Game of Thrones-Themed Cocktails for Fans

Countless millions have found their escape in the world of *Game of Thrones*. It’s a universe that offers an amalgamation of politics, war, and deep characters. The North is cold, Dorne is hot, the show has been full of memorable events and even features a fanbase that is passionate to the point they want to embody every aspect of both Westeros and Essos. There are plenty of interesting things to do in the Game of Thrones universe, and one of them is to attend themed parties and especially try cocktails that are designed in the spirit and location of the show—Game of Thrones-themed cocktails.

Be it the mass slaughter in the famous “Red Wedding” or Daenerys Targaryen's rise to power, every sequence tells you something that can be strengthened in part by drinking *Game of Thrones*-inspired beverages. Making them is not just about mixing some beverages with a few ingredients. It’s about embodying the specific character as well as the world’s history containing Seven Kingdoms and a bunch of events that make *Game of Thrones* worth remembering.

This article will also consider the ways in which one can come up with such thematic drinks, which will make every party look like it’s straight from a *Game of Thrones* episode. It is not just characters the drinks represent—they are a symbol of the Seven Kingdoms, and every gulp brings the fans closer to the storyline.

Collecting Thematic Ideas from Westeros and Other Lands

In order to come up with cocktails for the fans of *Game of Thrones*, one must know of the different people, geography, and culture that exists within this fascinating universe. The lands of Westeros are populated and the weather varies from the snow-laden North to the green pastures of the Reach. This kind of diversity will definitely have an impact on ideally how one would create a drink for a particular region.

For example, the cold North of House Stark would be best suited with thick and bold flavors. On the contrary, how about a *Winterfell Old Fashioned* cocktail that combines whiskey with a hint of cinnamon and captures both the cold and fierce spirit of the Stark family? The opposite can be said for the sun-filled Dorne. The inhabitants are known to be passionate and so a bright cocktail filled with citrus, such as a pomegranate and gin cocktail called *Dornish Fizz*, would be more favorable there.

Ingredients that Embrace the Westeros Region

If you want to experience *Game of Thrones*, you have to be tactical with your ingredients. Think about the history of their respective houses and, more importantly, the political culture that defines the drink. For the savage Free Folk beyond the Wall, it would be interesting to create some form of cocktail that expresses the steep and mean atmosphere of the wild.

The North, which is governed by House Stark, is provably populated with the dark spirits like whiskey and scotch. For example, a *Winterfell Cocktail* may comprise whiskey that is integrated with a hint of spices and perhaps maple syrup that would closely reflect the area’s affinity with the forests and cold winters. The Lannisters, as rich and powerful, would prefer a more classy drink such as a *Cersei’s Gold Martini* with golden liqueurs like Grand Marnier or Gold Vodka, perhaps with a twist of lemon.

Essos with the Dothraki and the old town of Braavos provides an opportunity to try out the spices and ingredients not found in Westeros. A beverage called a *Braavosi Sour*, combining rum, lemon, and a hint of bitters, may take one to the narrow sea and also bring out the vibrance and culture of the inhabitants of the region.

Cocktail Recipes to Match the Theme From Game of Thrones

We want to help you reach your goal by providing you with some drinks that resemble the universe of *Game of Thrones*.

1. The Dragon’s Breath

For all Daenerys Targaryen worshipers, *The Dragon’s Breath* cocktail explains her spirit very well. A cinnamon whiskey base, a splash of ginger beer on top, and a hint of lime juice: it's all she needs to get captivated. The strong wind of the drink is matched by the Mother of Dragons' hot temper, and the taste can't be forgotten just like Daenerys.

2. The King’s Landing Cocktail

King's Landing, first of all, is the capital of trickery, manipulation, and awfulness. Appropriately, a drink drawing from its source should be as complex as the politics that occur there. A *King's Landing Cocktail* consists of gin, elderflower liqueur, champagne, and orange bitters.

3. The Night’s Watch

The Night's Watch has many thongs and can be fond of drinks that best portray the nature of the North. A *Night’s Watch Cocktail* could include dark rum with a splash of cola and garnished with mint. Dark rum represents the life Beyond the Wall, while the cola counteracts the coldness of the area with a sense of warmth.

4. The Dothraki Mule

Because of their way of life, the Dothraki warriors would appreciate a drink with a fierce kick. A *Dothraki Mule* mixes vodka, ginger beer, and a dash of lime juice to create a pleasant flavor. Ginger beer adds the spicy touch to the cocktail, and vodka provides the strength and straightforwardness of the Dothraki culture.

5. The Red Wedding Sangria

The *Red Wedding* may have left fans in disbelief, but this cocktail takes its inspiration from it and exists in all its bold beauty. The *Red Wedding Sangria* combines red wine, brandy, and mixed berries, which gives it a sweet and rich taste. The various berries represent the massacres that took place during this event, which the wine further complicates and broadens.
