White Gull from The Witcher: Geralt's Potion and Cocktail

White Gull is an alcoholic drink from the Witcher games and books. Geralt drinks it himself and uses it as a base for potions. In reality fans have recreated the recipe as a cocktail from fruit distillates.

History and origin

In Witcher lore, White Gull is a strong spirit with a fruity aroma, often mentioned in Novigrad taverns. According to Sapkowski's books it is produced in the Toussaint region from local fruit — modelled on real brandy or grappa.

Key ingredients

The fan recipe for White Gull: mix equal parts peach schnapps, cream liqueur and pear brandy. Add a little white grape juice for softness. Serve chilled in a pewter tankard.

How to cook at home

Alcohol-free version for cosplay: equal parts white grape juice, peach nectar and tonic water over ice. Decorate the tankard with a Witcher symbol cut from tinted film for the full atmosphere.
