Do you possess a love of libations, a sweetness for spirits, an affection for alcohol? Brother, you're not the only one. Our team of master mixologists has devised a spectrum of drinks for every occasion, and each one has been named after something we love (in addition to alcohol) - movies, games, girls and more, they're all here in UGO's Drink of the Week.
This Week's Mixed Drink!
The Hammer Of God
The Gears of War series boasts some of our favorite shooter weaponry of all time, but one of Markus Fenix's advanced armaments that plays a big role in the plot of the recently-released sequel. A hand-held weapon that, when activated, calls a huge beam of destruction down from an orbital satellite, it's a futuristic upgrade of the classic bombardier raid. We've taken the old-school drink the Air Mail and renamed it in honor - quaff a couple of these and you'll feel like the Hammer hit you.

Coquito is typically made by Puerto Rican families during the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season, but is also consumed the rest of the year.
If you think your hangovers have been bad, imagine waking up to an Earth devastated by nuclear warfare? That's a skull-splitter right there. To pay tribute to the release of the ultimate post-apocalyptic vidcon, we?ve renamed the classic soother the Morning After to the Vault, drink of choice for Fallout 3.
With Halloween around the corner, Bulldog Gin is pleased to announce a FIREY addition to its litter of cocktail recipes - the Bulldog Bitch´s Brew.

In Spanish, "San Martin" translates to "Saint Martin," a French bishop who is the patron saint of hospital administrators. When we think saints, and putting people in the hospital, we naturally think of free-ranging crime game Saint's Row, and thus have renamed the drink in its honor. Sorry, hospital administrators.
British director Guy Ritchie's been responsible for a stinker or two lately, but his latest flick RocknRolla brings him back to the gangsters of London that he does so well. To celebrate, we took a quintessential British drink in the Dog's Nose and renamed it after the film's breakout character, junkie rock star Johnny Quid. Drop a shot and drink up, mate.
The recent release of Capcom's retro-styled Mega Man 9 for the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 had us reliving our youthful adventures with Mega Man, Dr. Light, and all of their friends. One that we've long been fond of is Rush, the robotic dog that can change into a spring, a surfboard, or even a jet. When we went looking for a cocktail to toast their new adventures with, we happily chanced on the Vera Rush, a mixture of dark rum and pineapple juice that is sweet and challenging, just like Mega Man. Forget Vera - this baby is the Rush Jet.
Monday's season premiere of Heroes had its share of shocks, but for our money nothing matched up to the grisly confrontation between Claire and Sylar. One of the goriest things we've ever seen on broadcast TV, the perky young cheerleader had her head sliced right open and spilled blood everywhere. For our Drink of the Week, we've taken the classic Bloody Mary and renamed it the Bloody Claire to give props to the indestructible teen.
There's been a lot of discussion about the song list for Rock Band 2, but there's one thing we can all agree on: the new version of Motorhead's Ace of Spades kicks ass. So in tribute to the midnight release of one of our favorite music games, we've taken the classic rum cocktail the Ace of Clubs and moved it one suit over. Enjoy the Ace of Spades. Serve loud.
The return of an updated 90210 to our TV dials was greeted with jubilation, so we decided to find an appropriate drink to toast it with. After discarding the idea of chugging a bottle of vodka and calling it the Shannen Doherty, we decided to take the classic rum cocktail, the Pompadour, and name it after one character who's sadly missing - the inimitable Dylan McKay.
"To sleep, perchance to dream" - those words were written by the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, in his legendary work Hamlet. To get sloshed in anticipation of the crude comedy Hamlet 2 hitting theaters, we've renamed the classy cocktail known as the Poet's Dream to the Double Bard.
