The Master

Smooth, pleasant, with a dash of darkness, this cocktail recalls the glory days of The Master during his first regeneration cycle; You aren’t sure if it’s your friend or your enemy, but you keep indulging anyway.

1 oz. Dark Rum

1 oz. Crème de Cacao

1-2 dashes Angostura Bitters

4 oz. Coca-Cola

The Master is The Doctor’s archenemy, a renegade Time Lord bent on becoming “the master of all matter.” A master of disguise and deceit, he is a persistent foe of The Doctor’s, always managing to escape and return with a new plan. He first appears in the series at the end of his regeneration cycle, scheming and elegantly evil. He is eventually forced to appear as a emaciated husk while he attempts to renew his regeneration cycle at the end of his final regeneration. He does manage to succeed in taking over the mind of a Trakenite named Tremas, whose body he wears until he is put on trial and executed by the Daleks (yes, even the Daleks found his crimes to be too evil). The Doctor is then charged with the transport of The Master’s remains from Skaro to Gallifrey, wherein The Master manages to maintain sentience in the form of an ooze (presumably his remains), which crashes the TARDIS. He manages to steal yet another body which is eventually sucked into the Eye of Harmony. Years later, unbeknownst to The Doctor, the Time Lords resurrected The Master in order to make him the ultimate soldier in the Time War, from which he fled and disguised himself as a human on Earth. After finally opening the fob watch which restores his Time Lord DNA, he once again is able to roam the universe in his quest to rule, now a rather deranged man willing to stop at nothing to get his way.

The Master was written for and originally portrayed by Roger Delgado, who debuted the role in 1971 and played it until his unexpected death in 1973 (prompting the departure of Jon Pertwee’s 3rd Doctor, as they were old friends and Pertwee was devastated). Under heavy make-up, the Master was portrayed in “husk” form by both Peter Pratt  (1976) and Geoffrey Beavers (1981),  and as a mind-controlled Trakenite by Anthony Ainley, who played it until the eventually hiatus of the original series in 1989. As the possessed paramedic, Eric Roberts portrays The Master in the TV Film (1996), and in the revived series, The Master is reintroduced in human form by Derek Jacobi (2007) before John Simm took over the reigns for the rest of his New Who appearances (2007-2010).

The Cybermen – The Upgrade

The Upgrade

This upgraded mojito has just the electric shock you were looking for. Cool and refreshing, if you’re not careful, it just might delete you.

DSCN1059edit

4 to 5 mint sprigs

¾ oz Rose’s Lime

½ oz agave nectar

1 oz silver tequila

4 oz club soda

1 oz blue curacao

Add mint, Rose’s Lime, and agave nectar to a glass. Muddle profusely. Add remaining ingredients. Fill mixer ¾ full with ice. Pour liquids into Boston shaker (DO NOT SHAKE), pour shaker contents into collins glass (including ice). Serve with mint sprig and/or lime garnish.

The Cybermen are a cyborg race from Earth’s twin planet Mondas. One of The Doctor’s oldest enemies, they used to be wholly organic humanoids, but over time they replaced pieces of themselves with robotic hardware as a survival technique. Eventually the Cybermen became almost entirely robotic, and completely emotionless. As a result, they find themselves a superior life form, believing that all other humanoids need to be either “Upgraded” or “Deleted.”

The Cybermen were created in 1966 by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis, first appearing in the partially-missing final Hartnell serial The Tenth Planet. Since then, they have been a staple of Doctor Who lore, appearing on TV against every Doctor except for the Third, Eighth, and Ninth incarnations.

The Daleks – The Exterminator

The Exterminator

The ‘Exterminator’ cocktail is NOT for the faint of heart – this deadly drink contains nearly twice the amount of alcohol in a standard Long Island Iced Tea! Though aggressive and ready to exterminate you, this drink  (not unlike the Daleks) is fun and completely addictive.

DSCN0560edittext

1 oz. Light Rum

1 oz. Dark Rum

1 oz. Kraken Black Spiced Rum

½ oz. Agave Nectar

½ oz. Amaretto

½ oz. Triple Sec

¼ oz. Grenadine

2 oz. Orange Juice

2 oz. Pineapple Juice

Pour all ingredients into a mixer with ice, shake well, serve blended or on the rocks in Collins glass with pineapple flag garnish.

The Doctor’s oldest recurring enemy and perhaps the most evil creatures in the universe, the Daleks were created on the planet Skaro by the genius meglomaniac Davros. First appearing in the second ever Doctor Who story, the Daleks were genetically modified from a race known as the Kaleds during a thousand year war against the Thals in an attempt to not only win the war but become the ultimate rulers of the universe. They are a squid-like creature encapsulated by an armored body between 5 and 6½ feet tall. Though defeated over and over by The Doctor throughout the years, the Daleks always somehow managed to spring back to launch another attack on the cosmos. Finally, they turned their attentions towards the Time Lords and waged a deadly Time War – which The Doctor finally ended by Time Locking both the Time Lords and the Daleks, essentially killing them all. The Daleks, however, still managed to survive, and continue to wage war against The Doctor and all non-Dalek life even to this day.

The Daleks were created in 1963 by Terry Nation and designed by Raymond Cusick. They have appeared onscreen with every Doctor to date (except for the 8th incarnation).
