Welcome to Dunce Cap Drinks

Like football, gaming is often better when a few drinks are involved. Especially if they are Dunce Cap Drinks. On this page you will find delicious recipes inspired by Dunce Cap Games specifically to enhance your gaming experience. Come back often.

The DCG

The inaugural drink of Dunce Cap Games and an instant classic. Make yourself one (or a few) and send us a picture! 

Start with a tumbler of a couple of small ice cubes (or one big one)

Pour 1oz to 2oz of brown sugar bourbon over the ice (we recommend Heritage Distillery). Add couple of splashes of grapefruit bitters (we recommend Seattle’s own Scrappy’s Bitters). Fill the glass with a dry hard cider (we recommend Seattle Cider). Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick. Refreshing enough for summer, but also great fall flavors. You can also sweeten if too dry with a semi-sweet cider and/or rimming the glass with sugar.

Mommy's Little Helper

• Chill cocktail glass in freezer for half hour or more then rim with sugar

• Start by filling your cocktail shaker with ice (a lot of ice since we want this cold…)

• Add 1.5oz – 2oz of vodka or gin (whatever mommy likes best)

• Add 1oz of orange liqueur

• Add 2oz of cranberry juice

• Add 1oz of orange juice

• Splash of lime juice

• Cover and shake vigorously

• Pour into cocktail glass

• Top with either soda water or (prefer) Italian orange soda

• Garnish with an orange peel twist

Blue Hawaiian - Our Take

Take a tall cocktail glass and fill with crushed ice and add:

1 oz Blue Curacoa liqueur

1 oz Vanilla flavored rum

1 oz Toasted coconut crème liqueur

2 oz Pineapple juice

Add a maraschino cherry and/or a pineapple wedge on a stick.

Add a couple of dashes of citrus bitters if too sweet.

You can also just serve on the rocks, serve without ice by shaking over ice in a cocktail shaker, or add drink ingredients and ice into a blender for a frozen drink. Another variation is to use less pineapple juice and add a splash of vanilla.
