I considered a lot of options for the first video game review on the site. Do I go for something classic like Deus Ex, or a personal favourite like Mass Effect or Dragon Age, or something that i’m currently playing like Divinity 2: Original Sin? All of the above are great options, but I went […]

Between the Sheets
Okay, so this is another post which has a bit of a story to it, so just bear with me and/or skip to the recipes if that’s how you’re feeling today. As you may have noticed, there are 2 different, but slightly similar, recipes at the bottom of the page together with 2 different, but […]
Crimson
Having recently began a love affair with port it felt like high time that I found some cocktails to incorporate it into and where better to start than with the Crimson. Both visually striking and delicious, the Crimson cocktail – which, as you can see from the image below, is aptly named – uses the […]
Bahama Mama
Oh, Bahama Mama. Where do I even begin? I could use all the adjectives in the world to describe this cocktail, but i’ll just settle for one: sublime.

There are some drinks that are packed out with fruit juices and other mixers to make them lighter and less intensive, and then there are drinks like the Casablanca that are not afraid to give you a firm smack around the chops and celebrate the beauty of alcohol.

Volcano
We might be out of the festive season, but this recipe is a good way to use up any leftover champagne or prosecco you might have stashed away in the fridge, that is if you were brave enough not to drink it all over Christmas. The Volcano is a refreshing pick-me-up type of cocktail, which […]
Tootsie Roll
Part of the Christmas tradition in the Geek & Tonic household is that the last Friday of the Christmas break is reserved for a wild night of random shot making at home before inevitably falling asleep on the couch in our pj’s and dressing gowns, listening to whatever Spotify deigns to play us. This year […]
Mexican Fizz
Tequila. Here we are again. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you my feelings on tequila – again – as they’re now so well documented that future generations will one day remember me in the annals of history as ‘She Who Is Bizarrely Opinionated About Tequila’. Suffice it to say, it is NOT […]
