Today I return to Fallout and tackle the long promised Sierra Madre Martini, so charge up your plasma rifle and kick back with me and Dean Domino.
**********************************
Fallout: New Vegas is my favorite of the 3-d Fallout games (though I still prefer the original 2-d games if I'm honest) and it seems I'm not alone in that opinion. There's a LOT of love out there for New Vegas and rightly so: New Vegas managed to build a compelling and fully realized world with a rich lore and a believable setting, factions, characters, the works. The only real complaint about New Vegas is that at launch it had some bugs. The first expansion pack for this game was Dead Money, and not everyone loved it. Dead Money was a big genre shift for Fallout, it wasn't so much a Post Nuclear Role Playing game as it was a Survival Horror game. Yes, in the context of that overall Post Nuclear Role Playing game, it made sense, but as a module, it was all survival horror. It had a punishing difficulty though that I loved that reminded me of the original Fallout 1 & 2, and for that reason it's my favorite expansion for New Vegas. You meet some very interesting characters at the Sierra Madre hotel & casino, one of whom is Dean Domino, a ghoul who's been lurking around the casino since the bombs fell, and he's developed a trick or two to help him survive the passing centuries. One of which is mixing up a drink he calls a Sierra Madre Martini, a combination of Toxic Gas Cloud Residue, Junk Food, and Tin Cans, it's an intoxicating in-game buff that helps you survive the lethal expansion pack. Curiously for a martini alcohol isn't present in his recipe, but I manage to fix that. To make my version you'll need a cotton candy machine, and I strongly recommend the one I'm using here, because it's pretty cheap and works well enough. The link is here: amzn.to/2mmj0h3
You'll be making some Absinthe Cotton Candy as a stand in for the toxic gas cloud. It's made like this.
Combine Approx. 1 part Absinth with 2 Parts granulated sugar (adjust mix to get a coarse paste)
Add 1 Tablespoon of Absinth Sugar to Cotton Candy Machine
Collect Cotton Candy.
Sierra Madre Martini
.5 oz. or 15 ml. Simple Syrup
2 oz. or 60 ml. Vodka
5 or 6 Potato Chips
Shake over ice
Double strain into tin can filled with ice
Garnish with Absinthe Cotton Candy
