Joy to the World

Happy Holidays from Offworlders Publishing! I want to take this moment to thank you for supporting Offworlders, and I hope you have a day filled with peace and happiness. For Christmas this year I got you a rather cool Star Trek parody from The Carol Burnett show that I find incredibly amusing. Did she nail the Kirk speech mannerism or what?

We have a lot of plans for Offworlders in 2017. Stay tuned! And, as always, Stay frosty my friends!

 

Offworlders Publishing wishes everyone a fantastic 2016!

May you and your loved ones maintain their health, find success in all their ventures, live a stress-free life full of happiness, and above all consume as much Sci-Fi as possible!

Looking for some unique drinks for your New Year’s Eve Party? Are you a Sci-Fi / Mass Effect Fan? Why not serve some drinks developed to match the unique personality traits of Mass Effect’s Band of Brothers? The good folks at Save Game put out a list of drinks a few year’s back that continues to fuel the Bioware faithful. Here is the drink I plan to make on New Year’s Eve:

Recipe for Eternity – Morinth

1 oz Tequila (the older the better)
1/2 oz Hpnotiq
1/3 oz Parfait Amour
Fill with Pineapple Juice

“Look into my eyes and tell me you want me. Tell me you’d kill for me. Anything I want.” ~Morinth

OK, so I am not much of a drinker these days, so I don’t imagine I will drink more than a few! The motto for this drink is “Embrace Eternity and risk never waking up again.” I do plan on waking up the next day so easy does it! Check out the complete list of Mass Effect themed drinks here: Save Game’s Mass Effect Squadmate cocktails: The best drinks this side of the Citadel.

The only complaint in the comments section was the lack of a recipe for the Krogan drink Ryncol, and no drink for the character Joker. I did not locate a Joker cocktail, but here is one I unearthed for Ryncol on The Drunken Moogle:

Recipe for Ryncol:
1 oz absinthe
1 oz grain alcohol
1 dash blue curacao

Methinks I will stay clear of this one! The Drunken Moogle links to the video below to illustrate what happened to Shepard when he slammed a shot of the booze that purportedly will “set off radiological alarms after you drink it.” Ryncol makes its appearance towards the end of the clip so you need to hang in there to witness the impact. The Moogle attaches the following warning to the drink: “Warning: DON’T take this drink lightly. It is extremely potent, just as in the game. As always, be responsible when consuming alcohol, especially this cocktail.”
