11 Drinks to Fuel Your Cyberpunk 2077 Gaming Sesh

The video game world is abuzz about Cyberpunk 2077, a first-person, action-adventure roleplaying game by CD Projekt Red. With the Cyberpunk 2077 release date only two-ish months behind us, and Patch 1.1 almost here, we’re loving exploring the open world. Hacking, androids, guns, techno-cults, motorbikes — this game’s got it all. Plus, it looks super cool, with the ability to customize your character in a gritty city lit by neon and scary-realistic cutscenes. Like peanut butter and jelly, in our opinion, gaming and drinking just go together. Here are 11 Cyberpunk-inspired drinks and neon cocktails to enjoy as you cruise around Night City.

Alien Brain Hemorrhage

Alien Brain Hemorrhage

Let’s kick things off with shooters you can knock back while Cyberpunk 2077 loads. First up is one of the coolest-looking shots we’ve ever laid eyes on. Picture swirls of peach schnapps, Irish cream, grenadine and blue curaçao — then make it yourself. View Recipe

Blue Ghost Shot

You’ve got to try this one! We love how this shot manages to perfectly layer sourness, sweetness and booziness. The saccharine vibes come from the butterscotch schnapps and Irish cream, while the fruity-sour notes are from the melon liqueur, blue curaçao and grenadine. Did we mention you light this one on fire? View Recipe

Johnny Vegas

Rumor has it: Keanu Reeves himself has played Cyberpunk 2077. Channel Keanu’s character in the game (Johnny) by shooting the too-cool, energy-fueling drink, Johnny Vegas. View Recipe

The MK-1 Grenade Bomb Shot

This interactive shot has it all: Cinnamon whiskey, honey whiskey, rum, grain alcohol and Jägermeister. You’re welcome. View Recipe

Smoking Gun Tequila Mule

Let’s move onto a delicious twist on a classic. This is a cocktail you’ve got to have in your arsenal — it’s easy to make, refreshing and one you can have a few of while gaming. View Recipe

Jolly Rancher Vodka

You’re going to want to put in the time to make this one ahead of time! The night before your next Cyberpunk 2077 binge session, organize your Jolly Rancher candies by color, put ‘em in different bottles or mason jars, fill with vodka, and let these sit (preferably) overnight. You can use these bright-as-city-lights concoctions as cocktail bases or shooters. View Recipe

Bloody Screwdriver

This boozy beverage’s name may sound scary, but the only thing frightening about this screwdriver is how refreshing it is. It stars delicious blood orange juice. View Recipe

Neon Nightmare

Don’t you love brightly colored beverages? Us too. This drink is packed full of flavor and color thanks to its perfect balance of coconut rum, sour apple pucker, melon liqueur and blue curaçao. View Recipe

Glow In The Dark Gin & Tonic

Nothing is cooler than glow-in-the-dark drinks. This is a fresh, luminescent take on the classic gin-based cocktail thanks to dry ice and blue curaçao. View Recipe

This recipe is just as cool and exciting as Cyberpunk 2077, with its cherry vodka and fiery cinnamon whiskey. View Recipe

Tokyo Drift

Night City, the openplay city in Cyberpunk 2077, feels like many of the world’s raddest cities, and it reminds us a lot of Tokyo. Cue the Tokyo Drift, a bright boozy beverage that’s refreshing, floral, a little sweet and a lot fantastic. View Recipe
