Ok, I looked and I couldn't find a cocktail for either Mystic or Instinct. I AM TEAM MYSTIC AND I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS. But I'm still going to put this here for Team Valors cos I am such a nice person. Recipe here.

9. MarGOrita

So the three layers are meant to represent the three teams BUT IT'S NOT A WHOLE COCKTAIL TO YOURSELF IS IT. No, I'm not letting this go.

The Instinct layer is pineapple, the Mystic layer is blue raspberry and the Valor layer is cherry and they're all laced with tequila. If you're *really* keen to rep your team though, you can leave out the other layers and just fill a glass with your own colour *sips full glass of frozen blue raspberry margarita*. Recipe here.
