Quote:Amnesia: The Dark Descent – Amnesia Drink




I’m a huge fan of all things horror, which explains why Halloween is my favourite time of year - endless horror movie marathons and extended surival horror game sessions. Although I can brave the most gruesome of films, I get sucked into games more than I should. After I had to stop playing Dead Space due to palpitations, you’d think I’d know better than to even attempt to play Amnesia; a game which I credit as both the most terrifying and well made horror game in recent years. I’ve managed to play about an hour of Amnesia, and this Halloween I’m determined to finish it. Although I may need a sip of its very own drink to forget the fear…



This recipe serves 2.


What you will need:

1. A small pot, a blender and a cocktail shaker.
   
2. Ingredients:

• 6 Cubes Rose Turkish Delight
• 280ml / 1¼ Cup Milk
• Ruby Red Food Colouring (Optional)
• 35ml / 1.2 fl oz. Vanilla Vodka
• Ice
  

Making the Amnesia Drink:

1. Finely chop the Turkish Delight into small pieces, then place it in the pot along with the milk. Bring the milk to a gentle simmer on a low heat until the Turkish Delight begins to melt.
   
   
2. After about 5 minutes, pour the mixture into a clean vessel and blend until smooth. Allow the rose flavour milk to come to room temperature before chilling in the fridge. If the drink isn’t quite pink enough, add some ruby red food colouring to reach the desired shade.
   
   
3. Once the milk has chilled, pour it into a cocktail shaker over some ice. Add the vodka then shake it up. Strain the drink into a glass, adorn with rose petals and serve.
