Hunger Games Cocktails

The Hunger Games is set in a world where the Capitol drinks to excess and the Districts barely drink at all. This collection leans into that dichotomy: opulent Capitol cocktails for people who can afford them, and grittier District-themed drinks for the rest of us.

Inside: District 12 Coal-Smoked Whisky (smoky, dark, working-class), Capitol Feather Spritz (champagne, elderflower, opulent), Tribute Punch (sweet, disguised as something safe), Mockingjay Fire Cocktail (literally flaming, for the girl on fire), Nightlock Berry Martini (purple, deceptively deadly), Cornucopia Victory Punch (batched, party-size), and the Capitol’s signature Avox Aperitif (silent, effective).

Plus a full district roster: 1 through 13, each with a themed drink reflecting that district’s industry.
