Naruto Mixed Drinks
Posted by erin at February 18, 2005 08:05 PMSo last weekend I watched 45 episodes of Naruto, ending with episode 101. With only 20 more episodes before I'm totally caught up, and as per the series' recent licensing, I have decided to compile a list of Naruto-themed mixed drinks.
For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Naruto is the new Dragonball Z, only with many, many more characters, all of whom are ninjas, and each character has a unique (and often tragic) back-story and sometimes a unique clan-related ninja ability.
I think that making up unique (or ripped-off) drink recipes to represent each character is totally apropos for a show that's largely aimed at the under-21 crowd. So here it is, my list so far! Please give suggestions and I will eventually compile one ultimate list:
Naruto Mixed Drinks "Naruto" - orange crush with vodka, because that would be fizzy and obnoxious
"Sasuke" - 2 parts diet coke 1 part rum (a popular drink that's not as strong as an "Itachi", see below)
"Itachi" - 1 part coke, 2 parts rum, 1 part jaggermiester (to make you lose track of time)
"Sakura" - some fruity pink ice cream drink with almost no alcohol in it
"Ino" - a purple ice cream drink with twice as much alcohol as a "Sakura" but still not enough to hurt anyone
"Tsunade" - a shot of something that taste sweet and messes you up, but should ultimately be avoided while gambling.
"Rock Lee" - gin and 7-up on the rocks, with a stick of celery (get it? Rocks, Celery)
"Gaara" - undecided as of yet, but should be the driest drink possible. Like a dry martini - it should f**k you up.
"Shino" - not sure what's in it, but it's served with a plastic spider on top.
"Chouji" - should be a drink with a maximum number of calories, served with chips on the side (they increase your chakra, at least in GNT3).
"Kiba" - Red Dog beer mixed with... something else with "dog" in the title, as long as there are two dogs, this joke will work, I swear...
Please add suggestions and comments, if you're familiar with the show (or with bartending, heheh)!

Other Suggestions so far:
[From OtakuArmy] 1: Naruto Drinks: Kakashi: Identical to what the guy on your left is
drinking.[From NYU Anime] "Gaara"- Dry martini, served iced cold with a dash of coarse sugar (sand texture!)
"Shino"- 2 parts Amaretto, one part sprite. A dark colored, mysterious drink, best served in an opaque glass. Nobody should know what's inside, just that it's totally badass.
"Chouji"- 1 part kahlua, 2 parts ice cream (really fatty kind, like friendly's). A shake that goes great with fries. For an extra chakra boost, add chocolate syrup. Yakiniku bonazai!
"Shikamaru"- one part Raspberry liqueur (Chambord), one part seltzer, two parts plum sake. Serve with shougi-shaped ice cube, just becuase shikamaru is totally badass and deserves the detail

[From OtakuArmy] Another drink suggestion:
Tenimaru-throw every type of liquor and juice into a blender, let it sit there for about 20 epis,er,minutes, talk about Gaara, and then drink it when no one's drinking.

[From NYU ANime] I'm fairly sure that Rock Lee is absinthe. Bright green, strong, and designed solely for the imperative of fucking things up. Also, the one time I tried it, I saw speed blurs.... on trees.

I've decided a Guy-sensei could be a tequilla sunrise with a slice of lime in it. But it's important that when the bartender serves it to you, he gives you a giant smile and thumbs-up. It's also served in a really big glass, and you can't finish it, you have to do 500 laps around the bar walking on your hands (as opposed to another suggestion: you have to do 500 shots).
____
Temari : served in 3 shots... and no more.
Tequilla shots and gin with some lime twists. So for each shot (star) you are 1 closer to the twist and tornado that blow you away.
____Neji - Absolut Vodka + 2 drops of Absenthe (cause of his clan marker)
Jiraya - Warm Sake + Kabuki sandals
Kisame - Chum + White Wine (its got real bits of shark in it, so you know its good)
Konohamaru - Apple Juice + Cranberry Juice + cough syrup
Ura Renge - A series of shots which must be opened - i mean drunk in order and within 3 minutes.
1 - Vodka (Mind)
2 - Warm Sake (Heal Gate)
3 - Captain Morgans (Life Gate)
4 - 151 Rum (Wound Gate)
5 - Yeagermeister (Limit Gate)
