Time to spark it up with a deceptively simple sour inspired by Bioshock Infinite’s most popular plasmid.
You’ll need
- 1.50oz (45ml) silver tequila
- 0.50oz (15ml) blackberry liqueur
- .50oz (15ml) lime juice
- A splash of blue curacao
- tsp absinthe
Add all the ingredients except the absinthe to a shaker filled with ice. Shake thoroughly to chill. Strain into a glass with an absinthe rinse. Serve!
“Harness the power of electricity and keep your enemies on their toes with SHOCK JOCKEY!”
– Shock Jockey advertisement
That dastardly Fink sure stole a lot of ideas from Rapture. Not only did he appropriate the whole idea of ADAM as a genetic resequencer in the first place, but he even stole some marketing ideas. Electro Bolt, Shock Jockey – sound familiar to you? Sure, Shock Jockey might produce weird blue crystals while Electro Bolt is a little less showy, but it’s essentially the same thing – whether you call it a plasmid or a ‘vigor’.
Looking for something more original? Try the Electro Bolt from Bioshock!
I wanted to avoid the similarity problem when I created Shock Jockey. I’ve already done Electro Bolt before, so I went in a totally different direction for the Infinite version. In particular, I tried to replicate that iconic purple-pink of the Shock Jockey, even going as far as making my own blackberry liqueur. I can’t say it was a total success, but it still ended up making a very tasty, fruity drink with an unexpected bolt of absinthe to keep it interesting.
