The night is dark and full of terrors. Killers. Usurpers. Knights and Kings. Prophesies, Princesses, and Dragons. Despite the page-turner books, the high-budget spectacle and the ultimate in character payoff, we still crave more from Game of Thrones. The newest episodes are set to debut during this hot 2017 summer when we will see villains eviler than ever before, and perhaps storylines beyond those that exist in the current novels.
During previous season of Game of Thrones, I had created my Mother of Dragonfruit cocktail in honor of Team Khaleesi, but this year, I’m celebrating another one of my favorite characters of Game of Thrones, Margaery Tyrell. If you aren’t familiar with her, she is has been described as “as clever as she is beautiful,” which increases over her involvement in the storylines. She and her Grandmother tend to align with who they see as the “winners” in a fight but are loyal to House Tyrell until death… I won’t leave you with any more hints, spoilers, or otherwise!
This Margaery Tyrell inspired beverage is a dark and stormy color, reminiscent of rain clouds, which is why I call it the Stormy Night Martini. The Game of Thrones celebratory cocktail reminds us that the “night is dark and full of terrors,” but at the same time is light and elegant. Search for and sit with the winning side with House Tyrell while you sip this delicate martini.

Some of the ingredients to make this colorful cocktail can be hard to find, such as the Blue Island pucker, so you may have to go to a larger store such as Total Wine and More to locate it. Some basic items, such as sour mix and lemon slices, a well-stocked bar cabinet will already have.
In equal parts, measure out and mix the Sweet and Sour Mix, Black Cherry Vodka, Blue Island and Watermelon Pucker and lots of fresh ice. Shake well to combine and chill.
At some point, you may want to add a dash of lavender syrup for a more purple color and slight sweetness. Strain well a chilled standard martini glass and garnish as desired.
Many have said that this drink tastes like a purple jolly rancher, but with a slightly sweet and sour tang that can only be had with this cocktail! It’s a favorite among my friends during get-togethers, and I know the Stormy Night Martini will be a new staple of your Game of Thrones showings!
