Cyberpunk 2077 Drinks How To Make A Jackie Welles In Real Life

The sprawling metropolis of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077 boasts an active night life. One of the more famous bars in the city, the Afterlife, pays heed to the legends of Night City who have drank there by naming their favorite cocktails after them. Early in the journey through Cyberpunk 2077’s buggy streets, V visits the notorious club on business with their best friend and partner Jackie Welles. Jackie orders a drink and tells the bartender to remember his recipe for when he becomes famous in the Night City underground.

Jackie lists out the ingredients to his cocktail very plainly: “Shot of vodka on the rocks, lime juice, ginger beer… oh, and most importantly – a splash of love.” Many might recognize this as the recipe to a well-known, real-life cocktail, the Moscow Mule. Popularly served in a copper mug, the origin of the Moscow Mule is contested. Some believe the drink to have been invented on the west coast, not far from where Night City is in the Cyberpunk universe. Others say the Moscow Mule was created in New York in a similar fashion to when Jackie orders it, while having a drink among friends.

According to the Wall Street Journal, one version of the story tells of the president of a ginger beer company, the president of a vodka division, and the latter’s boss inventing the cocktail originally with lemon instead of lime juice in a New York hotel. However, the owner of the ginger beer company, Cock ‘n’ Bull, also owned a restaurant of the same name in Hollywood. The head bartender at the Cock ‘n’ Bull restaurant claims the drink was made out of a need to clear the basement of excess vodka and ginger beer stock. Regardless, the cocktail grew famous throughout the country and even made its way into Cyberpunk as the Jackie Welles, served up by the game’s own head bartender in the Afterlife, a recurring side-character leaving her own mark on Night City’s racing circuit.

How To Make Cyberpunk 2077’s Jackie Welles

The International Bartenders Association (IBA), a governing body of worldwide bartending competitions, lists the recipe for a Moscow Mule as 9 parts vodka, 24 parts ginger beer, and 2 parts lime juice. A simpler measurement for the drink might be 2 oz of vodka, about 5.5 ounces of ginger beer, and the juice from half a lime. The IBA recommends first combining the ginger beer and vodka in a glass filled with ice, then adding the lime juice before stirring gently and serving. If Cyberpunk players want it to look nice, try using a lime wedge or slice for a garnish. Maybe the “splash of love” Jackie requests is partly in the presentation.

There’s a lot of talk in Cyberpunk 2077 about solidifying a legacy. Jackie Welles dreams of being remembered forever in Night City. He knows what happens to legends like Johnny Silverhand, and part of that fate is being memorialized in the menu of the Afterlife. He may be getting ahead of himself trying to name his own drink, but now the world famous Moscow Mule has another name to those who have played Cyberpunk 2077: the Jackie Welles.
