Sit back, take a sip and git gud with this Dark Souls-inspired spiced rum cocktail.

You’ll need

  • 2 oz (60ml) spiced rum
  • .50 oz (15ml) orange juice
  • .25 oz (10ml) honey simple
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

Add all your ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake briskly to chill. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with an orange peel. Serve!

An emerald flask, from the Keeper’s soul.
She lives to protect the flame,
And dies to protect it further.

– The Dark Tales

Dark Souls: a game that laughs in the face of your difficulty slider. A notoriously tough game to master, there are few mercies in this depressing and appropriately dark world.

Except, of course, for the small relief that a flask of Estus can bring.


Like your rum? Then you’ll love the Nuka Cola recipe from Fallout.


This drink was designed to warm you up and heal your wounds—once you take a sip, you get that sweet and spicy goodness from the rum, along with a hefty kick of sweetness from the honey that you can feel all the way down to your toes.

This is a beverage that you can feel going down and spreading out to do its magical healing work.

Can’t promise it’ll help with the psychological damage of getting invaded for the 17th time in an hour, but every little bit helps, right?
