RED Episode #111: Part 1 of our 60k Gauntlet Challenge, King’s Tacos and Burritos, & Infinity Stone Cocktails

RUN

This week we completed the first 2 runs in our 60k Gauntlet Challenge from the Medal Chasers website.  This is a series of 10k runs for each infinity stone in the medal.  This virtual race series benefits the Pinky Swear Foundation that supports children and their families fighting childhood cancer.  This week we fought through the rain and heat that signals the start of the hot and humid Florida summers to earn those first two infinity stones.

EAT

This week, we highlight a local food truck that is doing some tasty Mexican dishes, King’s Tacos and Burritos.  They had vegetarian options for us!  So we had the Queen’s Burrito.  A grilled burrito filled with veggies, rice, and beans, this dish was huge and filling.  It came with a tomatillo and a spicy salsa that was authentic and crave-worthy!  They are doing orders online and partnering with local breweries for a great and safe takeout experience.  We can’t wait to go back and try more!  

DRINK

Paul Cottrell, a leading local distiller and cocktail wizard joins us to create two fantastic drinks representing each infinity stone we earned.  The space stone gin cocktail and the mind stone rum cocktail are up first.  Paul is a talented drink wizard who shows us creative drinks to celebrate our accomplishments.  He first joined us last year for National Mojito Day 2019 and you can check him out on the Run Eat Drink Podcast Quick Bite #78.

The Space Stone

1.5 oz Gin

.5 oz coconut cream (optional)

1 oz blue curacao

1 oz grapefruit juice (you could go full on Blue Hawaiian and add pineapple instead)

Club Soda (or a citrus-flavored sparkling water)

Shake and strain into a tall glass with ice and top with the club soda.

The Mind Stone

2 oz vanilla rum

1 oz lemon juice

3 oz fresh lemonade

Shake and serve.

Another Option:  Cut the lemon by half and add a splash of cream!

THAT’S A WRAP!
