World of Warcraft Game Fuel Cocktails

Just because we play World of Warcraft doesn’t mean we don’t know how to party!  Recently, while visiting good friends (and guild-mates) in their apartment in Jersey City we were looking through their book of 10,000 mixed drinks. Their collection of mixers and alcohol was formidable, but there was one ingredient in their fridge that I coveted more than any other.

Soda, Mountain Dew in particular is pretty awful stuff normally, but serious gamers know that there is no better drink to help get charged up for a night of battling goblins. Mountain Dew seems to understand this, and has recently launched two limited edition sodas tied into the biggest online game ever, World of Warcraft.  Not only am I sucker for anything with the words “limited” and “edition” on it, but also anything World of Warcraft.

In the game, there are two sides to play on Alliance and Horde. No matter which side a person plays on, they begin to become very attached to it over time, so it was a smart move to make an Alliance-themed and Horde- themed soda. Let the battle of the mixed drinks begin!

The Thrall

This is the drink I created from a modified recipe called a Starseeker. Since I used the Horde version of Game Fuel and serious punch, I named it after the leader of the Horde, Thrall.

2 parts rum
a Splash of Amaretto (best replacement for elf blood)
Fill with Horde Game Fuel
Pour into ice-filled glass

The Booty Bay

Alex grabbed the Alliance Game Fuel. The drink she created is also rum based and as blue as the tropical waters off the coast of our favorite pirate village, so it was given the name The Booty Bay.

2 parts rum
1 part seltzer water
1 part Alliance Game Fuel
Pour into ice-filled glass

After all the rum was gone, we decided regardless of alcohol and our Alliance affiliation, the better of the two sodas was the Horde Game Fuel. Both mixed drinks were tasty in their own way, so give them a try… FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!
