Now you can get drunk with Mario and his friends!

Scrollbar recently hosted a Super Mario Bros. themed drinking night for the college student of IT University of Copenhagen and to add to their theme, the bartenders created a series of Mario inspired drinks. Not only did these drinks look like their counter-parts, but they taste like them too! Wait ... really? How's that a selling point?

Drinks that taste like Italian Plumbers, Mushroom Kingdom Princesses and Giant Reptiles are suppose to be a good point. Well, let's just hope that last statement from Scrollbar about the taste of the drinks is wrong. I doubt Yoshi would taste like a lime, probably more like chicken.

Check out the recipes below:

Yoshi

Fruity, tongue-pleasing cocktail

  • 2 cl Sour Apple liqueur
  • 1 cl Melon Bols
  • 1 cl Lime juice
  • 4 cl Apple juice

Directions:
Shake. Serve with ice.

Garnish:
Two lime wedges

Notes:
Loosely inspired by the 'Apple & Melon Martini'. The Yoshi was so popular that we're adding it to our normal drink list!


Princess Peach

Pink, sweet, and classy

  • 2 cl Southern Comfort
  • 2 cl Peach Bols
  • 5 cl Cranberry juice
  • 2 cl Lime juice

Directions:
Shake. Serve without ice in chilled martini glass.

Garnish:
Peach wedge and pink umbrella

Notes:
Similar to a 'Southern Peach', but the ratios are modified to bring out the pink color.


Bowser

Fiery red-yellow gradient drink... with some bite!

  • 2 cl Tequila
  • 1 cl Coin-treau
  • 5 cl Orange juice
  • 1 cl Grenadine

Directions:
Stir first three ingredients, then drop in Grenadine for the gradient effect. Serve with ice in tall glass.

Garnish:
Blood orange wedge

Notes:
Modified 'Tequila Sunrise' - the Cointreau adds a nice twist.


Goomba

Oddly satisfying

  • 2 cl Baileys
  • 1 cl Peach Bols
  • 1 cl Amaretto
  • 2 cl Bols Cacao Brown
  • 2 cl Cream

Directions:
Shake. Serve with ice.

Notes:
Heavily modified 'Cream Cake' (for a deeper brown color).


Big Boo

Frighteningly delicious

  • 2 cl Malibu
  • 2 cl Pineapple juice
  • 1 cl Lime juice
  • 4 cl Milk
  • 1 spoon Powdered sugar

Directions:
Shake. Serve with ice.

Shots

1-up

Because you only live twice

  • 1 cl Melon Bols
  • 1 cl Vodka
  • 1 cl Milk
  • Whipped cream
  • Green frosting

Directions:
Mix first three ingredients into shot glass. Place whipped cream tuft on top, then add dots of green frosting.

Notes:
We played the 1up sound whenever someone drank one!

Little Mario and Luigi Shot

Layered red/green shot

  • 1 cl Grenadine
  • 1 cl Kiwi Bols

Directions:
Grenadine first. Then pour Bols - slowly! - over a bar spoon.

Notes:
The sourness of the Kiwi Bols does a decent job balancing out the sweetness of the Grenadine.


Big Mario and Luigi Shot

Layered shot... with a Vodka power-up!

  • 1 cl Vodka

Directions:
Grenadine first. Then pour Bols - slowly! - over a bar spoon. Vodka goes on top.


Super Mario Shot

  • 1 cl Blue Bols

Directions:
Grenadine first. Then pour Bols - slowly! - over a bar spoon. Tequila goes on top.

Boo Shot

Don't look the other way...
