July 14, 2011 | Scrollbar @ IT University of Copenhagen

banner

Scrollbar hosts the official weekly Fredagsbar (Friday Bar) of IT University of Copenhagen. In March 2011, we made a Duke Nukem; after that we needed a little break to come up with new ideas (which I did, Mike, in the summer). On the 14th of July 2011, Mike (ed.) was in Jutland during the summer, got bored and invented some Legend of Zelda drinks. Finally Hell has frosen and Pigs could fly, as the long awaited Duke Nukem Forever would be released in Juni. To celebrate that Mike (ed.) came up with new cocktails that would make the Duke proud.

We pooled our vast knowledge of mixing and alcohols (this is Denmark, after all) to craft nine unique Duke Nukem-theme drinks.

The most popular ones were Shake it, Baby! and the Nuke. But all our recipes were very well-received. We encourage you to give them a try - but please credit us if you do!

Also check out the other game cocktails:

(Note: "cl" stands for centiliter. Two cl approximately equals one "shot")

:Note 12-06 2010: A lot of people have been visiting the youtube tutorials for the drinks, which Mike (ed.) have made. It has been decided that the cocktails should have their own youtube kanal, so here is the link: Game Cocktails

Cocktails

Zelda

Zelda "Virgin"

"Link...Can you hear me? It's me, Zelda..."

Glass:
HighBall

Garnish:
None

Shaken

  • 1 cl Monin Elderflower
  • 1 cl Monin Ginger
  • 1 cl Monin Spicy
  • 4 cl Cranberry Juice

Directions:

Shake all ingredients with ice. Pour into Ice-filled Glass.

Notes:

Zelda normally has a red / pink dress so the colour was already decided. In comparison to Princess Peach from Mario, I have the feeling that Zelda is more independent and that is why i chose to have ginger and spicy in the drink. Mix Zelda with Goddess of Wisdom to create Sheik.

 

Young Link "Virgin"

"....."

Glass:
Highball Glass

Garnish:
None

  • 1 cl Monin Cucumber
  • 1 cl Monin Honey

  • 5 cl Apple Juice

 

Directions:

Shake all ingredients with ice. Pour into Ice-filled Glass

Notes:
With this drink green was the colour to use. Furthermore i found that a combination of cucumber, honey and Pistachio is real good

Directions:

Notes:
As Ganondorf is evil I chose to not make this an "virgin" drink. I also chose the Sambuca for the colour of his soul. The Rum and the Grand Marnier gave good balance to the anis taste from the Sambuca

  • 1 cl Monin Ginger
  • top up with Sake

Directions:

Notes:
The Master Sword had to be very strong, so I took inspiration in the "Ice teas" again. (like with the "Mothership" in the Starcraft theme). I manage to make this even stronger and if mix correctly one can only taste lemonade. If one wants more alcohol into the drink, exchange the "Monin Lychee" with a Lychee Liqueur.
