VA-11 Hall-A Drinktionary [WIP]

In-game Ingredients

Cocktails in VA-11 Hall-A are made with fictional ingredients, each representing a specific flavor:

Adelhyde - Sweet.

Bronson extract - Bitter.

Flanergide - Spicy.

Karmotrine - Alcohol content.

Powdered delta - Sour.

Based on the flavor profiles from the game, this guide will try to recreate real-world recipes so you can mix and enjoy these drinks IRL. I’ll ignore 'on the rocks' and 'aged' options, since almost every cocktail will be served on the rocks, and instant aging isn’t a thing. This guide will not cover Beer, Frothy Water, Flaming Moai (for now) and bottled drinks.
