Yes, being outdoors at a funfair can be exciting, the people, the energy, the activities. For some, night clubs do it for them and hanging out with their friends over drinks and music is thrilling.

However, let's face it, you won't always be able to go out to these places, and sometimes all you and your friends want to do is play slot games at home. That's why game nights exist and are more popular now more than ever.

Why stop the fun and the thrill when you can host your own cocktail themed game night?

Here are a few cocktail and game combos with recipes to keep you and your friends entertained all night.

Cards Against Humanity and Humanatini Cocktail

If you're up for the most uncomfortable proposed scenarios and politically incorrect phrases then you should try Cards Against Humanity. Beware, you can expect a few awkward jitters and red faces, but it's nothing a group of friends can't enjoy.

For this game you'll need a cocktail like Humanatini made with RAVO vodka from original Swedish winter wheat giving you and your friend that raw vodka taste like its name suggests.

Recipe

  • 2 oz RAVO vodka
  • 2 oz Vermouth
  • Lemon Twist

How to prepare

  • Get a cocktail mixing glass and add the RAVO vodka and vermouth.
  • Fill it with ice and keep stirring until it's cold enough to your taste.
  • Now strain into a cold Martini glass and serve.

Casino gaming and Tonic Plus Two Cocktail

A game night isn't complete without casino games. You and your friends can play slot games at Bally’s Casino UK and have fun wagering against each other in a live casino.

This fast paced game requires something to match the vibe and that's where the Tonic Plus Two Cocktail comes in. The major ingredient here is Benham's gin, a Sonoma dry style gin loaded with 12 botanicals.

Recipe

  • 3 oz Benham's Gin
  • 4 oz Fever Tree Tonic
  • Freshly squeezed lime

How to prepare:

  • Fill a tall, narrow, chilled glass with ice cubes close to the top.
  • Add the gin
  • Add the tonic water
  • Add the lime juice and stir well
  • Add lime wedge on top and serve right away.

Jumanji and A way to Leave the World Behind Cocktail

There is no better drink to accompany you and your friends into the jungle than some Rhum Agricole in this cocktail called; A way to Leave the World Behind.

Jumanji evokes thrill and excitement as you and your friends make your way through the forest, completing quests and trying to make it to the finish line.

The grassy flavours of the Rhum Agricole is a perfect match for this quest. They get their unique taste from fresh pressed sugar cane juice compared to regular rums that use molasses. If you don't want to get wasted before you finish the game, you should opt for a lighter substitute in Trios Rivieres.

Bartender's top tip

Ice plays a crucial role in cocktails, not just for chilling but also for dilution, which can help meld flavors together smoothly. Use large, clear ice cubes or spheres for spirits-forward drinks like Old Fashioneds, as they melt slower and dilute the drink less. For more refreshing, highball-style drinks, ensure your ice is fresh and plentiful to keep the drink cold and vibrant.
