Title: Touhou-inspired cocktail ideas!
Post by: Shizumarashi Mayuzumi 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 (http://www.stgermain.fr/) 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 (http://www.drysoda.com/flavor-cucumber.php), and then Drake said I should toss this out as a thread over here. Let's have some fun~ :3

You should drink cucumber-flavored beer?~

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.)

Journeyman Spark (hee purvis)
-151 Proof Rum
-Choice of energy drink
-Citrus Vodka
-Blue Cura?ao
-Sweet and Sour mix
*Rim it with your choice flavor of Pop Rocks :3

Tsundere Mokou

Container: Bamboo hollow shoot.

Rockstar (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jTPTE1cUL._SS500_.jpg) 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.

Like float some sunflower petals in the Tipsy Yuuka or something XD

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 (http://www.choya.co.jp/products/umeshu/special/) and the Gekkeikan brand.
Also, something that involves Nigori sake (http://www.gekkeikan.co.jp/products/lineup/type07.html) 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.

Post by: RainfallYoshi on May 22, 2010, 12:36:24 AM
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.

Monster Cucumber (Nitori cocktail)
Ingredients:
4 oz. cucumber soda
1.5 oz. blue curacao

Directions: Combine ingredients in a glass with ice and squeeze green gel candy onto the inside of the glass.  Garnish with a slice of cucumber and enjoy.  Try to drink it slowly to allow the candy sliding down to steadily dissolve and leave a hint of sour apple near the end.

Whoah, that Nitori tasted pretty awesome (inexpensive, too). There was still sour stuff at the bottom of my glass when I finished, but that was easily scooped up by the cucumber and curiously om chom chom'ed, which resulted in an...interesting flavor.  :V Neat idea!

My apologies, then.  How should I go about this now that the deed is done.  Since I'll be posting more ideas I have in the works and because now I'm in some sort of purgatory where I'm not sure if starting a whole new thread will cause a disturbance or not.

just to stay on topic somewhat~~  Currently using an idea from a Marisa cocktail posted earlier by rimming the glass with pop rocks.  I don't know how well that's going to work out and I still need to find a nice mixture for it.  Only for sure parts so far are the bottom of the glass will have konpeito candies and it will be called Stardust Reverie just to keep up a theme of spell cards = booze.  Also have somewhat of a start on a Master Spark but the alcohol I have lined up so far for it don't taste any good :/

Stardust Reverie
Igredients:
6 oz. Raspberry Soda (Hansen's)
2 oz. Pink Lemonade Vodka
1 dash Grenadine
1 dash Peach Pucker (optional)
Raspberry and Strawberry flavored Pop Rocks
Konpeito Star Candies

Directions:
Rim a glass with raspberry and strawberry pop rocks.  Pour chilled raspberry soda into the glass.  Shake vodka and grenadine (adding optional peach pucker for a tangier fruit taste) with ice and pour onto soda.  Place 5-10 Konpeito candies into mixture and garnish with a slice of star fruit.

"Concentrate your mind.  Mutter the spell to the drink tenderly.  Serve to someone you like.  Unleash your annihilation of love!"

This is a very tangy and fruity drink.  I like it but the effort it takes is a lot more than Monster Cucumber.

A note about Suika's drink.
Missing Purple Power
1-2 shots Sizzurp or Purple Rain
1 can Dr pepper

Drop the shot(s) into a glass filled with Dr Pepper and down.  Where did the power (alcohol) go?  You'll taste it, that's for sure.

Don't know about that, i might try it in the next week.
