If you like being chased by monsters (or doing the chasing), this Dead by Daylight inspired margarita is going to have you instantly hooked.

You’ll need

2 oz (60ml) tequila blanco

.50 oz (15ml) raspberry simple syrup

.50 oz (15ml) Cointreau

.50 oz (15ml) lime

Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake thoroughly to chill. Garnish with some raspberries. Strain into your chilled vessel. Serve!

“Catch meat. Sacrifice meat. Appease The Entity.” – The Voices

Mankind has always found a lot of entertainment in bloody murder. From the gladiator fights of the Colosseum to violent video games to gory slasher flicks, we love ourselves a bit of the old ultraviolence.

With that in mind, it’s surprising how long it took to create a video game based around asymmetrical PvP, set amongst a cavalcade of horror movie tropes. We should have twigged how popular a game like Dead by Daylight would be ages ago.

But still, better late than never, and now we get to enjoy a bit of murder, bloody murder with our friends, family and loved ones—and occasionally strangers from the world wide web.

I love it—I don’t know about you guys, but there’s something far more inherently scary about playing a game where the monster chasing you is another person rather than just an AI. Really adds that heart-thumping unpredictability.

That’s why I usually play Dead by Daylight with a drink at hand. This drink, specifically. It’s a margarita variation with that wonderful combo of tequila, lime and Cointreau, but with a splash of raspberry simple to kick up the sweetness, add a stab of tart, and, of course, spatter a little crimson into the equation.

Much like Dead by Daylight itself, this is best enjoyed with other friendly survivors, so be prepared to make up a batch to spread around the liquid courage for the night ahead.

Hope you guys enjoy!
