Potion of Extreme Stamina
This is a Skyrim-inspired potion I came up with for those days when you just need a little boost, when you’re having trouble keeping up, and you just can’t make those power attacks anymore.
- one part lavender - one part Douglas fir needles (or cedar, or pine, depending on your location. just be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you know the species you are taking needles from of you collect them yourself, and make very sure that they are safe to ingest) - one part spearmint - one cinnamon stick - one part green tea blend of choice for flavor - one part honey
(Measurements for a mug of potion. If making a large batch, double up ingredients. The large batch I made was about three cups after boil and simmer.)
Boil the amount of water you need, then add the ingredients. Let boil for one minute, then simmer covered for five minutes. When finished, strain into container of choice. Wait to cool, then take a swig and enjoy a stamina regen.
Drink recipe: Hungarian Zen Master
1/2 oz Spiced Rum, 1 oz Jagermeister, over ice. Fill with root beer. Om.
GROWN-UP EGGNOG
Everyone has their recipe for 21-and-over eggnog. Here’s mine. Now, you can make the eggnog homemade if you want — that recipe is pretty standard, though there are some variations. The one I’ll put forward is this: 4 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy...
I've made almost all of these at my home bar, get-togethers with friends... the Chocolate Cake is a cheat and missing a vital ingredient... the Pineapple Upside Down Cake needs revised... the Baby Guinness works better and tastes better with Kahlua instead of Patron XO... unless you find a very high gravity orange liqueur for the Irish Flag, I recommend going with Irish whiskey instead, tinged orange with a drop of grenadine stirred in... and the Buttery Nipple / Slippery Nipple is done to best effect with a tricky layering effect in a wine glass.

JACKTHORN'S "IRISH FLAG" SHOTS
Orange Whiskey mixture: Your favorite Irish whiskey (Jameson, Bushmills, Redbreast, whatever) with a drop or two of Grenadine. Stir until the hue is right.
In tall clear double-shot glasses, layer green Creme De Menthe, then Irish Cream, then the orange whiskey mixture. The order is important, because higher gravity liquids float on lower gravity ones.
Layering is best done over the rounded back of a small spoon, or teaspoon, or melon baller. Pour the second and third liqueurs over the tool, slowly and steadily, so they don't mix. Ideally the liquid should hit the rounded tool and spread over it, but the tool should be tilted down to touch the side of the glass, so the liquid hits the side of the glass and is further slowed.
Any questions?
JACKTHORN ZOMBIES RECIPE
Drinking Zombies tonight. Transitions. Life to death, but from death, life. What had seemed dead may well be rising. Is it a monster to be feared, or the riding of a sacred power in fleshly clothing? Sons leave the homes of their fathers. Loves die, loves are born. Childhood is sprained and tested and traumatized. Strength is summoned too soon. Hearts ride on music, and spirits, and warming nights. Cool breezes in windows that had long been closed. Thorns and brambles, long roads, summer nights. The sweet ecstatic creeping of divinity over my bewildered and adoring tongue.
JackTHorn Zombies Over ice, mix: 1 oz lime juice 2 oz apple juice 1 dash grenadine 1 dash peach schnapps 1 oz dark rum 1 oz coconut rum 1 oz Sailor Jerry spiced rum 4 oz pineapple juice Then top with a green maraschino cherry, a red one, and a big chunk of fresh cut pineapple, all impaled on a toothpick. Lose your brains.
Shot: IRISHMAN ON ACID
1 oz of your favorite Irish Whiskey 1/4 oz Irish Cream 1/4 oz Jager Spice (also good over ice)
