Mixology Monday: Drink Nerdy

9/2/2016

13 Comments

 
Picture

The thing that unites everyone who participates in MxMo is our love of of cocktails. We love the history, the alchemy, the artistry, and of course the drinking. Loads of us go to conventions, collect memorabilia, read books about all manner of boozy subjects, and tour distilleries like they're sacred places. One might say, we're nerds.

I say, what else are you nerdy for?

For the purposes of this challenge I'm going to define a nerdy pursuit as: anything from or related to science, science fiction, fantasy, video games, role playing games/characters, or comics. Come up with a cocktail that celebrates or is inspired by a nerdy thing you love. A cosmo variation for Neil deGrasse Tyson? The perfect sip for Sarah and her Goblin King to share? A beer based cocktail for that barbarian you played in your college D&D game? Star Trek? Anything you are enthusiastic about. And since the best part of being nerdy is sharing that enthusiasm with others, tell us about the thing you're drawing your inspiration from. 

​I can't wait to see what else we have in common.

Here's how to play:

  • Find or concoct a recipe that captures one of your nerdy interests, and include a photo and your remarks, on your blog, tumblr, or website. If you lack one of those, feel free to post on eGullet’s Spirits and Cocktails forum.
  • Include the MxMo logo in your post plus links back to the Mixology Monday and The Shrubbery sites. Once the roundup post is put up, updating your post to include a link to that one as well would be appreciated.
  • Submit your link as a comment on the announcement post by the end of August 19th.

Shouldn't that deadline in the last bullet point be in the future? :-)
