This Game of Thrones-Inspired Cocktail Is Here to Comfort You During Sunday's Finale

The Game of Thrones finale is coming — and after a heart-wrenching (and stomach-churning) sixth season, we could use a drink. Thankfully, the mixologist behind Cocktail Chemistry shared a fancy recipe for his drink "A Song of Fire and Ice," inspired by the show.

The drink requires a lot of equipment including an ice ball mold, a tempered glass, something sharp like a paper clip, a long pick, high-proof alcohol, matches, and a seasoning injector or syringe. Now if this is starting to sound like a science project, that's because it kind of is.

In the video, the mixologist freezes an ice ball mold and removes all of the water inside of it using the injector. He then pokes tiny holes on its sides to slide the bamboo pick through. He then fills the ice ball with a cocktail he makes on the side — a Havana. Now here's the fun part: start a flame at the bottom of the tempered martini glass using the high-proof alcohol, and carefully place the ice ball over it so that it slowly melts into the glass.

While the cocktail isn't the easiest to make, you'll have plenty of time to perfect it before season seven airs . . . in 2017.
