The Smashing Pumpkins have revealed their very own goth smoothie in collaboration with California grocery store chain Erewhon.

Costing $19.79 (we see what you did there!) the spooky-yet-healthy drink is available between now and November 8 at all Erewhon shops, with proceeds going towards the Concussion Legacy Foundation – which is ‘a non-profit organisation that fights for concussion safety and a world without CTE,’ according to a statement.

Speaking about the ‘nutty, decadent’ drink, which is made up of fancy almond milk, coconut yoghurt, electrolytes, coconut water, beet juice, maple syrup, peanut butter and lots more yummy stuff, frontman Billy Corgan tells US Weekly that, “The OG Goth name is in tribute, and particularly to those great and pioneering gothic bands in LA who inspired me to be myself and trust in the kind of music I dreamed of making.

“As well as those that [are] born unique or have [been] overlooked or othered by a culture writ large and somehow together we find common cause and community in our own, self-created netherworld.”
