Earthworm Jim

“A worm in a super powered suit shouldn’t work and neither should this grooooovy mix of gin and Earl Grey tea”

This drink came around when we were failing to think of well-known games to launch our first menu, the self-imposed rules meant it had to be a game title but with a spirit pin, overhearing our woeful attempts a regular (Arthur Spear) threw out Earthworm Gin and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use that name and acknowledge the greatest worm in gaming history.
