The Innsmouth look.

“Certainly, the terror of a deserted house swells in geometrical rather than arithmetical progression as houses multiply to form a city of stark desolation. The sight of such endless avenues of fishy-eyed vacancy and death, and the thought of such linked infinities of black, brooding compartments given over to cob-webs and memories and the conqueror worm, start up vestigial fears and aversions that not even the stoutest philosophy can disperse.”
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow over Innsmouth

Things are pretty weird in Innsmouth,MA. The locals are very insular(not to mention ugly),there’s no tourist attractions,the only hotel in town is falling apart,and you really,really don’t want to bring a virgin there. Fortunately,it’s not a real place. But this cocktail is,so enjoy it…as long as you’re well inland.

From Instagram mixer Sebastian comes this Lovecraftian Mai Tai riff. It’s cinnamon forward with bits of spice,vanilla,and citrus. A very nice twist on an old favorite.

Remember to heed old Zadok Allen’s warning: don’t go swimming anywhere the lifeguard tries to drag you into the water.
