M O J I T O ! ! !

A nice refreshing flavorful cocktail that is also a classic every bartender should know. Don’t fret, cause I too just learned the proper and professional way to make a Mojito.

Some bars or people may train you to it differently or in a different order, however for the best tasting Mojito , this is the way I learned to have the best results!

Now the order I learned and have had the best results with is as followed:

-Mojito can go into a mason jar or a highball glass if that is all that is available. 

- squeeze and drop in 2-3 limes into bottom of MIXING TIN

- drop 2 - 2 ½  mixing spoon full of sugar (not over flowing but be generous)

- add mint leaves to the top of the above ingredients. (should see no limes after the mint is added. 

-Muddle mint leaves, make sure not to break the skin of the lime other wise it’ll be a bit too sour 

- Add ice to mason jar/cup

-1 ½ oz Light Rum

-1 oz simple syrup

-stir your ingredients from the bottom up 

-Spank herb leaves to flat. 

-Garnish is with the spanked herb 

-mint leaves on top of limes, enough to fully cover the limes ( so that when you muddle you don’t break the skin of the limes)

Sunshine Cloud

From Va11-hall a

60ml Spiced Rum

60ml Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

30ml Caramel Sauce

2 Dashes of Bitters

1 Pinch of Salt

Shaken and double strained onto ice and garnished with a mint sprig. Dill also works.

This marks the final cocktail for the Va11-hall a menu. It’s a delicious orangey salted caramel flavor with a sweet, smooth aftertaste.

I want to thank @valhallabarman for the support and for making such an incredible game. I’ve enjoyed making this fan project so much and I can’t wait to play N1RV Ann-A! (expect a recipie or two from that!).

From The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

30ml White Tequila

30ml Watermelon Liqueur

90ml Aloe Drink (explained below)

3 Spoons of Dragonfruit Flesh

1 Lime

Aloe branch for optional garnish

Cut lime into wedges and muddle in a cocktail shaker with dragonfruit.

Add Tequila, Watermelon Liqueur, and Aloe Drink.

Shake and strain over a large ice rock.

Optionally garnish with aloe and leftover dragonfruit as shown above.

To celebrate the launch of the BOTW sequel, here I am recreating the most interesting non-drinkable drink in the game! Before I get into detail however, here is a quick rundown on the Aloe Drink since it isn't avaliable everywhere.

Aloe Vera Drink: It's basically just peeled and crushed aloe with a bit of sugar syrup and diluted with water. Just look at the ingredients on the back of your usual apple juice and replace apple with aloe.

When making this recipe I tried to be as faithful to the source material as possible. I wanted to find out what a Noble Pursuit would taste like despite it's limited in-game description.

To begin, there are two main fruits that can be found growing around the Gerudo Desert.

Hydromelons and Volfruit which will be swapped for their real world counterparts Watermelon and Dragonfruit. While searching, I also found plants that resemble Aloe.

Furosa describes the Noble Pursuit as a "light sweet taste" and each sip having a "cooling sensation".

She also states that Link looks too young to drink it, cementing it as a cocktail of sorts. With all the cacti surrounding the village, our strongest bet is that they created a tequila or mezcal-like spirit with the cacti.

When mixing all of the ingredients together (and adding a bit of lime since it's a tequila cocktail), it actually came out exactly like Furosa said. The aloe gives it a nice cooling sensation, the watermelon liquer adds a nice sweet taste, and the hint of dragonfruit while faint is a unique flavor.

I used a large ice rock in this recipe since I assume Furosa had to cut off a chunk of what Link brings her during the quest. As far as looks go, I tried to style it in a way that fits the Gerudo Village theme, but you're free to garnish with whatever you want. Also feel free to use whatever tequila you have, I only used white because I thought it would help the light taste.

All in all, this drink is fantastic! It may be the best recreation I've made. I don't know if it was intentional, but Nintendo placed the perfect ingredients around this village for a bomb-ass cocktail!

If you have any questions please feel free to dm me or join our discord. I'm always down to help!
