Touhou-inspired cocktail ideas!
« on: May 17, 2010, 04:17:22 AM »
So based off a remark of Jan's on IRC we ended up trying to figure out what would go into a Tipsy Yuuka (probable decision: elderflower liqueur for floweriness, some fruit, and a hell of a high alcohol content), and I began wondering what would go into cocktails inspired by other Touhou characters.

I decided a Nitori-themed cocktail would definitely have to start with cucumber soda, and then Drake said I should toss this out as a thread over here. Let's have some fun~ :3

I went for something I know actually exists and I can verify is tasty. :V

EDIT: But yeah, just for posterity, I did get the reference~

All I like are fruit juices mixed with vodka, so if I can make a Tipsy Yuuka out of what I would actually drink, so much the better for me. :v

(I'm going to say St Germain, Sour Apple Schnapps, Raspberry liqueur and more vodka than one would normally use. Just so someone can try it.)

-151 Proof Rum
-Choice of energy drink
-Citrus Vodka
-Blue Cura?ao
-Sweet and Sour mix

Tsundere Mokou

Container: Bamboo hollow shoot.

Rockstar 1/2 can
Honey red bull, 1/2 can preferably boiled first.
Bailey's Cream 1 shot.
Dry Vermouth 1/2 shot
Mint Leaves 5 leaves, grinded.
Citrus anything, Vodka etc 1 shot
Lemon/Lime halves

Instructions:
1. Grind mint leaves with a standard Old Fashioned glass. Add 1/2 squeeze lime to the grind to maximize flavor. Save the other half for later. Transfer contents to bamboo shoot or really tall glass.

2. Prepare Boston Shaker with fresh ice, pour vermouth quickly, followed by the citrus alcohol of choice, (this bartender prefers Smirnoff Lemon).

3. Assuming you already boiled your red bull prior, put the Rockstar in and shake well.

4. Strain well and steady into bamboo shoot, as this is a messy way of presentation and without much class, suitable for the binging tsundere immortal who has a crush for the immortal princess of Eientei, it is not recommended for the suave gentleman. (This Bartender prefers a long and tall straight glass)

5. Layer slowly the red bull on top.

6. Layer the Bailey's cream to the top very carefully. To represent the semi sweetness concealing the bittersweet sour tsundere within the drink.

7. As you have half a lemon left, you can choose to use it as a garnish, or simply offer on the small plate, as a side to the customer.


As this drink can be considered complex, please do not frustrate yourself like a certain immortal forest guide attempting to prove something for the sake of nothing to a certain werecow.


To best enjoy this drink, approach a mate, and yell to him or her : "I AM NOT TSUNDERE, I-I-I-IT IS NOT LIKE-E-E I WANTED TO DRINK THIS!" and then chew on lemon/lime wedge, and down the bloody thing. Sip if you prefer to see the pretty drink mix into a muddy color of red brown liquid.

I know almost nothing about alcohol or making mixed drinks, but someone needs to come up with a Seven-Colored Puppeteer drink. Maybe like seven different fruit juices involved?

How about drinks that actually resemble the characters in appearance to some degree?
Like float some sunflower petals in the Tipsy Yuuka or something XD

That actually sounds pretty neat. Bonus points if someone makes this and posts pictures.  :V

I randomly thought about this, but how would using plum wine with something sound for Yuyuko?
Except I'm stuck on ideas on what to put with plum wine since it's already so sweet...
What I have in stock:this and the Gekkeikan brand.
Also, something that involves Nigori sake for Letty.
I hear that the one called "silky" from shouchikubai is quite good.

As far as appearance goes here are some that I can think of at the moment:

Patchouli- Lemon rind cut into moon shape on rim of cup.  Drink should be purple
Yukari- I had an idea that you would drop in some dark food coloring or some dark heavy drinkable liquid into the drink just before serving, that way you would have a kind of shifting elegant look to the fluid.  Also, little Yukari parasol in the drink would be fabulous, maybe a red bow tied around the neck of the glass.
Yuyuko- Would love to either see her fan sitting in the middle of the drink, or have a sour sugar butterfly sitting in the center or on the rim.  Also, cherry blossoms in the drink itself.  Would be cool if you could figure out how to get mist to rise from it.
Yumemi- It should have some kind of strawberry flavor with a strawberry on the rim impaled by a little red cross.
Rin Satsuki- Just don't fill the glass Red drink with full cherries (2?) resting at the bottom.

That's all I can think of atm, I want to try to make some of these :D

Having the drink look like the character was sort of what I was trying to do with Lunatic Princess. The blur curacao and pomegranite juice would make a nice purple color, and the wedge of Asian pear would look like a crescent moon.

Flandre could have a "Cranberry Trap". Maybe find a way to might a light colored drink with cranberry flavor and drop some cranberries in the bottom. You could also decorate the glass with some kind of colored crystals to mimic her wings.

@PrismYoshi

Seven colored puppeteer would be and amzing drink.  Could be pulled off with differently weighted juices.  Experimentation needed....
