Changes: Atomic cocktail

Revision as of 03:00, 19 June 2020

For the various forms of alcohol that appear in the Fallout series, see Alcohol.

Atomic cocktail is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

The world model of an atomic cocktail is a novelty drink mixer shaped like a rocket ship, with a black logo and text on one side with the words "atomic cocktail" surrounding an atom. When consumed, the Courier becomes more resistant to fire and energy weapon damage. Sleep is greatly reduced, while Dehydration and Radiation are increased.

The strength of atomic cocktail effects are determined by the Survival skill and can be triple the listed effects at level 100.

Behind the scenes

The atomic cocktail was an alcoholic drink served on the Strip during nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s in Las Vegas' Sky Room, where tourists could view mushroom clouds form at Nevada proving grounds from a distance. This was a considerable tourist draw from 1951-1963 when Las Vegas was also known as "Atomic City." Las Vegas businesses had, at the time, a penchant for marketing everything as "atomic." The real-world recipe for the Atomic cocktail is 1½ oz. vodka, 1½ oz. brandy, 1/2 oz. dry sherry, and 1½ oz. Brut champagne.

The following is based on unverified behind the scenes information and may be inaccurate.

"Atomic Cocktail" is also the name of a 1945 song by the Slim Gaillard Quartette, published only five months after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
