Coco Drinking Game + Cocktail

Share:

Drink to the dead — they can only stay if you remember them.

The Rules

  • Sip — A marigold petal path is shown lighting the way between the living world and the Land of the Dead
  • Sip — Miguel plays guitar and sings — even when someone has explicitly told him not to
  • Sip — Hector's face or body begins flickering because he is being forgotten in the living world
  • Sip — Ernesto de la Cruz appears on a massive memorial portrait, poster, or giant screen
  • Sip — Dante the hairless Xoloitzcuintli pulls a move useless that makes things worse
  • Drink Twice — Miguel steals the guitar from Ernesto's mausoleum and plays the opening chord
  • Drink Twice — Hector reveals he wrote all of Ernesto's famous songs — they were stolen
  • Drink Twice — Ernesto de la Cruz throws Miguel off the tower into the cenote below
  • Shot — Miguel sings "Remember Me" in the soft lullaby version to Great-great-Grandma Coco
  • Shot — Coco recognizes her Papa — Hector — and begins to remember his face fully
  • Chug — Hector's photo is placed on the Rivera ofrenda and he is remembered forever — he solidifies
