Nuka-Bombdrop/Long Island from the Fallout Cookbook
I am going to observe that this is very much a Long Island but also very much not actually a Nuka-Bombdrop. The Long Island was mentioned in Fallout 2. “A Long Island Ice Tea was a relatively popular drink pre-War and remained so after. Comprised of vodka, rum, tequila, triple sec, lime, and a splash of Nuka-Cola.”
How we made it: Mostly according to the recipe, but 1) used Tuaca instead of Triple Sec, 2) used blue Empress Gin, 3) used pecan rum, 4) omitted the vodka.
Reactions: It’s a Long Island. It tastes strangely like tea for something that doesn’t actually contain tea. It’s pretty good. I feel like there should be some Long Island/Three Mile Island joke going on.
Would we make this again: Maybe.
Nuka-Bombdrop
This is actually a Nuka-Bombdrop.
How we made it: 1 oz bourbon, 1 oz Nuka-Cola Dark, 1 oz rum (pecan), 8 oz Nuka-Cola. Should have also contained 1 oz vodka, but I omitted the vodka.
Reactions: Delicious!
Would we make this again: Maybe.
Nuka-Power
How we made it: 1 oz Nuka-Cola Dark, 8 oz Nuka-Cola.
Reactions: Pretty good.
Would we make this again: The main problem is that we’re running out of Nuka-Cola Dark, and I have not yet crafted a suitable substitute. I feel like 2 parts coconut rum:1 part vanilla rum:1 part caramel rum might do the job?
Rum & Nuka
A Fallout New Vegas classic.
How we made it: 1 oz rum (pecan) 8 oz Nuka-Cola.
Reactions: It was pretty good. It’s a best-seller at the Atomic Wrangler for a reason!
Would we make this again: Sure.
