• TMNT Inspired Drink Ideas

Hey gang, Valkor here. After all these years, I never imagined I would still be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan. Forget that, I never imagined I would be as geeky now as I was as a kid. I love everything about TMNT, from the movies, the games, and of course the TV shows, minus one, which was The Next Mutation; The show had promise. But ultimately it fell flat. Thankfully, the franchise is still kicking thanks to the success of the animated film Mutant Mayhem. Now, as much as I am a fan, I'm also a drinking man. And I searched the interwebz high and low to bring you this next piece – Drink Ideas Inspired by TMNT. Doing this was as much fun and tasty as when I did the Superhero drinks. Enjoy!

TMNT Drink Ideas


I've linked all of the drinks to their sites. So, give them a look for their drinks and more! And as always, drink responsibly!

Superhero Cocktails - Michelangelo

  • 2 parts bourbon
  • 1 part Triple Sec
  • 1 part Midori
  • 4 parts half sweet white wine

Stir with ice and strain into highball glass filled with ice. This drink is too strong to be highball per se, but melting ice dilutes it down without destroying the taste.

Cocktails Mocktails and Swizzlesticks - TMNT Mocktails

  • Lemon Lime Soda
  • Red, Blue, Orange and Purple Sanding Sugar
  • Red, Blue, Orange and Purple striped straws
  • Low Ball Glasses

Rim each low ball glass with the desired Colored Sanding Sugar for each turtle. I used a lime wedge to help get my sanding sugar to stick. (As a reference: Mikey is orange, Raf is red, Donny is purple and raph is blue.) Gently tap each glass to remove any excess sugar.

Add ice to each glass

Fill each glass 3/4 full with Green Berry Rush Hawaiian Punch

Top each glass with Lemon Lime Soda
