Game Of Thrones Cocktails: Pick An Army To Take The Iron Throne

By Audacy

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- "When you play a game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."

It has been over a year since fans watched the season 7 finale of "Game of Thrones", but the premiere of the final season is almost here.

Season 8 of "Game of Thrones" premieres Sunday on HBO and to help get you through the last season we have created a list of show-inspired cocktails, one for each of the army's left fighting for the Iron Throne - House Lannister, House Stark, House Targaryen, and the White Walkers.

The question is, who will you choose: The Mother of Dragons, The Night's Watch, Cersei of House Lannister, or the White Walkers?

Here's the recipe and directions for our four Game of Thrones inspired cocktails.

  • 1 Dragon fruit (you will need to cut 3 balls out of the fruit using 1/2 tsp spoon or melon baller)
  • Ros? champagne

Directions:

  1. Scoop the balls of dragon fruit out and place them in a champagne flute.
  2. Top with the Ros?.

The Night's Watch

Ingredients:

  • 2 Parts Tequila
  • 3/4 Part Orange Juice
  • 3/4 Part Lemon Juice
  • 3/4 Part Agave
  • 2 Dashes Orange Bitters (optional)
  • 1/2 Part Beet Juice (Note: We used pomegranate juice to change the flavor)
  • Lemon Wedge

Directions:

  1. Serve in a tall glass over crushed ice
  2. Pour a beet juice float - the beet juice will slowly float down the glass through the crushed ice, making it look like blood dropping down.
  3. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
