Nukashine
- Nukashine is supposed to be Nuka-Cola Quantum that has been fermented and distilled, which would technically be a brandy, I believe. We do not have the capacity to distill, unfortunately, so we resorted to making a Nuka-Cola Quantum mead and then mixing that with moonshine.
- How we made it: First, we combined the recipes from The Elder Scrolls Cookbook and the Fallout Cookbook in order to make Nuka-Cola Quantum mead (will discuss that more later), and I added green tea to get some caffeine in there. Also, we made some Nuka-Cola Quantum concentrate. Then we tried four moonshines: Ole Smoky White Lightnin’, Sugarlands Shine Unaged Rye (my favourite), Ole Smoky Blue Flame (@slyjinks‘s favourite), and Midnight Moon. They all tasted like burning and acetone. We dumped all the remnants of the moonshine samplers together, yielding about 5.1 oz total. We mixed together 4.5 parts Quantum concentrate (2.9 oz) to 8 parts moonshine (5.1 oz). Then we mixed that one to one with the Quantum mead.
- Reactions: Slyjinks feels this is better than plain moonshine, which I agree with, but I learned today I don’t actually like moonshine. The Nukashine is fruity and tart.
- Would we make this again: Maybe. I fantasize about meeting Fallout friends in real life and giving them homemade Nukashine.
