‘Pokemon’ in your ‘Fallout’, and in your shot glass as well

Matt Hawkins Contributing Writer, Video Games

Fun-fact: those cute and cuddly pocket monsters are, in fact, both terrifying and refreshing in the real world.

First up is a mod for Fallout: New Vegas which adds Pokemon to the mix. But these are the same ones that Ash kid hangs with, that’s for damn sure…

… It’s funny how a simple change in art style will make one realize what the game has been all about since day one: “Holy sh*t, that kid’s making a giant scorpion fight a fire breathing lizard!!!”

Anyhow, to calm down one’s nerves, here’s a good site to check out: The Drunken Moogle. It’s a Tumblr that’s dedicated to alcoholic beverages that ares inspired by vide games. Take the following three, Pokemon inspired shots and cocktails…

Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard (Pokemon Cocktails)

Ingedients:

1 oz Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
.5 oz Bacardi 151

2 splash of scotch

Fill with ginger ale

Directions:
For the Charmander shot, pour a slash of grenadine into the bottom of a shot glass. Add the Fireball, then top with the Bacardi 151. Light it on fire, then extinguish before drinking.

For the Charmeleon cocktail, mix all the alcoholic ingredients and then pour over ice in a lowball glass. Top with ginger ale.

For the Charizard drink, Mix all of the alcoholic ingredients, pour into a highball glass and top with ginger ale. If you plan on lighting the Charizard on fire, add the Bacardi 151 last, after the ginger ale, on top of everything else. As always, be careful with flames and don’t try to drink flaming cocktails while still on fire! Fire burns people and stuff and faces.

These drinks scream fire, from the cinnamon punch, to the smoky scotch aftertaste. Get your team ready and go hit up Cinnabar Island. This night is for fire!
