Let’s be honest here: Mercutio is tumblr’s baby. If there was a poll on favourite Shakespeare characters, he’d win by a landslide. So we had to make a cocktail for him, but we were also very specific about what we wanted to make it suit the character. It had to contain enough hard alcohol to put you in insta-party mode, but it also had to be pretty damn sweet. It had to give off a joyful and incredibly queer vibe while being colourful as fuck. We pondered and pondered, and then it hit us. Now we proudly present: The Mercutio.
Ingredients:
- Pomegranate juice (red)
- Apricot juice (orange)
- Mango juice (yellow)
- Woodruff syrup (green)
- Powerade “Mountain Blast” sports drink (blue)
- Blackcurrant juice (purple)
- Rhubarb juice (pink)
- 2 cl vodka
- 2 cl Bacardi Razz
- 4 cl Cointreau
Preparation:
Make ice cubes from the various different juices; obviously you can use different flavours so long as the colours match up, but these go well together. (Handy hints: the woodruff syrup needs to be mixed with water, but not too much, else it will turn out turquoise rather than green; the blackcurrant juice works best when mixed with a bit of Powerade and a bit of water, to become more purple rather than dark purple-red; if you don’t like Powerade, Curaçao is an alternative for the blue bits.)
Stack the ice cubes in a tall glass so that they make a rainbow (i.e. in the order they’re given above). Top up with the alcohol - pre-chilled, ideally, so that the ice takes longer to melt. Ta-daah! Drinkable, alcoholic rainbow. Go crash a Capulet party with your boyfriend and the Montacrew.

Some are born great
Some achieve greatness
And some have greatness thrust upon them
Remember who commended thy yellow stockings
And wished to see thee cross-gartered
As yellow as the stockings that made its namesake famous and, like him, kind of sweet but kind of bitter: we present the Malvolio.
Ingredients:
- Half a dozen physalis fruits
- 4 cl Cointreau
- A dash of Pimms No. 1
- Juice of half an orange
- A dash of lemon juice
- Tonic water
- Ice cubes
Preparation:
Use Malvolio’s stockings as a glass. (Failing that, any tall glass will do, I guess.) Cut the physalis fruits in half (lets the flavour escape better) and mix them up with the ice cubes. Add the Cointreau and orange juice, splash in a dash of Pimms and lemon juice. Gently fill up with tonic. Wear the most horrible outfit you can find and strut into the room making dick jokes while serving.

Boil and Bubble
“Fuck you, Helen,” the Third Witch says to the Second, “you and your stupid health drinks. I want a real fucking cocktail.” The Third Witch just wants to get shitfaced on some funky sweet stuff, is that too much to ask?
(She is also secretly Irish, having been carted off to Scotland under unknown circumstances when she was just a wee lass. Don’t ask her about it, it’s a touchy subject.)
Ingredients:
- 6 cl Baileys
- 4 cl Cointreau
- 2 cl Whiskey (we suggest Jameson for this one)
- 5 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (as described here)
- Lots of crushed ice
Preparation:
Mix all the liquids and combine with the pumpkin puree until the latter has dissolved (ideally, shake and strain). Fill whiskey glass to the brim with crushed ice and pour in the drink. The amounts given above should roughly fill two glasses. Drink like water, you won’t even notice there’s alcohol in there. Repeat until you’re sloshed enough to no longer notice Helen talking about what clothes to knit for her grand nephew’s toddler.
