Fuck Yeah Fandom Drinks

Sherlock Ingredients: 1 oz. Top Shelf Vodka (We’re talking about Sherlock. Try Grey Goose or Belvedere) 1 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice 1/2 oz Blue Curacao 

Directions: Use a chilled stemmed glass. This drink would look smooth in a Martini Glass. Pour the ingredients in the glass in order. When you add the Blue Curacao, you’ll notice the color smoke into purple. Ah, Science. Optional Cherry Garnish, but don’t over do it. The body is just transport.

The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!

John Watson Ingredients: 1/2 oz Light Rum 1/2 oz Tequila 1/2 oz Gin 1/2 oz Vodka 1/2 oz Triple Sec Orange Juice Orange Wheel

Directions: The Glass doesn’t matter too much, you’re not trying to show off. Try a stein type shown here, or a Collins Glass. Shake the alcoholic ingredients with ice and strain into the glass. Fill with Orange Juice. You’re allowed to feel fancy, Float some Grand Marnier if you’d like. Add Orange Wheel. The idea is to let them think that you’re innocent, then you can unexpectedly kick them in the face. 

Now people will definitely talk.

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy cocktail)

Ingredients: 1 oz. Jack Daniels Whiskey 1 oz. Peach schnapps 4-6 oz. Orange juice 1 splash of Blue curacao 1 lemon twist  1 olive (optional) 

Directions: Fill a highball glass 3/4 full of ice. Add the Jack Daniels and peach schnapps, then top off with orange juice. Mix well, then add the blue curacao over the top.  Garnish with a lemon twist and olive, if you chose to include it. Drink… but… very carefully…

May 25th is celebrated by many as Towel Day, paying tribute to Douglas Adams’ comical space book series, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. So naturally, tonight is the best night of the year to drink some Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters, which, according to the book, feels like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick. While there are many “Earth” versions of the fictitious cocktail, the one we chose to post today is a more commonly served recipe. This version of the drink is served the Zaphod Beeblebrox nightclub and bar in Ottawa.

I had some once, made at a frat get-together one spring party (which was incredibly awkward, though my friends and I did find out just how incredibly useful a towel can be in a sudden downpour), except mine was blue.  And got me rather drunk at 8 am.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Sherlock Fandom, I present to you: The Moriartini

After a discussion about Sherlock teas, someone mentioned a Moriartini and all I could say was… Challenge accepted!

This drink is cool and unimposing, slightly flashy though not horribly impressive at first, but has a delightful spice that will fill your life mouth and could potentially burn the heart out of you! A little bit off, but still smooth… And perhaps just a bit gay.

Start with gin. Why gin? Well, vodka’s just obvious… don’t be obvious.

Combine two parts gin to one part cucumber juice

Add a dash of jalapeno juice

Add a dash of ginger juice

Garnish with a lemon twist and a cucumber slice.

I used a juicer to juice all the components, but you can infuse the alcohol by soaking several cucumber slices, one halved jalapeno and a half inch of ginger in gin overnight, but this will never be as tasty as if the ingredients are freshly juiced. Serve cold, I suggest shaking the gin with ice and pouring into a chilled glass. Don’t be afraid of the jalapeno, the ginger helps mellow the immediate kick, and the ginger is a little too spicy to be entirely delightful if you don’t include the jalapeno. It’s a lovely balance that is sure to please!

A unique cocktail perfect for an unique individual!
