Last month, Bethesda unveiled the Fallout 76 expansion, Wastelanders. In this expansion, vault hunters will get to see the Wasteland transform in a variety of seasons. How will creatures behave differently between Summer, Fall, and Winter? In the Summer, Fallout 76 players will have access to new Legendary perks, public teams, and a new legendary boss event. Then once things start to cool off, Fallout 76 will introduce new daily operations and a Steel Dawn questline. In celebration of the Fallout 76 Wastelanders release and how far Fallout 76 has come, we reached out to TikToker SinCityBartender for ideas on how to celebrate the Game’s expansion and what inspired him to create a variety of Fallout mixtures.
For those who do not know who SinCityBartender is, we recently covered his Call of Duty and Minecraft inspired mixtures; these mixtures came at the perfect time because we could celebrate the release of Minecraft Dungeons and the rumor of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War. Now, with Bethesda mysteriously pulling Fallout 76 out of IGN’s Summer of Play event, we thought a few Fallout inspired drinks might help fellow survivors enjoy the beginning of Summer.
Before we jump into the first 10 mixtures, we thought we should ask Jason (Sin City) what inspired these mixtures and what his experience has been with the Fallout franchise.
The NerdStash: Which Fallout games have you played/ which Fallout is your favorite?
Jason (SinCity): My favorite Fallout is definitely Fallout 4. Boston is one of my favorite cities, I have a fun part of my family out there, and they’ve shown me all the best sights in the city. To see some of Boston recognizable in the post-apocalyptic world was pretty awesome, specifically the swan monster. ‘Fallout’ New Vegas is a close second but roaming around the commonwealth with the best combat system yet really can’t be beaten in terms of pure enjoyment.
NS: Which faction do you side with in Fallout?
Jason (SinCity): One of the things I loved about New Vegas though, was how many different factions there were and while Fallout 4 had fewer, I thought they were all great, even the Minutemen. The best Fallout faction has to be the Brotherhood of Steel. Even though they’re insane and leave no room for negotiations, they’re badass and provide the best storyline.
NS: Who is your favorite Fallout companion?
Jason (SinCity): Danse! All Day!
Fallout Drink Inspirations
The Stash: What inspired these Fallout mixtures?
Jason (SinCity): When it comes to making the cocktails, there’s always a struggle that comes with it. Sometimes you have to decide what’s the most iconic part of the drink. For example, I recreated Nuka Quantum but was unable to use any ‘real’ cola. I was able to have it glow, and it tastes amazing regardless, but unfortunately, I have no idea how to make blue cola! I had a lot of fun making Vim’s Captain Blend because the drink referenced having lobster shells and fish guts, which I answered with sour gummy sea critters.
My favorite recreation though has to be the Dirty Wastelander. Mutfruit is said to taste like apples and has an appearance similar to a blackberry, so I took those flavors, Irish Whiskey (as found in the game), and dr pepper (which I think Nuka Cola would be most similar to), and it turned out to be a delicious concoction. It’s a lot of fun getting requests and ideas from the game and doing my best to create something fun that actually tastes great.
