles, here’s a pro-tip. To make sure your tentacles are strong enough to stand up to some serious time in your drinks, make them 24 hours ahead of time and allow them to “cure” in the fridge. The added time will help dry the surface out a bit, making them last longer in your drink when it’s time to serve.
And for some fun behind the scenes shots, here are what the tentacles look like on their own:
All plated up and ready to go.
Under the blacklight, the B2 vitamins give your tentacles an eerie green glow!

You are a mad genius – I absolutely LOVE this! And the surprise that they glow in the dark at the end was awesome. 🙂
Ahahaaa! They were so much fun to do! I’m glad you liked them. 🙂
Glad to find this devilishly delish site – in plenty of time for Halloween parties/ potlucks, etc. Recipes look yummy and not very hard to do!
Glad you found us! Happy (upcoming) Halloween!
Your creativity is amazing! Love it.
Help please–I know nothing of mold making, and have read your tutorial. I don’t understand how you made the tentacle molds. Did you end up doing a split mold, to get the products out? Or does the mold cure with enough flexibility to remove the tentacles? It doesn’t look like a simple imprint.
You’re right! I did do a split mold…and I’m actually working on a new tutorial today that uses the mold again so I’ll make sure to include a detailed breakdown of exactly how I made the mold. I’m hoping to have it up and posted by this evening. 🙂
I just posted the full tutorial. I hope this helps! 🙂
