| The Metroid Cocktail: It'll sap your strength |
For many of you, the weekend means drinking. For us, the weekend means video games.
Why not combine them both? After all, they're two good things that go great together.
Gamers have been able to take inspiration from their hobby and apply it to all sorts of amazing creations, so why not drinks? The following is our list of the Top Five Video Game-Inspired Cocktails.
The five drinks below were chosen for their creativity, how well they captured the essence of their inspirational game, and of course, whether or not they sound remotely drinkable.
A big thanks right up front to The Drunken Moogle, a website devoted to all things video game and alcohol related. This list could not exist without you. And with that, on with the drinking!
