BLOOMIN' PIKMIN COCKTAIL
If you're looking for a refreshing Summertime cocktail to cap off your night, look no further than a Bloomin' Pikmin. This decadent drink is perfect not just for sipping, but pairs well with roasted Breadbugs and has a kick that will make your hairs stand on-end.
But first, a bit of history for you mixologists out there: The Bloomin' Pikmin owes its creation to my uncle Louie, who first concocted the drink using Pikmin he personally distilled using parts from his captain's marooned ship. Surely this drink helped him through such a harrowing ordeal. I fondly remember the night of Uncle Louie's return. We held a private get-together where several family dishes were shared. Uncle Louie had a saying: "Good food and good company is all you need... And some Pikmin, too." He introduced everyone to the Bloomin' Pikmin that night, and suffice it to say, it was a hit.
Regrettably, uncle Louie passed away after a long battle with disease brought on by constant exposure to cosmic rays and an appetite for the undocumented plant life and fungi he found on distant worlds. He was nevertheless a culinary genius - some would even call him a visionary - and he passed all he knew onto me, though he was at the time capable only of communicating in grunts, which I had to decipher by carefully considering the tone and timbre of each guttural sound. I will always remember those nights spent with Louie, scribbling down recipes for Pikmin pie, Snootwhacker sandwiches, and Bulbmin Wellington into a notebook which has since become well-worn. Though Louie has been laid to rest, his spirit lives on in these dishes, which I often prepare for my family as he once did. Indulging in his accomplishments and reminiscing about his adventures has become a tradition that I now share with you.
Although the Weatherby family today continues to cultivate and harvest our own Pikmin - which we use in a wide variety of dishes and drinks - anyone with access to even store bought Pikmin can get the job done. The only thing you'll need outside of the ingredients is a second glass, because you'll definitely want seconds.
Ingredients
3 measures of White Pikmin spirits
1 measure of Red Pikmin spirits
1 cube of Flying Pikmin
2 teaspoons of Yellow Pikmin syrup
1 chilled Rock Pikmin
2 fully bloomed Purple Pikmin leaves
1. Start by adding a single cube of Flying Pikmin to a mixing glass, douse with Yellow Pikmin syrup and muddle until it is fully dissolved.
2. Fill the mixing glass with Ice Pikmin, add White and Red Pikmin spirits and stir vigorously with a bar spoon.
3. Strain into a rocks glass over a single chilled Rock Pikmin.
4. Express the oil of two fully bloomed Purple Pikmin leaves, twist over the glass, then add as garnish.
5. For some extra zest, add a few dashes of red nectar or a single spritz of Ultra-Spicy Spray.
6. Enjoy!
