So how does one celebrate this amazing brand new America Holiday?
Simple, just follow these steps:
1. Facebook posts with your favorite scenes from the film
2. Twitter Quote Battles: First call out someone then you have to go back and forth throwing out quotes. The Loser must film a reenactment of themselves as Ruby Rhod running screaming through the halls and share it with the world, #5thElementFriday.
3. Cosplay: Show us your Fifth Element Pride!
4. The Grand Finale - Fifth Element Viewing party and Drinking Game: Get all your friends together and watch the honored film while playing a drinking game.
Here are two rule sets, but feel free to make up your own:
Method 1: Drink any time you hear one of these words
If you do it right you will have had just under 100 drinks
1) Drink whenever you see a new, ridiculous Jean-Paul Gaulthier costume
2) Drink every time someone says the word “perfect”
3) Drink for stammering/stuttering/general nervousness
Zorg (Gary Oldman) laughs, then weeps, then meekly cries, “They’re not here!”
Of course no drinking game would be complete without a signature drink for the evening. Here are my two recomendations for your night of celebration:
The Fifth Element
Ingredients you need
3 oz. Pineapple Juice
3 oz. Sprite
1 oz. Bacardi 151 Rum

1 oz. Everclear
How to make a The 5th Element
Chill mug, add ice, pour Sprite and juice into mug. Then add rum and Southern Comfort. Finally add the 5th element: Everclear!
Air: 1 part Skyy vodka
Earth: 2 parts beet juice
Water: 1 part clam juice

Love: Kiss the drink by drinking it.
