Commentary from EXPBarOnline: “This week’s drink comes from a game close to the hearts of many Final Fantasy fans. Blood of the Ancients was made in memory of the death of Aeris of Final Fantasy VII; Arguably one of the saddest scenes in game history. So take a drink, and feel the energy of the Life Stream, of the Ancients, of Aeris.

“The last of our TRON themed cocktails. Tron is smooth, citrus-y and all around good. My personal favorite of all three. Tron was Alan Bradly’s home made security program and he fought for the rights of the programs and users alike, in legacy he was brought over to the new system and became Rinzler, and fell into the ISO Ocean and remembered who he was.”

3. Layer on a small amount of Everclear

6. Extinguish flame
7. Drink

Exp Bar Online, the creators of the drink, have this to say about the fireball shot:

Warning: Be careful with flaming shots!!! Fire is dangerous!!!

Okay So i have a love of flaming shots. I don’t quite know why, I imagine it’s my lust for fire. Now this drink was made because I simply wanted to make a new flaming shot. So we started working on one and this is what came from it.

The Hadouken is a CLASSIC fighting game move if there ever was one. This and Shoryuken are the two moves that basically defined the fighting game genre. Every one who grew up on the 8-16 bit genre KNOWS this move. and knows the motion you need to do to make it. We hope you all enjoy this drink.

EXPBarOnline will be posting one Tron themed cocktail a week, for three weeks, starting with CLU.  They explain:

This cocktail is fruity, smooth, sweet, and will keep you refreshed for many cycles.

The Domfather (Gears of War Cocktail)

Ingredients:
1 shot black cherry rum
1 shot Captain Morgan’s rum
1 shot grenadine
Sprite
Lemonade 

Directions:  Mix first three ingredients and pour over ice in a highball or pint glass.  Fill the rest of the glass with half Sprite and half lemonade.  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.  Below is a picture of Ferro/Dom and Fronczek at the bar.

Since the time we posted posted this, Joe, 8 Bit Brandt, and Red Like the Color have started their own geek drink site, called EXPBarOnline.  They recently created a post of their own for the Domfather drink, which can be viewed here.
