WITHNAIL & I (1987) dir. Bruce Robinson

[andithil]

I created a cocktail for the Bloodweave Brainrot Tarot-versary event! Happy 2 years of Baldur's Gate 3!

My card: Five of Pentacles

See under the cut for a lengthy description of my thought process intertwining my beloved ship with A REALLY ANGSTY CARD (and yes, I did focus on the upright reading of it, apologies and I'm not sorry it was a lot of fun lmao).

This cocktail is a Bloodweave tale of bittersweet adventure, abandonment, and heartbreak, the ambition of only one shining through.

After helping Astarion free himself of Cazador and the vampiric cycle of abuse, Gale ultimately ascends, leaving Astarion to his fate as a mere spawn. The base is a nod to Gale's Greek coding: ouzo, an anise flavored apéritif. The blue curaçao provides the potion-esque neon color and taste of sweetness past, while its a bitter orange peel flavor complements the lemon in the Mediterranean tonic that both tops the drink and provides a lingering hint of Astarion's rosemary and bergamot-like notes. The šljivovica, a plum brandy, desperately tries to keep the pair tethered ("a hint of aged brandy" + "rich, refined, like well-aged brandy"). Edible silver glitter creates its mystical, electric appearance, and the final garnish--a sunken maraschino cherry--speaks of Astarion's hollowed out heart at this outcome.

The heart-shaped ice, primed to melt and fade, is a nod to the wintery cold imagery of the five of pentacles. I leaned on the alienation, isolation, and feelings of loss and abandonment that the card represents. Too often have Galemancers found themselves experiencing whiplash from the sneaky God ending, so I decided my cocktail had to embody that surprise, that bitterness, that very... acquired taste, while still attempting to be largely palatable lmao. I realize the ingredients aren't the most common or accessible--and despite believing that God Gale would pretentiously approve, I do feel a bit guilty--so, an alternate recipe can be found at the bottom of this post. If anyone decides to try out either recipe, please let me know what you think!

Recipe: 2 parts ouzo 1 part plum brandy (šljivovica) 1 part blue curaçao Mediterranean tonic water edible silver glitter maraschino cherry

Instructions: Add the ouzo to a shaker with ice and shake until cloudy. Add the brandy, curaçao, and a large pinch of the glitter, and shake again. Pour into a glass and top with a generous splash of tonic water, then add a cherry and a fresh heart-shaped ice cube.

Alternate recipe and instructions:

2 parts Mermaid Gin (green bottle, for the Astarion notes) 1 part blue curaçao Mediterranean tonic water edible silver glitter maraschino cherry

Shake the alcohol and glitter together with ice, pour into a glass, add tonic to your preference, and garnish with a cherry!

Bloodweave Tarot - The Hanged Man

For the Bloodweave Brainrot tarot event! My card was The Hanged Man. Ofc I applied the reading of the card to love for these two...

Upright (which is actually hanging upside down) it means love can’t be rushed, avoid romantic pressure, and sacrifice for love

Reversed (Astarion) it means new perspectives on love and changes in romantic life

And I just think that's neat :3
