Happy Halloween!

Ok,technically last night was Halloween,so that makes today Dia de los Muertos,the Day of the Dead. Good thing I have a pair of drinks just for this.

Mix #239 Day of the Dead

1oz aged Jamaican rum
3/4oz moderately aged rum
3/4oz overproof Demerara rum
1oz pineapple juice
1/2oz orange juice
1/4oz lime juice
1/4oz lemon juice
3/4oz cream of coconut
1/4oz allspice dram
6 drops absinthe
1 dash Angostura bitters
club soda*

Shake everything except soda with ice and pour into vessel. Top with club soda.

*Might want to skip the soda.

From Rod Moore at The Shameful Tiki Room,this Zombie riff has citrus and spice with a touch of coconut. It’s got good kick,also tastes a bit watered down,so if I was to do it again I would skip the club soda.

Mix #240 Dalia De Azul

1.5oz Plantation 3 Stars rum
1oz mezcal
3/4oz blue curacao
1oz orgeat
3/4oz lime juice
3/4oz lemon juice

Shake with ice and pour into vessel.

Created by bartender Andy Boimila for Crafted Pour,this is smoky and citrus-y with a touch of sweet and a creamy mouthfeel. A very nice drink. If you’re a fan of mezcal or smoky drinks I think you’ll dig it.

Well,time to put away the pumpkins ‘till next year. I’ll close out this Halloween season with an Elvira gif dump. Enjoy!
