LeChuck (Monkey Island cocktail)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Kraken Black Spiced Rum
1 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Stirring’s Blood Orange Bitters
Directions: Mix all ingredients into a rocks glass and stir. Add ice and serve. Drink and go find your undead bride.
Note: Stirring’s Blood Orange Bitters are unlike most bitters in that they are more like a light non-alcoholic juice, so don’t be afraid that the recipe calls for more than a dash.

Green, Red, and Yellow Herbs (Resident Evil shots)
Ingredients:
Green Herb:
1 part Midori
1 part Green Apple Pucker
___
Red Herb:
1 part Grenadine
1 part 5 Hour Energy - Berry flavored
___
Yellow Herb:
1 part Gold rum (Bacardi Gold used)
1 part Honey bourbon (American Honey used)
Directions: For each individual shot, simply mix ingredients in a test tube shot glass. To create herb combinations, mix the shots up in separate glasses, the layer them according to density. Red is the heaviest and will always go on the bottom, Green is the next heaviest, and Yellow is the lightest. For the best effect when layering, make sure all your ingredients are chilled beforehand. Tilt the test tubes and pour the shots in so that they slide down the side of the tube.
Notes: I’ve had the idea for these shots for almost as long as The Drunken Moogle has existed, but refused to do so until I got the proper glassware. I modeled the herbs after my favorite Resident Evil game, Resident Evil 4.
Green- The basic herb. It’s nice nice and soothing.
Red- The catalyst herb. Alone, it will do nothing for you (thus the lack of alcohol and addition of caffeine in this shot), but mix it with a green herb and you’ll get something new.
Yellow- The stat increase herb. This shot won’t increase your overall health, but it’s certainly the strongest herb out of the three shots. Mix it with Green or both Green and Red for a strength boost.

1/2 cup Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
2 oz RumChata rum cream
.5 oz Amaretto
5 Strawberries
4 Ice cubes

“We would be able to provide 250 new beds, get people off the streets and into job training so they could… buy rocket packs and go to the moon and become florists…” - Penny
___
Notes: I had a ton of fun creating these drinks. Two years ago I saw Dr. Horrible on a whim and fell in love with it. I am anxiously awaiting the sequel!
Freeze Ray - To keep with the freezing theme, I wanted to have a drink with lots of ice and a minty flavor.
The Hammer - What is there to say about the Captain Hammer? He’s strong, not too bright, and kind of a wimp without his powers. The Captain Morgan and whiskey make a strong drink, but the peach schnapps reveals a hidden layer under the hardness. Be careful, as this cocktail might be sweet, but it will hit you like a hammer.
Crazy Random Happenstance - I couldn’t make a drink for Penny without including frozen yogurt. I’m very happy with how the glass I used is similar in size and shape to a frozen yogurt cup. This drink is sweet, innocent, and a perfect treat to give to a laundromat buddy.

Godot’s Special Blend #12 (Phoenix Wright cocktail)
Ingredients:
6 oz. Coffee (9-Bit Mega Coffee from Loading used)
1 oz. Cinnamon infused spiced rum
3/4 oz. Irish cream
1 splash Chambord
Directions: Infuse your spiced rum with cinnamon cloves. Make your coffee, preferably fairly strong. In an Irish coffee glass, mix all ingredients and stir.
Spoilers for Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations below.
Godot takes pride in his coffee blends being extremely hot, dark, and bitter. However, he has been known to serve coffee to others with cream and sugar, especially in times they needed comfort. I tried to create a blend that I thought Godot/Diego would mix up for Mia Fey. Though the coffee is strong, the combination of the Irish cream, cinnamon, and the hint of raspberry makes it nice and smooth. The blend is #12, as 2012 is the year Godot/Diego and Mia first met at the Grossberg Law Offices.
