Let's drink! Cuba Libre

A lazy night, you just got back from the beach and are still enjoying the freshness in the air? then this is a drink for you! The Cuba libre is a mix of rum and coke, tasting very fresh with a sharp aftertaste. By changing the type of rum, you quickly change the allround taste of the drink.

Necessities

  • Rum (decent one, think Bacardi, Havana Club)
  • Cola (Coca-Cola or Pepsi Max, don't even think about ruining this with Pepsi Regular!)
  • Ice-cubes (Take cubes, or like me, staves!)
  • (optional) Lemon slices (about 4mm thick, mostly decoration)

Preparation


  • Firstly, slice your lemon :)
  • Secondly cool your glass, this can best be done by taking some ice cubes, putting them into your glass, add some water, and shake (helps to have a boston shaker :))
  • Clear your glass from the water and the ice cubes (do not dry!)
  • Add new ice-cubes (to your leasure)
  • Add your rum (about 1/5th of the glass)
  • Add your cola (for another (4/5th)
  • finish off by adding your lemon juice (which you sliced) and of course your slice of lemon :)


Tips and tricks

  • Don't use Bacardi black for this, use a good rum, to blend, like Bacardi Superior, Havana Club or my favourite, Bacardi Reserva.
  • do NOT use Pepsi Regular (its just terrible)
  • If you want to spice it up, be sure to try Captain Morgan's, or Bacardi Oakheart
  • Certainly chill your glasses because the drink deserves to be drank chilled.
  • Preferred glasses are longdrinks, or mojito glasses
  • Drink responsibly!

Final Fantasy XV

After a good three years without a new entry in the main series, Square-Enix has finally released the game some of us have been waiting on for the better part of a decade. Most fans agree that the series has been in decline for smoe time and had their last hopes pinned on this title. With the promise of a returned focus on a limited cast of characters, a more fluid and open game style and the gorgeous graphics that were one of the few redeeming factors of the newer entries, it certainly proved that the series is not yet running on it’s final legs. 15 and still going baby!

DreadBall: Teraton Tactics

Image
Being a Mantic Pathfinder and a Mantic DreadBall Fanatic, I often get asked about how to play with several DreadBall teams. What tactics they should play, which are their strongest points or just their flaws. What MVP's should we really go with, and how will the team grow in a league? Trying to educate people in a group, I thought I'd write my opinion down for all the teams. Here come the Teraton marching on the pitch. The Ukomo Avalancers appear!

Star Wars is making a new debut this fall and many other corporations and brands are feeling the downpour of pressure in order to produce something linking them to this upcoming success.
