The “Revali’s Gale” is a light summer style drink, with refreshing flavor that will elevate you to new heights. For that reason I decided to do a riff on the classic Mojito. Thinking about it more and more I wanted to also incorporate some mint to reflect the tall mountains and snow shown in the game. It had to be green, light, airy, and in a tall glass. Specifically using Grey Goose vodka to mimic the Rito (bird-like race) and the regional wheat flavor (wheat vodka) I played with various iterations of a mix of flavors to get the desired color and flavor. For this original cocktail I wanted to play with both the visuals of the power and the flavors of the game’s region. Revali’s Gale lets you glide upward with a gust of wind, making it easier to traverse mountains. I’ve been off and on returning to my “wandering around” in the game Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and I was struck with inspiration on the 4 “powers” you get in the game (Incoming SPOILERS). With alcohol taste rating at 6.5/10 “It was my pleasure.” Leave it out and you get a more well balanced cocktail that’s less sweet and more “rounded.” New overall rating at 8/10. UPDATE 2019: This drink actually doesn’t need the orgeat syrup. Squeeze remaining lemon wedge over drink and drop it in. Strain into prepared glass over a single cherry (keep stem on). Shake whiskey, curacao, gin, syrup, and brandy together with ice. Prepare a cocktail glass by rimming the edge with a lemon wedge and coating in sugar. Outside of that it’s a fun novelty for an evening, but nothing special enough for a regular cocktail. If you’re throwing a game themed party this might be a great choice for you. It’s not the best cocktail in the world, but it’s a great representation of the theme with a solid drink behind it. The drink starts with a cool and sweet flavor which moves to a sweet citrus, then finally finishes with a slight burn of apple, lemon, and cherry/berry. The aroma is a neutral citrus and sweet, with a hint of apple on the back end. With a deep blue/green color and select lemon, cherry, and sugar garnishes this cocktail is a beauty in it’s presentation and it’s taste. In the game this power-up brings you back from the brink of death with the power of the Water Champion Mipha! I wanted to do a whiskey based drink for this particular cocktail as whiskey comes from Gallic meaning “water of life,” which is the perfect definition for this cocktail and the power in the game. Continuing my journey into Zelda: Breath of the Wild Cocktails, I present Mipha’s Grace. Sometimes I’m just inspired and two original cocktails back to back area clear indication when something is going right. (Optionally add the boiled rosemary springs into the syrup for further maturation of flavor) Refrigerate once cool. Stir until dissolved and pour into a clean glass jar. Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups of sugar. *Rosemary Simple Syrup – Boil 1 cup of water with 2 large springs of rosemary for 5 minutes. If you’re less of a vodka fan and want to push the juniper flavor out more, I’d highly suggest trying the same recipe with a London Dry Gin such as Bombay or Beefeater!ġ/4 oz Blue Curacao (Increase to 1/2 if you want it bluer) Either way this is a very easy drinking cocktail for your seasonal parties. If you opt for a different vodka, you’ll likely get a little more burn on the back end. If you go with a potato vodka (vs wheat like Absolut or a corn like Titos) you’ll get smooth refreshing start, which quickly moves to a sweet rosemary and vermouth flavor, and finishes with a slightly sweet and sour citrus from the lime. The palette on first sip is where things get interesting. On the nose you’re greeted with mild citrusy notes. As the name suggests it’s a bright blueish/green cocktail, garnished with a lime wedge for some seasonal green. A stemless cocktail glass makes for a short easy to hold but elegant designed drink. I went through a couple iterations creating the drink, but settled on potato vodka and the highlight special ingredient Rosemary Simple Syrup.īase presentation is key here. The “Blue Christmas” I created specifically for my annual party, and based the color/title off of the old Elvis Presley Song of the same name. Well I decided I better come back for at least once cocktail before the end of the year.
