Mockingjay Drinking Game
Taken from here, with many thanks to freedomfry for the link, and dedicated to teampeeta.
Now then folks. For those of you who have you copies handy, the first thing you need is a drink. May I suggest either the:
Cinna:
Ingredients:
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar (plus more for the rim, if desired)
4 strawberries
3 oz vodka
Instructions:
Wash and trim strawberries. Place three of the strawberries in a bowl, combine with balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp sugar. Let macerate for about 10 minutes while you worry about who’s going to die in Mockingjay.
Okay, time’s up! Using a slotted spoon, remove the strawberries from the balsamic vinegar (reserving the vinegar/sugar mixture) and place them in a small bowl. Muddle the shizz out of them.
Meanwhile, in a cocktail shaker, combine ice, vodka, and balsamic vinegar/sugar mix. Work your biceps by giving it a shake.
Make a lengthwise slice in your remaining strawberry, stopping midway up the berry. Place the strawberry on the rim of your martini glass and run it all along the rim. Then dip your martini glass in sugar.
Add your muddled strawberries to the glass* and then strain the vodka/balsamic vinegar over. Voila!
or the
Effie:
Ingredients:
Pink Champagne
1 part Pink Lemonade
2 parts Vodka
Directions:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Then pour in the lemonade and vodka.
Shake it like your momma taught ya.
Strain into a martini glass - aim to fill the glass about 3/4 full.
Top it off with a pour of pink champagne.
And now, read! Don't forget to take a drink when...
*whenever Haymitch does. Can’t let a buddy drink alone
*when Katniss figures out how to manipulate the audience to get something (like kissing Peeta to get bread)
*anytime any character shows defiance of Panem, be it open (whistling Rue’s tune) or covert (mockingjays on watchbands)
*anytime you feel like Katniss could really use a Sassy Gay Friend to slap some sense into her (“look at your life! look at your choices! have you even slept with this guy?”)
*anytime there’s a reference to President Snow smelling of blood
Take a shot:
*anytime an Avox appears
*anytime a Tribute dies (we apologize in advance for that one chapter. You know, the one.)
*anytime one of Suzanne Collins’ crazy-ass “animals” appears (jabberjays, other muttations, etc)
