Green Lantern's Light (The Green Lantern)

Midori (Chilled)
Galliano
Sour Mix
Lemon and Limeade 
Rounded Ice 

High Ball Glass

The Green Lantern is a character which can be taken many different ways and this is just one interpretation. The Midori is quiet an obvious ingredient because of the colour. With the Melon flavour I wanted to show that although on the surface Hal appears to be shallow he does have a back story and is a little more complex, and Galliano does that brilliantly. The sour mix and the lemon and limeade, add a kick that the Green Lantern has, it also adds to the green colour. The High Ball Glass is a tribute to Hal Jordan's air force call sign.

Happy New Years!!!

The Agent Coulson (Phil Coulson)

Cointreau
Triple Sec
Lemonade
Lime Juice
Slice of Orange, Lemon & Lime

Square Tumbler

Agent Coulson is a deceptive character at first you just think he is another suit, but think again this man packs a very real punch. Unassuming and seemingly ordinary but get on the wrong side of him and you're on the floor, and that is what this cocktail is. In the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV series he is noted for referencing Tahiti and that is where I wanted to start with a fruit zing, yet keeping his manliness intact, hence the simple garnish. Linking in with these themes the Cointreau & the Triple Sec, and the punch, that Phil himself could deliver. The Lemonade links back to the American 'tradition' of selling Lemonade. And the Lime Juice is the unexpected kick. The Squared Tumbler is to show that he can conform.

Arc Reactor (Iron Man)

Drambui
Orange Bitters
Sloe Gin
Orange Juice
Crushed Ice

Squared Tumble

Okay this is one that I am still not sure of, I hope that this one works because I am liking the sound of it. The Drambui is a nod to the scotch, that Tony Stark drinks. The orange is to add a 'golden' element to the drink, to contrast with the Sloe Gin. I chose crushed ice rather than cubes because I wanted to give a nod to the Stark line and the work in the ice Stark Senior. did.

Two Face/ Harvey Dent (Two Face/ Harvey Dent)

Harvey Dent
Grenadine
Sparkling Grape Juice

Two Face
Cassis
Russian

Pint and Shot glass with coin coaster

I wanted this drink to change colour and have two ingredients. So a bomb was the most obvious way of doing this. The Two Face starts off with a Russian which has a kick by itself but with the Cassis dropped it in the drink changes and becomes something darker and completely different. The Harvey Dent is a sweet drink that changes into something even sweeter when the Grenadine is added.

Hufflepuff (House Hufflepuff)

Mangoes, puréed
Passion Fruit
White rum
Honey
Crushed ice
Blackcurrants, fresh and Candied
Cassis 
Sugar

Traditional Cocktail Glass

So this is a Mango and Passion fruit daiquiri with a Cassis soaked blackcurrants at the base. Hufflepuff is built on hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play, and this cocktail represents this, there are steps that need to be taken before you can make the cocktail, a little bit of hard work! The Mango and the Passion fruit give this drink an intense yellow colour and the Blackcurrants and Cassis give the Black colour of the Hufflepuff House.

The Weasley (The Weasley Family)

Carrot Juice
Orange Juice
The Kings Ginger Liqueur
Alcoholic Ginger Beer

Pitcher and Mismatched Old Glasses

Okay so you know it had to be Orange based, and pack an unexpected punch just like Molly. I also wanted it to be a pitcher, a drink for sharing, to represent the number and closeness of the family. The Carrot and the Orange Juice is the base, full of flavor and healthy. This is the unexpected kick the Kings Ginger Liqueur and the alcoholic Ginger Beer, this provides a heat and a fizz to the Cocktail, the Kings could also be a link to the Golden Threes names.

Blue Sun (Blue Sun Corporation)


Blue Tropical Souz
Blue Chilli Jacks
Baijui
Soda Water

Glass Tankard

So the Blue Sun Corporation is an ever present evil in the background. The Blue Tropical Souz adds the blue into the Blue Sun. The Blue Chilli Jack adds the heat behind the sun, and the Baijui is the heat, and adds a link to the Chinese which is the other language spoken in the Verse. The Soda Water is bulk.

The Captain (Captain America)

Strawberry Juice or Purée
Sparkling Lychee Juice drink
Frozen Disk of Blueberry Juice, with added Blue Colourant (a Food Colouring or a Blue Coolaid), and if you want an extra touch, add a slice of Star Fruit to the frozen disk.

Tall tumbler

Shocking no alcohol! It came to me that Steve Rogers would probably wouldn't want to drink while on missions and I decided that his cocktail should reflect this. The Captain being good and pure, no alcohol, as regards to him being sweet the Strawberries cover that. I wanted to add a twist in to the mix with the Lychee Sparking Drink, to show that he has travelled and isn't afraid to try new things, which could also be a link back to the experiments he was a part of. And finally the Blueberry Juice frozen disk, with extra blue, all American and tasty, need I really say more? With the option of the star fruit slick in the frozen disk, making it look a little bit like his shield. This drink is in layers showing red, white, and blue, patriot to the tee.

The Xavier (Professor X)

Elder Flower Presse
Polish Spirit
Frozen Balled Apple (Golf Ball Sized)

Squared Tumbler

The Apple and the Elder Flower are quintessentially British, representing the representation of Professor Xavier portrayed by Sir Patrick Stewart & James McAvoy. The Polish Spirit is a throw back to his friendship with Erik, Magneto, a link to his past.

Vodka
Shots of Expresso
