Medical Mojo

This cocktail mirrors the strong, rich personality of Martha, as well as being a boozy twist on the kind of thing she probably kickstarts her day with. Every doctor could use some caffeine to get their mojo flowing!

1 oz Dark Rum

1 oz Frangelico

½ oz Kahlua

4 oz coffee

Pour alcohols into the brew of your choice and stir, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and ground nutmeg.

Optional: Pre-freeze coffee ice cubes and serve cold.

Martha Jones is portrayed by Freema Agyeman (pronounced: A’-jea-min). A medical student, she first encounters The Doctor when an alien race known as the Judoon invade the hospital where she works and teleport it to the moon. After the incident is resolved, The Doctor offers to take her on his travels, and she accepts. She quickly develops romantic feelings for him, which remain unrequited throughout her travels with him, as he is still mourning the recent loss of Rose Tyler’s companionship. Finally, Martha decides to take control of her future and leaves the TARDIS of her own accord, but promises to see him again. On her own, she becomes a Medical Specialist for UNIT and is briefly employed at Torchwood, eventually marrying Mickey Smith, Rose Tyler’s old boyfriend. Intelligent, capable, determined, Martha is a force to be reckoned with. She traveled with the 10th incarnation of The Doctor for one season, in 2007, with cameos later in the series as well as appearing on the spinoff Torchwood.

Red Jelly Baby

1 oz cherry vodka

½ oz triple sec

½ oz grenadine

¼ oz peach schnapps

4 oz Sprite

Measure all alcohols and grenadine into a mixer with ice, shake well, add Sprite, and serve in a highball glass either up or on the rocks. Garnish with Jelly Babies.*

*Optional garnish: Skewer 6 Jelly Babies for a mini scarf in the following order: Purple, White, Orange, Yellow, Red, Green

The fourth incarnation of The Doctor was portrayed by Tom Baker. Adorned in baggy clothes, a manic grin, and an enormous scarf, the influence of Baker’s Doctor cannot be overestimated. Disconcertingly whimsical or deadly serious by turns, the fourth incarnation of The Doctor was an unpredictable man of misdirection and great emotional depth. He would use a silly and non sequitur manner to throw enemies offguard, but could express great disdain and anger when rubbed the wrong way. He would carry an array of props in his pockets for various purposes, most famously munching on or offering Jelly Babies to his companions or even his enemies. For many, especially in the US, the fourth incarnation of The Doctor was the Doctor that introduced them to the show, and Baker remained the most popular incarnation until David Tennant showed up over 30 years later. His travels with companion Sarah Jane Smith were considered the Golden Age of the classic series. His iconic scarves continue to enthrall knitters of all ages and his bohemian outfits became, for many people, the quintessential look of The Doctor. The fourth incarnation of The Doctor still holds the record for longest time in the TARDIS, at 7 years (from 1974-1981), and his companions included Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Leela, K-9, Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana for short) I, Romana II, Nyssa, Adric, and Tegan.
