Cocktails~

Okay, the moogle website or whatever it's called made the Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur. So go there for them.

I made plenty of those at NYE, but I also made my own specials:

For a Charmander, you will want 1/3 shot strawberry liqueur, 1/3 shot of tequila, and 1/3 shot of Agrum blood orange soft drink. Gently mix in a shot glass.

For your traditional Charmeleon, you need a cocktail shaker, a cocktail shaker shaker (that's me!), and all of the above liquids. Shake together 1 shot of strawberry liqueur and half a shot of tequila. Pour into a standard glass/tumbler, fill with Agrum, then cut the top-most part of a strawberry off and place it in the drink.

Now for a Charizard, get prepared to feel the Blast Burn. You need a tall glass, a tall spoon, a tall barman. You need some chillis - lacking Dorcet Nagas or Habaneros, I used baby chillis. You will need no ice.

Mix together two shots of strawberry liqueur and one shot of tequila. Pour into a high-ball tumbler (note: if already drunk, make sure it's not an eightball tumbler as I accidentally said). Then fill to the top with Agrum, and add 1-2 chillis, making sure to cut the stems off, allowing an opening through which they can immediately infuse the drink with heat.

Almost immediately, the drink will become spicy, and it gets more powerful the longer you take, so if you don't handle chilli that well? Drink up.

At the next party I attend I'll look at blending blueberry vodka and blue curacao (what kind of drink is curacao, anyway? What does it mix with?) or whatever, and make Squirtles, Wartortles and Blastoises. No, I don't intend on covering all eight million Pokemon. Let's not even mention Shellder/Cloyster, shall we.

So, in the words of Stephen Fry, Soupy twist~

While Drunken Moogle already made Char-family drinks, yours sound much better for the causal drinker (whiskey, especially cinnamon whiskey, being quite an acquired taste).

They also made the Squirtle line, which primarily uses coconut rum and curacao.

Curacao is a fruit liqueur, flavoured with an orange like fruit called a laraha and comes from the Curacao island, where said fruit grows. Curacao is, of course, the primary colouring and flavouring aspect of an AMF, a drink I can only assume was made to get girly girls drunk as quickly as possible.

Oh, I haven't been to Drunken Moogle in quite a while. And my alcohol tolerance... is quite substantial. Alas I am not a cheap drunk.

Awhile ago, I came across the story of a Mario-themed bar night at the IT University of Copenhagen. They had Mario cocktails and played speedruns on the TVs. The actual site appears to be down at the moment, so here's a Wayback Machine link. There are no pictures at that link, unfortunately.

I haven't actually tried any of these (my liquor supply consists solely of one bottle each of rum and gin), but the Yoshi sounds pretty good.

Blue curaçao is flavored largely with the peel of a bitter stunted mutant valencia orange. While it can be used as an somewhat less alcoholic triple sec (on average, brands vary considerably), the main purpose of it is to make drinks blue so that women will drink them. You might consider just getting some quality food colorings instead, especially given the theme you seem to be going for.

A general note: Any shooter that isn't diluted with mixers and aren't pousse-cafes can be premixed for a party, and I would strongly suggest one consider doing so. It can be annoying when hosting and you can't use your shaker(s) because someone is experimenting with a bunch of sticky liqueurs, which invariably ends in a rainbow mess in one's workspace.

I don't know how I would pre-mix and then take all these pre-mixed drinks to a party. On foot.

Besides that, I take my own shaker with me.

You just use temporary bottles, perhaps like plastic ones for soda, making enough for several drinks in each. They're lighter than glass, to boot. Depending on the crowd size, and the bartender's fastidiousness, it can be a moot point.

Another set of shots: Batman- Arkham Party
note- it's set up kind of annoyingly, five or six shots listed as if it were a single recipe.

A recent local creation here is the Shanghai Whorehouse. It's extremely popular, and invented for the sole purpose of selling Pear Vodka. The bartender who invented it just got sick of staring at the bottle of Pear Vodka that never emptied and decided to make something up.

Anyway, here's the ingredients:

Pear Vodka
Ginger simple syrup
Lemon
Lime
Pineapple juice
Club soda

It's pretty great.

Well, I'm drinking a modified Blastoise now (subbed more coconut rum for the curacao, because the store didn't have any). It's pretty good.

(Calypso spiced rum and Coconut Jack coconut rum, for the record)
