As if the final season of Game of Thrones couldn't be more exciting, you can now enjoy season eight with a GOT-themed cocktail in hand. Johnnie Walker has released a limited edition Game of Thrones White Walker by Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky, and mixologist Gabe Orta has created half a dozen special serves featuring it. Needless to say, they're just the thing to get you through the battle of Winterfell.

Each of the six cocktails is inspired by the series and its characters, and with simple, medium, and elevated choices, you'll be able to put together at least one of these bad boys, regardless of your mixology experience. Rooting for the Night King? (Why?!) Give the icy mix of whiskey and coconut soda in the Army of the Dead a whirl. More of a Targaryen fan? Then you'll want to make the fiery blend of burned rosemary, cinnamon syrup, and whiskey in the Dragonglass Old Fashioned.

Ahead, learn how to mix each one, and then settle down to watch each episode on repeat, wearing your GOT makeup while eating themed Oreos.
