Glacioclasm can spawn with Subsistence and Reservoir Burst. Which is just a rude combination. This drink is sweet and decedent. Enjoy!  

This is a fun party game that will take a little prep. You will need to make a batch of my Buzz Button Moonshine, which can be found on my Fuzzy Bantha Recipe:

Here is what you will need to set up:

I walked by the Rhubarb at the supermarket and knew I had to make this. This is a fun drink with good strawberry freshness and excellent sour notes from the rhubarb and lemon vodka. give it a try. (and sorry for the cooked picture….)

Recipe for Strawberry Syrup:

2 cups Strawberry Jam 1 cups Water

combine into a small sauce pot, heat gently and stir until a it becomes a thin syrup.

Aku Aku is Crash Bandicoot’s faithful companion. On the race track, or collecting mangos. This is a classic Mai Tai, with some changes. The addition of Pineapple juice, 151 proof Rum, Coconut Rum and a little pineapple juice make this a tropical paradise in a glass. This is one of my more complicated recipes, Tiki Cocktails tend to have a lot of ingredients.

Everyone seems to be in love with the giant Vampire lady. So we have a Tall glass filled with Grapefruit and my own Lavender town Liqueur. Recipe can be found here:

The Godzilla, much like the giant lizard its based on, is to be both fear and respected. this packs a pretty good punch and gives you the energy to do something about it. Enjoy Responsibly.

Wait! Listen!

This Trio of drinks is 3 of the main characters from one of my series of games. There really is not a bad Zelda game (some are better than others…) If you are going to drink these solo, start with Navi (the Shot) move on to Link (the green one) and finish with Zelda (the champagne flute) you will be pretty buzzed and ready to play some Zelda.

Here is the Recipe for the Ginger Rosemary Syrup you will need for the Zelda Drink:

Ginger Rosemary Syrup

1 Cup Water

1 Cup Sugar

8 Oz Ginger, Peeled and Diced

6 inch Rosemary Sprig (or two 3 inch, etc)

Boil together until sugar is melted, place in clean container with a lid (im a fan of mason jars) at least overnight in the fridge to meld the flavor, strain into a squeeze bottle for later use (This is an old recipe that can be found here:)

Navi 1 oz Absinthe 1 tsp sugar Garnish Sugar rim Rim a shot glass with sugar. Shake absinthe and sugar in a mixing tin with ice for at least 20 seconds. pour absinthe into shot glass.

Link 1.5 oz Melon Liqueur 1 oz Pinapple juice Juice of one Lime 3 oz Mtn Dew Garnish: Half a lime rind, juiced. Add Melon Liqueur, Pinapple juice, and lime juice to a mixing tin. shake for 10 seconds with ice. Strain into a Collins glass with ice. top with inverted lime rind (to resemble Link’s hat)

Gotta go fast!!

Sonic would probably love Monster Energy. This combines an awesome energy drink with some gin (much better than it sounds) with some blue curacao for Sonic trademark blue color. The lemon wheels are for sonic. as long as he has one he won’t die.

This one will harm you. This is equal to about two and a half shots. It goes down surprisingly smooth. The color comes from the liqueurs only, no additional dyes. The melon liqueur is for the Glistering Melon needed to make the healing potion. The bourbon is for the Nether Wort.

Kronk!

Don’t screw this up! I wrote out the recipe step by step!

Everyone knows the classic sound of Mario collecting a coin, then finally getting 100 of them and getting a 1up. This is a drink to celebrate that sweet moment.

This is one of three unique alcoholic beverages sold by the Argonian Talen-Jei at The Bee and Barb in Riften. This one in particular was super good. Its very smooth and warming for a cold beverage. The spiced port wine combined with the blackberry and absinthe is sweet and boozy with out either being overpowering.
