There are many raunchy and over the top named drinks these days that are titled for the sake of a laugh or some kind of reaction, but if we tone it down and get creative we can assemble a variety of drinks that may bring about nostalgic memories from our adolescence. Pokemon, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Metroid and Disney themed drinks are sure to entertain gamers and the young-at-heart.
Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
The object of this drinking game is to name the seven dwarfs; if one is unable to, then they must drink the dwarf they forgot and then finish it off by drinking Snow White. Beware! If the drinker should fall into a deep slumber, true loves kiss will have no effect.
Ingredients:
Happy – Tequila shot
Dopey – White rum shot
Grumpy – Vodka shot
Doc – Whiskey shot
Sneezy – Brandy shot
Bashful – Dark rum shot
Sleepy – Absinthe
Snow White – 1 shot of Kahlua, 2 shots of Bailey’s Irish Cream and 2 shots of vodka. Stir and garnish as needed.

Zero Suit Samus & Metroid Cocktails
Zero Suit Samus’ paralyzer is known for stopping her enemies cold. This chilled, sweet and sour fusion will do just the same. Metroids feed on the “life energy” of their prey. Return the favor and have some fun at the same time!
