Shirley Templar (Assassin’s Creed cocktail)

Ingredients:
Ginger Ale
Sprite
1.5 oz. gin
1.5 oz. grenadine
1 maraschino cherry

Directions:
In a highball glass with ice, fill most of the glass half with Sprite, half with ginger ale, leaving a bit of room at the top.  Mix in a shot of grenadine and a shot of gin.  Place a maraschino cherry on the top and serve.

Patron: “Shirley Templar? What’s in it?”
Desmond: “The usual, I just add some gin.”

A Shirley Temple is traditionally a non-alcoholic drink. In Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, it is revealed that Desmond makes his own alcoholic version of the drink, dubbed a Shirley Templar, by adding gin.

Truth, Lie, Stout (L.A. Noire Cocktail)

This drink was created for an article in The Guardian.

Ingredients:
Kahlua
Vodka 
Guinness (“We use the bottles of Guiness original,” says James)

Directions:
“To reflect Rockstar’s stylish noir thriller, we wanted a sophisticated, smooth drink with a classic feel, and an edge of darkness about it. Truth, Lie, Stout – based around the three responses that lead character Cole Phelps can make during interrogation sequences – is the result. Take your choice of glass and start with 25ml measures of Vodka and Kahlua, then top up with Guinness. “You should stir before drinking to move the booze around,” adds James.”

Solve the case of the Black Russian by interrogating this tasty mix of Kahlua, vodka and Guinness.

Batman: Arkham Party (Batman: Arkham City Shot Set)

This drink was created for an article in The Guardian.

Ingredients:
Midori
Vodka
Crushed Ice
Blue Curacao
Sambuca
Cranberry Juice
Rum 
popping Candy
Fresh Mint 
Sugar Syrup
Blackcurrant Coulis (You can buy this in bottles or jars)
Champagne

Directions:
“This shot set sees some of Gotham’s most dastardly villains taking on the Dark Knight. For The Riddler, pour 20ml of Midori down the inside of glass, then add 5ml of vodka over a spoon. For a Mr Freeze, crush some ice and pour it into your shot glass, followed by 10ml of Blue Curacao and 10ml of Sambuca. Your Joker is made from 15ml Blue Curacao, cranberry juice and rum with a topping of popping candy (“You’ll need to stir it up with a straw to get the colour,” says James). Then we have a Poison Ivy, grown from 15ml of rum, a fresh mint leaf (or a dash crème de menth if you prefer) and sugar syrup. Finally, create your Batman/Bruce Wayne shooter with 5ml of blackcurrant coulis and champagne.”

Elderflower Scrolls: Skyyrum (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Cocktail)

Ingredients:
Skyy vanilla vodka
Sparkling elderflower presse
Spiced rum (Sailor Jerry)
Orange peel

 Directions:
“We’ve based this whole drink entirely around a series of highly amusing Skyrim puns – but luckily, it’s also delicious. First, create a sugared rim by dipping your high ball glass into the vanilla vodka, and then into a plate of sugar. Now put ice into the glass and pour in 175ml of the presse down the side (the inside, of course). Add a measure of spiced rum on top of that, and garnish with an orange peel dragon’s tongue.” 

I used to make cocktails, but then…

Gears of War drinking action from The Drunken Moogle in time for the weekend!

The Drunken Moogle:

The Domfather (Gears of War Cocktail)

1 shot black cherry rum
1 shot Captain Morgan’s rum
1 shot grenadine
1 shot lemonade
Fill with Sprite 

Directions: Mix first four ingredients and pour over ice in a highball or pint glass. Fill the rest of the glass with Sprite. Drink it down and KILL ALL LOCUST!

Story Behind the Drink: This drink was co-created by Carlos Ferro, the voice actor of Dom in the Gears of War games. While at E3 2011, Drunken Moogle reader Joe Fronczek met Ferro at a Gears of War 3 after party. They attempted to order a Crimson Omen, but the bar unfortunately didn’t have all the ingredients, so they made their own drink (The Domfather).
