nothing like a beer bong to motivate me to write my papers due tomorrow!
FUCK YEAH COLLEGE OF ARTS & LETTERS
These are my friends. This is what happens at 6:22 in the evening. This is why we can’t have nice things.
RAGE.

YEP
That’s the plan. I’m not cut out for this “social life” business. Trying to plan what parties to go to and when and where to be at midnight etc. Drinking alone with my only friend is about as much planning as I can handle.

Batman - Arkham Party
The caped crusader better have some paracetamol in that utility belt – this isn’t so much a cocktail as a super villain fist fight.
What you’ll need
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 if you don’t want to make your own)
Champagne
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. Now let the flavour battle commence!

The Portal 2- The finest beverage breakthroughs from the Aperture alcohol research labs. Drink them in the name of science. You monster.
What you’ll need
Blue Curacao
Vodka
Lemonade
Cointreau
Rum
Orangina
Small tumblers
This drink is, of course, designed to resemble the two coloured portals from the excellent sci-fi puzzle game. For the blue version, get a small tumbler and pour in 10ml of Blue Curacao, 10ml of vodka and top up with lemonade. For orange you’ll need another tumbler, this time filled with 10ml of Cointreau, 10ml of rum and Orangina. If you fancy, you can jazz the glasses up with coloured sugar rims. Simply pour some sugar into a sandwich bag with the relevant food colouring, shake them up, pour the resulting mix into a dish and dip your tumbler in. “You can mix the portals together if you like,” says James. “It’s a very orangey flavour, which we thought tied in with The Orange Box, the compilation in which the original Portal appeared.”

L.A. Noire - Truth, Lie, Stout - Solve the case of the Black Russian by interrogating this tasty mix of Kahlua, vodka and Guinness.
What you’ll need
Kahlua
Vodka
Guinness (“We use the bottles of Guiness original,” says James)
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.

Elderflower Scrolls: Skyyrum - A sweet yet heroic epic, pairing elderflower presse with spiced rum to cast an exotic spell over your taste buds.
What you’ll need
Skyy vanilla vodka
Sparkling elderflower presse
Spiced rum (Sailor Jerry)
Orange peel
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.

Got some great stuff queued up for you guys for your christmas eve parties (especially for those of you that love booze and video games combined, as I do).
What you’ll need
Ginger beer (You could use Crabbies alcoholic ginger beer if you fancy more of a kick)
Goldschlager
Overproof rum (“we use Wray and Nephew,” says James)
Cinnamon
A box of matches
Like the Uncharted games, this drink is one big action set-piece. Grab a highball glass and rub lime juice around the rim before dunking it onto a plate of sugar, then pour in 175ml ginger beer. Next, get a shot glass and pour in 10ml of Goldschlager, followed by 15ml of overproof rum, poured over the back of a spoon. You can now carefully light the shot and sprinkle cinnamon over the top from about 40cms to get an impressive flame. Then blow it out and drop the shot glass into the ginger beer.
