How to Recover From a Hangover: Video Game Drinks

I don't know about you, but St. Patrick's Day knocked me on my ass. I heard somewhere that the best hangover cure is to just keep on drinking.... That advice might have come from an alcoholic gamer forcing his way through Final Fantasy 8, but I think he's onto something. 

The Drunken Moogle specializes in all things alcohol and video game related. So if you're looking for that perfect cocktail to help you forget about all the green beer and bad decisions from the night before, here's my current favorite recipe.

Golden Chocobo

 Ingredients:

1/2 shot of Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps Liqueur
1/2 shot of Wild Turkey’s American Honey
1 Can of 
Ginger Ale

Directions: Shake the American Honey and Goldschlager and pour into an Irish coffee glass.  Add the ginger ale until the glass is full and then stir to mix up the gold particles.

Goldschlager and Wild Turkey's American Honey? Gag! This sounds horrible. I thought Goldschlager was off the cocktail menu once you reached a *certain age.* (As in after college.)

American Honey isn't that bad as a liqueur. Mix it with some lemonade and some ice and blend it up and it makes a damned fine hard lemonade.

I bet the Goldschlager is purely there for the color/flakes and the ginger ale wipes out the taste of it.

Yeah, I'm with Jason on this one. Goldschlager -- yuck. There are some other recipes on this site though that sound much better if you read back through the older pages.

I am intrigued by and terrified of Goldschlager. Some day I will finally try it. The American Honey and Ginger Ale is what appeals most about this recipe.

Am I old fashioned to just stick with the classic bloody mary hangover remedy?  Goldschlager also weirds me out.  That's an awesome site, though; thanks for passing it along.

@Christian My dad, brother, and I like to golf early in the morning. We head out to the first hole with Bloody Marys.

Wow, pretty much all of the drinks on that site look disgusting...and yet I still want to try them for the novelty.

OK, we're getting off-topic here, but I can't resist: Do any of you get in the mood to just have cocktails based on color? Sometimes, when I got have a drink or two, I just drink by color. Bartenders look weirdly at you when you ask for their best drink that's blue.

@Jason: Haha, can't say I've ever done that, but I have bought beer based on packaging. Earlier this week I bought this incredibly expensive four-pack of Monk's Blood because it came in a fancy little box: http://beerobsessed.com/blog/?p=1245

I mostly pick my drinks based on the quantity of whiskey in them.

Old fashioned enough for ya? :P

@Adam I enjoy a nice glass of Jameson's or Middleton's

@Jason At E3 lets go bar hopping and only drink Pink mix drinks.

Thanks for the link to The Drunken Moogle, Jasmine. I think I might try out their Metroid cocktail this weekend.
