Another fun day at Gametraders, with their most recent cosplay event in full swing. Staff and customers alike dressed as their favorite anime and pop culture icons. Publicity was running amok too, with old and new friends dedicated to the spread of geek culture meeting and swapping details. In this respect, I give a shout out to Problem Child Productions, Project Ouroboros and Duchess Sakura Cosplay!
Recently, I road-tested the Sonic Screwdriver, a vodka and orange derivative drink that was blue in colour to represent the business end of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors’ sonic screwdriver. The Eleventh Doctor, however, has a green glow to his screwdriver, so I set about to try to adapt the recipe to suit.
Each week, Fourth Verse has a knack for finding something particularly cool (in the geeky sense of the word) to email through to me. Last Friday’s email contained a link that put me into action stations, leading to this post.

Lemonade is a fine soda or mixer drink to use, and works well, but I used some soda water with lime instead, and found it gave a slightly smoother beverage. Both give an amazingly citrus alcoholic beverage that, whilst being blue like the business end of the tenth Doctor’s sonic, is a fine approximation of the classic Screwdriver beverage.
