Spooky time.

Some spooky themed Tiki drinks to enjoy while watching horror flicks.

Mix #84 Mariner’s Ghost

3/4oz dark rum
3/4oz light rum
1oz mango juice
1oz grapefruit juice
1/2oz lime juice
1/2oz allspice dram
dash of simple syrup

Shake with ice and pour into mug.

This has a touch of mango,with a strong grapefruit/spicy finish. If you like citrus and spice you’ll like this.

Mix #85 The Black Sleep

1oz blackstrap rum
3/4oz gold rum
3/4oz Demerara 151 rum
1/2oz cinnamon syrup
1/2oz falernum
1/2oz lime juice
1/2oz grapefruit
2 dashes Angostura bitters
6 drops absinthe

Shake everything with ice and pour into Tiki mug.

This drink was created by Trader Brandon for his mug of the same name. It’s quite an interesting concoction. It starts with cinnamon on the nose,the body is SUPER funky,and it has an absinthe finish. It’s also quite strong. If you like Zombies,give this one a try.

Mix #86 Rummy Mummy

1oz Plantation OFTD rum
1oz Appleton Estate 8 or 12yr rum
2oz orange juice
2oz pineapple juice
3/4oz lime juice
3/4oz cinnamon syrup
1/2oz orgeat

Shake with ice and pour into spooky mug.

Created by Biggs Tiki for his mug of the same name,this is a sweet-ish,citrus-y drink with a cinnamon finish. The OFTD also gives it a decent kick. Just the thing for a slasher flick.

Mix #87 Shrunken Skull

1oz Demerara rum
1oz gold rum
1oz lime juice
1/2oz cinnamon syrup
1/2oz grenadine

Shake everything except Demerara with ice and pour into glass. Serve Demerara on the side.

So I just mix it all together since that’s how I roll,but if you’re into drinks with a shot on the side then do it the proper way. A nice drink,the grenadine helps blunt the cinnamon a bit so it’s not so spicy. Of course,you can use 151 Demerara if you want some higher octane.

One of these with a good classic black and white horror flick will make for an entertaining evening. Enjoy.
