Since Hpnotiq’s release party a few years ago, a popular drink rising up on the club scene has been the Incredible Hulk. Created in Sean Combs’ New York restaurant, Justin’s, this became one of the first popular superhero inspired drinks.

But now with the acceptance of geek culture becoming mainstream, these kinds of drinks are on the rise.
The Incredible Hulk

Some of these are very specific calling for name brand products but most can be substituted for a similar alcohol.
