Game of Throne Theme Cocktails

If you are an avid Game of Thrones fan like me, everything that even vaguely connects to the show catches your fancy. One thing that we see a lot in the show is alcohol, mostly wine, in various pitchers and flutes, being downed by various characters in plenty. Today, I share some of the Game of Thrones cocktail recipes that can be made easily, and make for a great viewing party or a theme party, or just for fun.

Sources for these recipes include Buzzfeed and Paste Magazine.

Fire and Blood

To make this, you need grenadine, 50 mL of white rum and a splash of your favorite spirit.

Pour the spirit into a glass and swirl it carefully so that the liquid covers the sides of the glass, then pour away the remaining alcohol. Pour a drop of grenadine into the bottom of the glass and then finish by pouring the rum on the top. Set fire to the alcohol before serving.

White walkers are scary, but to make them sweet you need –

Immediately before serving, add in the berries and dice the remaining lime. Serve chilled. However, do not add all the lime all at once, otherwise, the drink turns out to be horribly bitter. Also, don’t add the raspberries too early either.
