Summer Games Done Quick Inspired Cocktail Recipe

Quenching a speedrunner’s thirst.

Summer Games Done Quick is one of my favorite weeks of the year. A celebration of the speedrunning community with incredible talent and passion on display all while raising heaps of money for charity. So I figured I could help elevate everyone’s experience this week with something tasty to raise along with the charity driven festivities. Introducing the Strawberry Gin Done Quick— the perfect companion for opening up your wallet, tuning in to an amazing schedule of runners, and watching the donation bar fill up.

To make a Strawberry Gin Done Quick you’ll need:

  • 3 Strawberries
  • 1oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • .5oz Triple Sec
  • 1.5oz Gin, herbal
  • 2-3oz Ginger Beer

You’re going to build this drink in your shaker tin. Add the strawberries and lime juice to your shaker tin and muddle. Add the triple sec, gin, ice, and shake vigorously. Fill your glass with ice, double strain your shaker tin over the ice. Top with ginger beer. Enjoy responsibly.

To make a non-alcohol version of this drink:

  • 3 Strawberries
  • 1oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1oz Honey Syrup
  • 5oz Ginger Beer
  • Splash of Orange Juice
