It’s the last part of “The Eve of 2020”-series. First two posts included cocktails with sparkling wine, this time we’re going to skip that paticular ingredient.

 

MANDARIN

12 parts Lillet

2 parts De Kyuper Sour Rhubarb

(1 part Bols White Cacao, see below)

Build into a suitable glass, add lime wedges and a lots of ice.

I’ve been thinking Mandarin The Cocktail for a long time… 10 mysterious rings with various powers; master of martial arts; genius and master of many sciences, including Makluan technology… that’s a lot of characteristics to be crammed into one single cocktail.

Instead of postponing the drink from here to eternity, I could just get over it and design a drink with many nuances: not one for every ring (that’s Thanos) but many, anyway.

So here it is… and I decided not to care about Mandarin’s green colour theme (unless you count the limes); there are enough green drinks in this blog already! And it’s the taste that defines the character… Lillet’s spiciness, quinine and all, creates an interesting combination with sweet n’ sour and vanilla of Sour Rhubarb.

And when the ice melt, they don’t water the taste down (too much), since the lime wedges slowly ooze their juice into their surroundings and keep things interesting.

Bols White Cacao… some people think Mandarin The Cocktail is better without it, I feel it makes things even more interesting… it “disturbs” the drink, just the right amount.

 

SILK SPECTRE (SALLY JUPITER)

2 parts Triple Sec

1 part Strega

2 parts simple syrup

2 parts cream

8 parts Fanta

Stir with ice and strain into a highball glass with lots of crushed ice in it. Black and yellow garnish.

Actually this isn’t a new version of Silk Spectre… it’s the way it should have been in the first place. Licorice vodka is great ingredient, but it’s little hard to control the amount of anise flavour in it (because of the differences between licorice brands).

So, the answer is Strega, and all of its violent anise and spice flavours. This drink does eveything the original Silk Spectre did, but way better. Please ignore the old version and enjoy this.

 

Happy New Year! See you in January!

 

Back in September “Reader D.” contacted me and requested cocktails for Iron Patriot and War Machine – well, consider it done.

We had a brief discussion about heroes who should’ve their namesake cocktails published so far, Falcon being one of them. I promised to get to that as quickly as possible… but it took me this long: so little time, so many heroes. Well, better now than never.

Because of the delay I decided to throw in some extra, not just Sam Wilson, but also Redwing to accompany him.

These two drinks have been added to updated Avengers Compilation, please check it out in Recipes and downloads.

 

FALCON

15 parts dry or sweetened sparkling wine (see below)

2 parts Bols White Cacao (or similar liqueur)

Sala syrup (see below)

Build into champagne flute, add some crushed ice. The right amount of sala syrup? Different brands have different intensities in taste, but good rule of thumb seems to be… add sala syrup last, stirring. When the drink turns from pink to clear red, the amount is right.

Sweetened sparkling wine… dry bubbly with 5-10% added simple syrup creates a nice combo (better than sparkling wine already sweet in the bottle). You might enjoy this drink without any added syrup… try first without it, then add some sweetness, you’ll see what I mean.

So how is this Falcon The Cocktail? Crispiness of sparkling wine takes it to the sky; sala syrup makes it “jump” and/or “glide”; White Cocoa gives interesting twist, also adding kinda “artificial” feel… those wings are mechanical, after all. Colour theme is, of course, good ol’ red and white; sala does the red. As for white, we’ll have to settle for that crushed ice.

So why this took so long to create? In September I already had a sketch for Falcon The Cocktail in my notebook, and I thought I’ll go with it… I offered it to Test Subjects B. and S., they didn’t look too pleased… and they were right, it was a lazy creation, slapped together too hastily.

So, back to the drawing board… and finally, here it is: Falcon The Cocktail that I (and Test Subjects) are content with. But as I said, Sam Wilson is not taking to the skies just by himself…

 

REDWING

2 parts sloe gin

1 part Campari

(1 or more parts vodka)

1 part sala syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a shot glass.

This shot doesn’t actually need vodka, but some people prefer it with little more sting (1 part vodka) or outright “raging raptor” (2 parts).

This shot is, of course, designed to be consumed with Falcon. It has sting, but not too much… Redwing is the faithful ally of Falcon, but after all he/it is a sidekick.

I feel that Redwing The Cocktail is at its best when Falcon has just a bit too little simple sugar: when sparkling wine starts to “get into your palate and nose” (you know what I mean), Redwing swoops to rescue: there’s all sorts of bitter aromas in the shot, but in overall its soothingly sweet. After the shot you’ll make to the end of the flute… and you’re ready for the next round ;P

Next time – Towards New Year’s Eve, Part 3! 😀

 

Today we’ll start our journey towards New Year’s Eve… at least two posts about the subject, maybe three; let’s see what I can come up with.

Sipping sparkling wine in the last night of the year is taken granted, so many of the upcoming cocktails are using bubbly. Also… things usually get pretty rough during those celebrations, so I’ll include some “well, let’s get wasted”-drinks.

So, let’s begin…

 

BANSHEE

2 parts dry prosecco

up to 1 part yellow banana liqueur (or few splashes, see below)

dash or two of Angostura bitters

(dash of simple syrup, see below)

Build into a champagne flute, add red or green cherry and some crushed ice.

Two keywords for the cocktail are “soaring” and “voice”. Earlier I used sparkling wine to represent sound-based super powers, with Black Canary and Songbird, I dare to do it again.

Dry bubbly clashes nicely with sweet banana, and that’s my representation of Sean Cassidy’s shrieking voice… The ratio of bubbly and liqueur depends completely on what brand of banana liqueur you’re using, you’ll just have to test. The idea is to “soften up” dry bubbly with sweet banana, without completely covering it; Angostura adds the third, subtle element, binding it all together into a satisfactory drink.

Some people just don’t like the collision of dry and sweet; it’s okay to add some simple syrup if you enjoy sweeter cocktail, but please check it out first without any added syrup.

About colour theme… Some people might want to use green cherry, to emphasize yellow-green colour theme; thematically correct, I give you that, but I think the cocktail just looks better with red cherry.

Cherry is not just for the looks… no matter the colour, drinkers are grateful for the “sweet dessert” in the bottom of the glass if you make your Banshee The Cocktail as violent collision of dry, sweet and bitter as I do; yes, I enjoy my Banshees more on the dry side, with one more dash of Angosturas.

 

POWER GIRL

1 part tequila blanco

1 part De Kyuper Blueberry

1 part Bols Cocoa White (or similar liqueur)

1 part (or more) simple syrup

1 part (or more) cream

Shake with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with some in it. Garnish with two red cherries.

Attentive readers notice the similarity with Bouncing Boy; no, I’m not referring to “bouncing” part(s) [whoa, that was cheap, sorry ’bout that] but the actual recipe; I dare to repeat myself since adding cream to tequila-blueberry-cocoa-combo turns it into different drink – more delicious, I might add.

So, what makes this drink “Power Girl”, besides white-red-colour theme and cheap jokes about garnishing the drink with two big bouncing cherries? Well, I’ll be straight with you… “the bounging taste”. There’s no getting around it, Power Girl has…erm, well-developed “bazookas”; in every comic book story, in every cosplay outfit… so let’s just get over it and incorporate those mammaries into the cocktail.

Also… it’s a powerful drink. Not per se, but softening up the Bouncing Boy-base with cream “hides” the alcohol, so it’s easy to start drinking these faster as you should… so be careful.

Anyway, I think Power Girl The Cocktail is enjoyable drink for any party, New Year’s Eve or otherwise. I hope you like it.

 

Next time… Falcon and Redwing, and the reason why that duo has been delayed for so long.

 

With Domino and Wolverine (Logan) I used black colouring for the first time, today we”ll reach for that small bottle once again, but for totally different drinks… bitter/grim: that taste goes well with black colour. Let’s get started…

 

BULLSEYE

1 part tequila blanco

1 part Jägermeister

1 part energy drink (with taurine)

black food colouring

Stir with ice and strain into a shot glass.

Bullseye is a killer without a conscience, so his namesake drink should be pretty “dark-hearted”, too… energy drink’s taurine, with its bitter taste, works just fine with tequila and Jägermeister…

Oh, so many times I’ve bashed Jägermeister (eg. with Black Mamba), always whining how Cynar does everything better than Jäger (well, it simply does). Well, this time I started designing the drink with Jäger: if you like, you can test substituting 1 part Jägermeister with 0,5 part Cynar.

And of course the drink is a shot: Bullseye’s attacks are fierce and fast.

 

PUNISHER (FRANK CASTLE)

1 to 1,5 part cheap brandy

2 parts sweet red vermouth

4 parts energy drink (with taurine)

(dash of Fernet Branca)

black food colouring

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with some ice in it.

Another stone cold killer… but at least he has some of his soul left, buried in the deepest corners of his heart, hidden somewhere behind the kevlar vest…

I personally like my first version of The Punisher; some of my Test Subjects don’t agree with me, they argue that my theory of Amaretto-bitterness doesn’t work so well in that particular highball… if they think so, there must be more like-minded people out there.

So: here’s another version of The Punisher. Energy drink’s taurine, once again: giving bitterness, but also thematically reminding us that Castle never sleeps (at least it looks like it.)

Combining taurine with sweet red vermouth gives us a weird combination (for similar sensation please check out Cloak and Dagger ), which would be pretty bland… but brandy really turns it into something more fitting for the namesake character.  Please use cheap brandy with “stinging” taste, smoother brandy/cognac just gets lost into the taurine-vermouth-mixture.

Taurine’s bitterness should be given more “edge” with a dash of Fernet Branca: if the brandy you’re using has a very sharp taste (meaning: it’s really cheap) you might not need any Fernet… test it with/without to find your personal favourite.

(Finnish readers: try substituting “cheap brandy” with Good Ol’ Jaloviina 😀 )

 

So there it is, two more-or-less bitter cocktails for two more-or-less sane characters. Two posts before the end of month coming up, both of them giving you superhero cocktails suitable for New Year celebration 😀

 

Last time we checked out some intensely sour cocktails, for balance we’ll enjoy something more sweet today. Both of the drinks are golden in colour, unless you’ll decide to reach for the black food colouring…

 

What? It’s not black? I just wanted to show you how Selene The Cocktail looks like without black colouring…

SELENE

2 parts white rum

2 parts Amaretto di Saronno

1 part yellow Chartreuse

(black food colouring)

Shake with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with some ice in it. I’ll guess Selene Fans won’t settle with this golden colour (she is The Black Queen, after all)…so please use black colouring if you’re not pleased with the colour.

Selene The Black Queen has many aspects, her powers are many…how to describe them? I restrained myself, not to get too carried away and come up with a “cocktail of kwazillion ingredients” which no one is never going to try.

Spicy anise of yellow Chartreuse, combined with sweetness of Amaretto creates intense combination, almost too intense… adding white rum “de-intesifies” it a bit, same time adding substance through alcohol content.

I don’t know if this is the best combination for decipting The Black Queen, mutant and magician, thousands of years old… but that’s my take on the character. I hope you enjoy it.

(If you enjoy this drink, you should check out other yellow Chartreuse cocktail, Juggernaut)

 

VALKYRIE (BRUNNHILDE)

2 parts Bols Pear (or similar pear liqueur)

1 part cognac

dash of Rose’s Lime Cordial

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. You’ll probably want to add one small ice cube.

Maybe the colour theme should have been transparent/silver (her armour) and/or blue (the cape)… but I decided to go with the taste, not colour. If this offends the fans, I’ll say the golden colour is inspired by Valkyrie’s blond hair (The Old School comic book version).

So, what about the taste? When you read the list of ingredients, the drink might look like intolerably sweet sludge… but combination of pear liqueur and cognac is actually “pretty ruthless”; so ruthless, I think it was necessary to add a dash of sweetness… Rose’s does the job, also adding to the golden colour and offering a hint of sourness.

And ruthless it should be, considering that Brunnhilde is the leader of Odin’s shield-maidens… but at the same time she’s elegant and beautiful. I hope you’ll enjoy this depiction of Asgardian heroine.

 

Last time; sour – this time; sweet – next time; bitter. See you then 😀

 

Today’s taste is SOUR! Not your usual citrus juice, but something more serious… rowanberries!

I live in Finland, a country where rowan trees are commonplace… Wikipedia tells us that European rowan is found in most of Europe and Northern Asia… I don’t know about eg. North American rowan’s berries’ suitability for this purpose. For those unfortunates who don’t have rowans growing in their neighbouring forest… next time I’ll use more “universal” ingredients.

I’m aware that there’s a rowan-flavoured vodka in Poland, Jarzebiak; Czechs have something called jerabinka; Austrians have Vogelbeerschnapps… all of them distilled spirits with rowan flavour; unfortunately I’ve never had a chance to taste any of them so I can’t tell you if they work fine with the following cocktails.

 

 

Let’s start with a disclaimer… I’ve used my whole life eating rowan jelly, and all sorts of foods utilizing those delicious berries. Now, when I’m about to give out instructions for spicing your vodka with them, I should check out what internet says about the subject…

European rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) is the tree I’m referring in this post (and only one I’m personally familiar with): there are other rowan species around, but I don’t have a slightest clue about their berries’ pssible toxicity etc., please do your own research about your local trees.

Collect the berries in the autumn, after the first frost (before waxwings devour them ;P), or just collect them when ripe and place them in your freezer. This cuts down the sourness factor (a bit)… and “reduces the amount of parasorbic acid, which can cause indigestion and can lead to kidney damage”.

?!?WOW?!? It’s a good thing I didn’t know about those side effects when I was a kid, when we truth-or-dared each other to eat one more handful of raw rowanberries…well, our stomachs hurted a bit afterwards, that was part of the game… but no problem with my kidneys so far (doctor harps about alcohol and tobacco, though ;P )…

But let’s not fool around… so there is a potentially harmful element in the berries, by freezing or boiling the berries we can turn parasorbic acid into sorbic acid, which you probably eat every day if you put even a tiniest amount of processed food in your mouth: sorbic acid is commonly used as a food preservative.

But no boiling, just freeze them. Then, put some of them in a vodka and wait…

 

“The potency” of berries (how much sour taste they give out) seems to vary from tree to tree. After tasting one berry, grinning, you’ll probably put few berries into the bottle and wait for the week: I’ve never tasted anything with just couple of sad berries, even after two weeks…

My method: pour in a lot of berries (as pictured) and check the taste every day… it looks to me that good rule of thumb is no matter how much berries you use, the moment the vodka gets a faint red tint (as pictured) the taste is right. Remove the berries and prepare yourself for the most wicked sour cocktails you’ve ever had 😀

 

ELECTRO

1 part rowanberry vodka

1 to 2 parts orange juice

Build into a suitable glass, add ice and garnish with orange wedge. To keep up with good ol’ colour theme, add green cocktail cherry (it also offers some sweet relief after finishing the drink).

So it’s a Screwdriver… but a Screwdriver you’ve never tried! Orange juice balances rowanberry nicely, still adding its own sourness to the mix. It’s vile 😀

I don’t know about you but rowanberry sourness kinda “numbs” my tongue…that’s why I use it represent Electro: tingling sensation is (sort of) a mild version of electric shock.

Trying to create satisfying cocktail for Maxwell Dillon, I tried kwazillion ideas and none of them worked out…until now. My take on another electric superhero, Black Lightning, uses a little different approach.

If you approve the basic idea of rowanberry-screwdriver but it’s just too much, turn it into a rowanberry-Harvey Wallbanger: 3 parts rowanberry vodka, dash or two (or 1 part) of Galliano and 3 to 6 six parts orange juice. Let’s call it “Electro (Max Dillon)”.

 

Continuing the legacy of my first version of Elektra, this drink is also pretty ruthless…

ELEKTRA NATCHIOS

9 parts rowanberry vodka

2 to 3 parts dry vermouth (Noilly Prat)

(up to 1 part simple syrup or apricot brandy, see below)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with rowanberries.

Next time someone asks for a “White/Pink Lady, but with more kick”, shake this. As its namesake, this cocktail is beautiful… and l_e_t_h_a_l.

Okay… I have few Test Subjects who enjoy this drink, in all its sour glory, but if it’s just too much, add some simple syrup: not too much, it’s easy to ruin “the substance” of the cocktail with too much sugar.

Apricot brandy also work as a great “softener”, and it adds some “noble feel” also; suitable for Elektra. Bad news(?) is that it turns the red tint into something more brown-ish: nice colour still, though.

 

So there are my first two rowanberry vodka superhero cocktails… there’s going to be more in the future but please relax for now: something much less sour next time 😀

 

Before we advance any further into today’s topic… rowanberries! Now it’s the right time to harvest them (at least here in Finland)! Go on, pick up some nice red bunches, rinse them and freeze them. We’ll use them in the next post.

 

Publishing Iron Man Mocktail and Iron Patriot and War Machine got me thinking… there’s nothing wrong with my Iron Man cocktail (in my honest opinion)… but it’s a shot, and I think that Tony Stark deserves another kind of drink, too; something to be enjoyed more slowly…

 

IRON MAN (TONY STARK)

2 parts whisky

1 part Malibu

3 parts tomato juice

dash of red grenadine

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

The guidelines for this cocktail are the same as for my first take on Iron Man… Stark is an alcoholic and must’ve been gulping down many breakfast Bloody Marys with trembling hands; hence the tomato juice. And the drink should have a “mechanical” taste, because of the suit, naturally.

In Iron Man The Shot and in Iron Patriot I used Amaretto to create certain bitterness; somehow it, when used properly, clangs to my teeth as “synthetical” aroma… suitable for technical aspect. In Iron Patriot I added exhaust fumes with the smokiness of mezcal…

…I didn’t want to repeat myself by using them again, I was determined to find some new ingredient to create “machine” taste when combined with tomato juice. And I did found many of them, but most of the mixtures were simply horrifying (not worthy even for “horror characters”)… and then I found the answer: good ol’ Malibu.

Coconut flavoured rum clashes with tomato juice, creates “synthetic motor oil” sensation (in the positive sense of the expression ;P); whisky contributes substance, and red grenadine gently binds it all together, in addition of adjusting the colour to more satisfying red.

 

RED SKULL

3 parts cognac

2 parts Luxardo Maraschino

3 to 4 parts tomato juice

couple of dashes of red grenadine (up to 1 part)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Of course Red Skull’s cocktail has to be red… tomato juice does the job, and also acts as suitable base for grim but still enjoyable cocktail. Cognac, full-bodied and royal alcohol, turns into something sinister when combined with juice; Maraschino enhances the mixture, and as in Tony Stark, above, red grenadine adjusts both colour and the taste.

This is the drink Skull-faced Nazi Scum sips when he sits in some dark castle basement, while working on his plan for world conquest.

 

There it is… two drinks using tomato juice; one good guy, one bad guy. No tomato juice next time.

And don’t forget to collect those rowanberries 😀

 

Halloween is near, so one more of the 2000AD bad guy is going to be published… and now it’s also the time to publish my 200th Superhero/villain Cocktail Recipe!

Cocktail compilation is updated, please feel free to download it and other theme compilations (including Halloween cocktails) from Recipes and downloads. 

And now we’ll enter The Cursed Earth…

 

SATANUS

1 part vodka

1 part cranberry juice

Blue Curacao (to adjust colour purple-ish)

dash of Angostura Bitters an/or tequila blanco

(dash of T-rex DNA ;P )

Shake with ice and strain to an old fashioned glass with some ice in it.

For cranberry juice please use high quality concentrate diluted with water 1:1 ratio instead of recommendation (usually 3:1 or 4:1).

Jeez, I loved/feared Satanus when I was a kid! When Judge Dredd was tied up in that sacrificial stone pillar and Satanus come about for a lunch… I must have read that story about hundred times, couldn’t wait for the next issue…

Yes, the taste of Satanus The Cocktail is RAW… and it should be, considering what kind of character it is. Vodka and cranberry go well together, anyone who has enjoyed Cosmopolitan can vouch for that… but instead of softening the mixture with lime juice and Triple Sec we’ll harden it up, using Angostura and (I recommend this) with tequila.

Blue Curacao is not there just to adjust the colour… it adds its own to the whole: try one with and without it and you’ll notice the difference. It’s a small one, but it’s there.

 

…AND NOW: THE 200TH COCKTAIL RECIPE IN THIS BLOG…

 

***THANOS, aka. THE INFINITY GAUNTLET***

Blue (Mind), Orange (Time) and Red (Power). Couldn’t capture the orange colour properly, sorry about that.

Purple (Space), Yellow (Reality) and Green (Soul). The yellow looks pretty pale in the pic, luckily it is decent yellow in Reality (ha, ha).

So, THANOS The Cocktail…

2 parts extra dry vermouth and…

Blue (Mind): 1 part Malibu, Blue Curacao for adjusting Colour

Green (Soul): 1 part De Kuyper Blueberry, Midori for adjusting colour

Orange (Time): 1 part apricot brandy

Purple (Space): 1 part Parfait Amour, 1 part peach liqueur

Red (Power): 1 to 2 parts De Kyuper Sour Rhubarb

Yellow (Reality): 1 part pear liqueur, Strega for adjusting colour

Shake with ice and strain into the suitable glasses with some ice in them.

I recommend that you’ll start with Orange and Yellow, save Green last. This way you can savour more faint aromas of the first Soul Gems; when you’re on Number Five or Six you won’t appreciate them anymore ;P

 

Thanos is the man… err, Titan of many aspects, but let’s face it: he is best known for wielding The Infinity Gauntlet. The Ultimate Cosmic Power (or Omnipotence, in this case) might be represented with one single drink with an insane alcohol content… but I think it’s better to get drunk comparatively slow pace while exploring the cocktail, as Thanos got intoxicated during his quest for limitless power.

So, instead of layering the colours… six drinks. They are all part of The Gauntlet, everyone uses vermouth… but each Soul Gem’s unique characteristics are depicted with different liqueurs. All are the same, all different; represented both thematically and in taste.

(You’re welcome, Test Subject B.)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

Let’s continue our journey towards Halloween 2019… more Dark Judges.

 

JUDGE DEATH

Prepare a frappe by cooling down suitable glasses in the freezer beforehand. Fill them with crushed or shaven ice, add a straw.

1 part Campari

1 part creme de cassis

Shake vigorously with ice and strain into the ice-filled glasses.

Usually frappes are immensely sweet concoctions, palatable only because they are so very cold. Sweet… well, we can’t have that with Judge Death, now can we? Cassis, of course, is sweet, but pretty much overshadowed by Campari’s bitterness.

What can I say? Being judged by Death is pretty bitter occurence; at least it’s over pretty quickly.

 

JUDGE MORTIS

2 parts vodka

1 Amaretto di Saronno

1 Midori

dash of water from olive jar (up to 1/2 part)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

The taste of decay… how to depict it, and still produce (at least remotely) enjoyable drink? Well, this is my take on the subject. I guess this drink evokes horror and disgust among many, but if you are a big fan of Dirty Martinis, I guess you’ll actually enjoy this – I know I did.

 

Now I’ve published namesake cocktails for all four Dark Judges. Next post is last before Halloween, and there’s going to be A Bad Guy’s Drink published… and The 200th Superhero Cocktail Recipe… who is also A Bad Guy. See you next week 😀

 

This morning it was freezing here in Southern Finland… the days have been shorter and shorter, the darkness is triumphing over daylight, the Halloween is getting closer…This year’s Halloween drinks take their inspiration from the pages of 2000AD.

Here they come… Dark Judges.

 

“Gaze into the Face of Fear!”

JUDGE FEAR

9 parts vodka

3 parts Kahlúa

2 parts Blue Curacao

1 part simple syrup (if you’re using more, don’t just add it but replace vodka with it)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

The hue of green in Judge Fear is… well, pretty frightful, or at least, weird. And the taste…”what is the taste of pure fear (and still palatable)?”… that was my guideline.

It’s a strong drink… if you feel that the whole cocktail glass is too much, by all means serve it as a shot; then The Fear strikes in a different way.

 

Yes, Kahlúa and Blue Curacao, “diluted” with vodka, creates a weird green colour?!?

 

I felt pretty warm when taking this picture…please note the blue flame in the drink.

JUDGE FIRE

1 part mezcal

2 parts carrot juice

dash of Tabasco sauce

some honey

pinch of salt

Stir/shake, no ice. Pour into a suitable glass and top with overproof alcohol; light it up and serve instantly. Extinguish the flame and enjoy.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN SERVING FLAMING DRINKS!

Mezcal is the natural choice for this one, with its smoky taste… once again: San Cosme strongly recommended. As I I said earlier, it’s the only mezcal I use these days.

Please don’t smother the drink in Tabasco sauce! Mezcal and reasonable amount of Tabasco will deliver the idea of smoke and fire; salt and honey, accompanied with carrot, turn this to actually enjoyable cocktail.

 

So there we have two Dark Judges… Judge Death and Judge Mortis coming up! See you next time 😀
