What you'll need Blue Curacao Vodka Lemonade Cointreau Rum Orangina Small tumblers

This drink is, of course, designed to resemble the two coloured portals from the excellent sci-fi puzzle game. For the blue version, get a small tumbler and pour in 10ml of Blue Curacao, 10ml of vodka and top up with lemonade. For orange you'll need another tumbler, this time filled with 10ml of Cointreau, 10ml of rum and Orangina. If you fancy, you can jazz the glasses up with coloured sugar rims. Simply pour some sugar into a sandwich bag with the relevant food colouring, shake them up, pour the resulting mix into a dish and dip your tumbler in. "You can mix the portals together if you like," says James. "It's a very orangey flavour, which we thought tied in with The Orange Box, the compilation in which the original Portal appeared."

Portal Stories: Mel aims to bridge the gap between Portal and Portal 2 in over 10 hours of gameplay, with 22 new puzzles to solve.  This free, community made mod tells the story of test subject Mel, who meets a new personality core in the Aperture facility:

Mel unfortunately took part in a faulty test called the Aperture: Science Innovators Short-Term Relaxation Vault, falling asleep for years. When she finally wakes, there is a fake Cave Johnson telling her she needs to escape the facility and a new device called the Aperture Handheld Portal Device, her mind races with questions. “Who is this imposter Cave Johnson?” “What happened to the facility and its staff?” 

“What happened to me?”
