It wasn’t until I arrived at work that I saw that Twitter was lit up with people talking about 90210 day. At first I didn’t get it, and then it all made sense, September 2nd, 2010.

At Madtini Intoxicology Labs we’re always up for celebrating just about anything, so why not raise a glass to the second day of September and the hangout for the Brandon, Brenda, Dylan and the rest of the Beverly Hills: 90120 gang.

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz coconut rum
