Recipe:

2 ounces vodka

1 ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur

1 ounce lime juice

Cucumber, for garnish

Google Bard notes: “I chose these ingredients because they represent some of the qualities that I associate with Elizabeth Holmes. Vodka is a clear spirit that is often associated with purity and precision. St. Germain is a floral liqueur that represents Holmes’s creativity and vision. Lime juice is a tart citrus fruit that represents Holmes’s determination and drive. Cucumber is a refreshing vegetable that represents Holmes’s calm and collected demeanor.”

But wait: Bard added a disclaimer to the bottom of the recipe saying it does not condone Holmes’ actions since she is facing criminal fraud charge. ChatGPT, on the other hand, flat-out refused to make the cocktail.

Recipe: The Theranos is an unbalanced, overly floral cocktail that tried to present itself as sophisticated but winds up tasting like a perfumed turd. But in a kind of a good way? This drink received polarizing reviews from Gizmodo’s taste testers.
