♫ This is Halloween, this is Halloween, pumpkins scream in the dead of night ♫ I genuinely consider The Nightmare Before Christmas to be both a Halloween and Christmas film. How many other films could it possibly share that with? Not only that, but it’s a great film so boom, there, said it. Anyway, moving […]

Mini Mojito
Being a fan of mint and lime, the mojito was naturally always going to be a happy drink for me; alas, my husband doesn’t like mint AT ALL, so the drinks with it in at Geek & Tonic HQ are few and far between. Fortunately, my friend and I were playing an Until Dawn drinking […]
Terry’s Delight
This is a homebrew recipe from the bar of Geek & Tonic and an ode to one of our favourite chocolates – the humble Terry’s Chocolate Orange. In all honesty, when I mixed this shot I never expected it to taste identical to Terry’s Chocolate Orange. In fact, when I made it I was already […]

Alien Brain Hemorrhage

Plus, it’s a […]
The Trespasser
One little thing that me and my fiancé enjoy doing together is creating themed drinks. Every year, when we watch the E3 Expo, we usually do an E3 Bingo for every major conference which covers the typical clichés like ‘EMOTIONAL JOURNEY’ and ‘AWKWARD SPORTS PERSONALITY APPEARS ON STAGE’. This year however, having limited expectations for […]
