The premiere of the eighth & final season of Game of Thrones is upon us. Winter is here, and what better way to prepare for the long night with your fellow bannermen (and women) than with a GOT-themed viewing party complete with specialty cocktails inspired by the popular series.
If you’re planning to celebrate and toast to the epic beginning of the end, look no further than these GOT-themed cocktails from White Walker by Johnnie Walker.
Try the “Army of the Dead” if you’re rooting for the Night King – an icy mix of White Walker by Johnnie Walker and coconut soda. Or if you’re hoping the Targaryens and their dragons take back the Iron Throne, try the “Dragonglass Old Fashioned,” a fiery blend of the limited-edition whisky, cinnamon syrup and rosemary. Brace yourselves for who will rule the Seven Kingdoms than with one of these perfect drinks for the occasion.
Loyal to one House? Try a neat pour of one of the eight whiskies in the limited-edition The Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection, each paired to a House of Westeros and the Night’s Watch. From the power of water between both House Greyjoy and the Talisker distillery to the legendary women behind House Targaryen and the Cardhu distillery – there is something for everyone.
In celebration of the final season Johnnie Walker has introduced White Walker by Johnnie Walker. Created by whisky specialist and blender George Harper, this unique, new limited-edition whisky was inspired by the most enigmatic and feared characters on the show—the White Walkers.
Known by their icy blue eyes and led by the Night King, the undead army of White Walkers have emerged from the Frozen North bringing with them the chill of winter.
At the heart of this innovative blend are single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish—one of Scotland’s most northern distilleries.
White Walker by Johnnie Walker is best served directly from the freezer and features pack technology that reveals an icy design when chilled.
The final season premieres April 14th on HBO. Check below for tasty Game of Thrones cocktails using White Walker by Johnnie Walker.
