The “Crazy Cocktail of Wardie”: vodka mixed with Skittles, and a 10-liter container in the dressing room.
Jamie Wardie finally revealed the details of his legendary, but extremely risky drink. The British forward admitted that he personally developed the recipe, mixing strong vodka with colorful Skittles. He warned that this drink is deceptive and dangerous. On the surface, it looks like a sweet candy, but in reality, it’s just pure alcohol. Wardie wasn’t afraid to experiment with his own ideas. Once, he even brought a 10-liter container of this drink to the team. In 2016, during the successful season with Leicester, the Englishman even tried using his signature cocktail for medical purposes. He believed that this sweet-alcohol mixture could help relieve muscle spasms and cramps after intense training. The experiment failed, but it became part of the club’s folklore. Wardie emphasized that using this method to treat injuries is a bad idea. But the recipe remains his personal invention. This mixture does indeed mask the alcohol content, which increases the risks significantly. Despite the failure in 2016, the recipe remains part of the forward’s repertoire as a purely entertaining idea.
