caoine: The Good Doctor (Mega Man / The Protomen cocktail)

Ingredients: 

• Bourbon (recommend Maker’s Mark, Bulleit, or Knob Creek), as much as you can handle
• SNAP (a ginger liqueur) to taste
• Ginger beer (ideally Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew or Gosling’s Ginger Beer)
• 2 Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine cherries

Directions: To make Doctor Light’s cocktail, mix all ingredients and serve on the rocks in a lowball glass. Spear the two cherries on a cocktail toothpick and place on top.

Emma Story, the drink’s creator, explains, “There was some discussion a while back about how shameful it is that the Drinkify entry for the Protomen is… a Bud Light. While I’ve been known to drink whatever shitty beer is available when the occasion calls for it, I figured we could do better than that… This has been a favorite cocktail of mine for a while, and I have served it to both K.I.L.R.O.Y. and the Reanimator with good results.”

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.  Photography by The Drunken Moogle.
