thetadoctor: Sherlock Holmes and John Watson cocktails
Sherlock
Ingredients:
1 oz. Top Shelf Vodka (We’re talking about Sherlock. Try Grey Goose or Belvedere)
1 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice
1/2 oz Blue Curacao
Directions: Use a chilled stemmed glass. This drink would look smooth in a Martini Glass. Pour the ingredients in the glass in order. When you add the Blue Curacao, you’ll notice the color smoke into purple. Ah, Science. Optional Cherry Garnish, but don’t over do it. The body is just transport.
The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!

John Watson
Ingredients:
1/2 oz Light Rum
1/2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Gin
1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Triple Sec
Orange Juice
Orange Wheel
Directions: The Glass doesn’t matter too much, you’re not trying to show off. Try a stein type shown here, or a Collins Glass. Shake the alcoholic ingredients with ice and strain into the glass. Fill with Orange Juice. You’re allowed to feel fancy, Float some Grand Marnier if you’d like. Add Orange Wheel. The idea is to let them think that you’re innocent, then you can unexpectedly kick them in the face.
Now people will definitely talk.

The Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot cocktail)
Ingredients
1 (peeled) Fuyu Persimmon
1 1/2 oz. Gin
Dash of cinnamon
A pinch of Unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions: Muddle one entire fuyu persimmon, add gin and a dash of cinnamon. Add ice. Shake well and strain through a wire mesh strainer. Top with a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder.
A note from the creator:
Fuyu persimmons are in season generally around October through December. They are very sweet with a taste that is somewhere between pumpkin and pear. The subtle sweetness goes really well with a dry gin. The cocoa powder ties it all together. I guess you could even say it’s a Coco Bandicoot.

Blue and Red Materia Cocktails from Artnia
Last December, Square Enix opened up a cafe in Japan called Artnia. Among the many themed foods and drinks are cocktails base on Final Fantasy VII’s materia. Each drink contains a mixture of gin and lime juice along with an ingredient frozen into a sphere to represent the magical crystals. Blue materia is frozen blue curacao and red materia is frozen creme de cassis.
