Drink Up, Me Hearties!

It's no secret that pirates like their booze. However, it might be a little less-known that us geeks like to have a roaring good time now and then, and for that I've collected a few fun drink recipes for your next geeky shindig:

Sonic Screwdriver:

70% Sobe orange energy drink

20% vodka (orange or banana flavored optional)

10% 99 Bananas (99 proof banana schnapps)

Directions: combine ingredients and prepare to blast off in the TARDIS. Warning: DON'T BLINK!

Sereni-tea:

1 oz Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka

3/4 oz Captain Morgan’s Original Spiced Rum

3/4 oz silver tequila

3/4 oz gin

1 oz sour mix

Sweet Tea

Coca-cola

Lemon

Directions: Shake all ingredients, except for the sweet tea and cola, with ice and pour in a highball glass. Top off with an even mix of cola and sweet tea and garnish with a lemon wedge. Toast the Independents in an Alliance-friendly bar on U-Day and be a big damn hero.

Borg Queen:

1 oz Smirnoff Green Apple Twist Vodka

1 oz Dekuyper Apple Pucker Apple Schnapps

1 oz 99 Apples Apple Schnapps

Splash Sweet & Sour Mix

Directions: In a shaker cup, combine all ingredients with ice. Shake gently, then strain into a chilled Martini glass. For garnish, you can add apple-flavored sugar to the rim of the glass. Assimilation is inevitable, resistance is futile.

Millennium Falcon:

1 shot cinnamon schnapps

1 shot rum

1 shot Jagermeister

Directions:  Pour a shot of each into a glass and punch it.

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster:

1 oz Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey

1 oz peach schnapps

4 - 6 oz orange juice

1 splash Blue Curacao liqueur

Directions: Shake the orange juice, the Jack and the peach schnapps in a shaker 3/4 full with ice cubes. When it's chilled, strain into the highball glass and drizzle some of the blue Curacao liqueur over the top of it. Add a citrus twist and, bizarrely, an olive if you're a DNA purist. The answer is 42 and be sure to have your towel handy.

The (Full) Monty Python:

1 part Bourbon

1 part Vodka

Top up Lemonade

Directions: Mix the vodka and bourbon into the lemonade. Steer clear of Camelot: 'tis a silly place.

Captain Jack Sparrow:

1 1/2 oz Bacardi 151 rum

2 oz Captain Morgan Original spiced rum

2 oz Southern Comfort peach liqueur

9 oz pineapple juice

Directions: Empty a 16 ounce bottle and add 6 ice cubes to it. Add the Bacardi 151 rum, Captain Morgan Original spiced rum, Southern Comfort and pineapple juice. Leave enough room at the top for the foam when you shake it up. Shake until ice cubes are pretty much melted and serve. May be served on ice if desired. Savvy?

Moaning Myrtle:

2 ounces Champagne

1 ounce vodka

2 ounces white grape juice

Purple sugar

Optional: Dry Ice

Directions: Pour a small amount of grape juice onto a plate and a small amount of purple sugar on a different plate. Dip the rim of the glass in the juice and then in the sugar until the rim is coated. Add vodka, white grape juice, and ice to a martini shaker and shake until chilled. Pour into the martini glass and add the chilled champagne. For a ghostly effect, add a small piece of dry ice. Don't attempt a trip to Diagon Alley afterward.

Shire Flower:

3 ounces Purity Vodka

3/8 ounce elderflower liqueur

3/8 ounce lemon juice

1 bar spoon apricot preserves
