Nerd Rush: By the way, Skyward Sword comes out on Sunday, so it's ZELDA DRINK TIME!

In case any of you guys are planning a soiree to celebrate (I'm not, but I am getting together with a friend to play through it in an EPIC MARATHON on Sunday) here are a few drink suggestions for you, courtesy of The Drunken Moogle. Remember to drink responsibly.



The Triforce 
Ingredients:1 Part Link (dark Rum for courage)
1 Part Zelda (99 Bananas for wisdom)
1 Part Ganon (Goldschlager for power)

Would not recommend drinking before taking on the Water Temple.

1 cl grenadine
1 cl licor 43
1 cl Cassis Bar Sirup (cassis syrup)

Goddess of Courage 
Ingredients:
1 cl vodka
1 cl Xante
1 splash of Bols Blue (blue curacao)
Top with orange juice

10ml Dr. McGillicuddy’s MentholMint Schnapps
20ml Hpnotiq
10ml Vodka

Directions: Place shot glass and all ingredients in the freezer and chill thoroughly. Remove, pour in mentholmint schnapps, mix hpnotiq and vodka and layer on top of schnapps. Down quickly while it’s still cold.





Freezard
Ingredients:
1.5 parts UV Blue Vodka
1.5 parts Lemonade
1 part Mountain Dew “White Out” (limited edition, we don't have this in Canada so try 7-Up instead)

Bombchu 
Ingredients:
1 shot Blue Curacao
1 shot Blueberry Vodka
1 Red Bull

Directions: Pour the Red Bull into a tall glass. Mix in the Blueberry Vodka. Pour a shot of Blue Curacao in a separate shot glass. When ready to drink, drop the shot into the tall glass and drink quickly.




The Master Sword 
Ingredients:
1 shot Gin
1/2 shot Blueberry Vodka
2 shots Blue Raspberry Martini Mix
Smallest Splash of Grenadine

Have a good time this weekend if you're going to spend it playing Skyward Sword, and remember - if you want somebody to blame for your hangover on Monday, blame the Drunken Moogle for this awesome collection of Zelda drinks.
