We may all need to stay home, but no one said we couldn’t make this lockdown as fun as possible. It’s also a well known fact that Mudder Nation likes to party, so get your cocktail shaker at the ready and give our top five lockdown cocktails a try (don’t pretend you were doing dry January).

GET ME THROUGH THE QUARANTINI

Espresso martini cocktail

Ok you caught us, it’s an Espresso Martini but you know how much we love a pun at Tough Mudder so we couldn’t resist changing the name. Rumour has it that this cocktail was originally created in 1983 by bartender Dick Bradshell for a famous model. Supposedly, she walked up to the bar and asked for something that would “wake her up, then f*** her up”. Much like our Mudder Nation, this cocktail is known for being sophisticated, edgy and unexpectedly strong.

How to mix your own

Grab a cocktail shaker

1 part Kahlúa or Tia Maria 

1 part Vodka 

1 part Espresso 

Plenty of Ice 

Shake Shake Shake (yes, this does count as your arm workout for the day) 

Pour into and martini glad and enjoy.

NEGRONLY LEAVE THE HOUSE IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST

Negroni cocktail

Salute Mudders. A popular Italian cocktail, Negroni’s are definitely one of our favourites to make, especially while travelling IRL is off the table. Put your feet up and imagine you’re on holiday in a small local bar whiling away the lazy summer evening. Unlike 007’s Martini preference, this cocktail benefits from being stirred, not shaken. 

How to create your own

Glass (tumbler) with plenty of ice

1 part Sweet Vermouth

1 Campari 

1 London Dry Gin 

Stir around the inside of the glass, in one direction

Finish with the zest of an orange and enjoy.

MAI TAI HAVE SOME HAND SANITISER PLEASE

Mai Tai cocktail

Mai Tai is tahitian for “good” and we think Mudder Nation deserves a bit of good right now. End of. 

How to mix your own

Grab a cocktail shaker (rinsed after the Espresso Martini)

1 ½ parts White Rum 

1 part Dark rum

½ part Contreau 

¼ part Lime Juice

1 ½ parts Pineapple Juice

1 ½ parts Orange Juice 

Dash of Grenadine 

Plenty of ice

Shake Shake Shake (this counts as your second arm workout for the day) 

Pour and enjoy.

FIZZICAL ACTIVITY IS KEY

Squats and star jumps are great exercises for you, but so is slowly lifting a glass full of this delicious non-alcoholic tropical fizz cocktail to your mouth and bringing it back down again. As many sets and reps as you like.

How to create your own

Chop up…

A handful of strawberries

1 kiwi fruit

2 pineapple rings

Add to your glass and then pour over…

Apple juice

Tropical juice

Soda water

WE CAN’T WAIT TO MUDSLIDE

Mudslide cocktail

It wasn’t possible to end this list without mentioning mud. We miss it, we know you miss it, but we can’t wait to see Mudder Nation back out there during our 2021 season. In the meantime, this Mudslide recipe definitely tastes nicer than the mud at our events so sit back, relax and enjoy. 

How to mix your own

Grab your cocktail shaker

1 part Kahlúa

1 part Vodka 

1 ½ parts Irish Cream Liqueur

Plenty of ice 

Shake Shake Shake (……shake your booty)

Pour over ice and enjoy 

Chocolate flakes on top are optional, but highly recommended.
