Tweedle Rum and Tweedle Tea (Alice: Madness Returns Cocktail)

Gaming cafe and bar Loading once again has created a wonderful gaming cocktail, this time for EA’s Alice: Madness Returns.  The bar, located in Cornwall England, was even endorsed by EA!

This Alice cocktail is in two parts, each representing Tweedledum and Tweedledee.  Tweddlerum is a jelly-mixture of black sambuca and Mount Gay rum, while Tweedletea is an in-house infusion of super fruit tea and vodka mixed with an elderflower presse.  The combo looks deliciously twisted!

If you would like to create the drink yourself, Loading has a few suggestions.  To make the infused tea, place a few fruit tea bags and vodka into a water filter (warning: get a separate water filter for this!) and let it filter through.  Repeat running the vodka through until it takes on the flavor and color of the tea.  For the jelly, add gelatin (or a vegetarian alternative) and the alcohol to cold water and place on the stove.  Gently heat the mixture until everything has dissolved and then pour the mixture into ice cube trays.  Chill and serve.

Bloody Alice (American McGee’s Alice Cocktail)

Ingredients:
2 oz blackberry brandy
Glass of tomato juice (V8 if you’re looking for something sweeter)
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
1 dash lemon juice 
Worcestershire sauce to taste

Directions: Shake all ingredients and pour into a highball glass.  Garnish with a large knife and serve.

This is actually a modified Bloody Mary, with the biggest change being the use of blackberry brandy instead of vodka (also, no Tobasco sauce).  There are many different ways to prepare Bloody Marys, so if you have your own recipe that you like, by all means use that one.  The recipe I based the Bloody Alice on is just a common Bloody Mary recipe.
