# Drinking Dranks

Artisanal cocktail interpretations of fictional beverages from video games, movies, books, and beyond. Because every imaginary drink deserves a real-world hangover.

Each recipe is an interpretation of a fictional beverage from a video game, book, or movie — written as if Magnolia Brandywine, a former competitive gamer turned mixologist, visited those worlds and brought the drinks home.

## Latest recipes
