With a franchise as iconic as Hitman, we had plenty to work with and decided we wanted to capture the variety of kill styles and create a set of drinks that took on both the visual style and classic themes of the Hitman series… but first, we needed a ‘victim’

The studio was an interesting place to be that day, with glasses of booze meeting air rifles and samurai swords… it was messy – but an awful lot of fun. Seven glasses lost their lives that day for a total of four final images, which although a fairly good ratio, clearly any slip ups wouldn’t be seen as acceptable by a certain barcoded agent…

To draw attention to the (borderline offensively) bad ‘Absolut’ semi-pun, we used different flavours of the Swedish spirit for each image.

Method

Choose your “death” ingredient. Pour all the long island alcoholic ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake. Strain the mixture into a highball glass over ice. Top with the lemon-lime soda and fresh lime juice. Drink up and watch your back agent.
