Red Death-The Cocktail
As the summer approaches us steadily, we here in the Crypt anxiously await the sweet scent of roasting flesh wafting through the air and what better to pair charred flesh with than one of these delightful concoctions known as Red Death! Despite it’s name, the Red Death cocktail is an exceptionally light and refreshing blend.
Red Death Cocktail: For this cocktail you will be using a highball glass and will require a shaker.
1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Triple Sec.
1/2 oz. Amaretto.
1/2 oz. Sloe Gin.
1/2 oz. Southern Comfort.
1 oz. of Rose’s Lime Juice.
Orange juice
Here’s how we do it up in the Crypt:
Fill shaker about half way with ice cubes, add the liquor and lime juice. Fill the rest of the way with orange juice. Shake well and serve! I have been known on occasion in those scorching summer nights to blend this concoction and serve in a tall glass with a straw.
I’ll leave you with a little Poe for inspiration:
There were arabesque figures with unsuited limbs and appointments. There were delirious fancies such as the madman fashions. There was much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust. To and fro in the seven chambers there stalked, in fact, a multitude of dreams. And these —the dreams —writhed in and about, taking hue from the rooms, and causing the wild music of the orchestra to seem as the echo of their steps. Edgar Allen Poe- The Masque of the Red Death
I’m thinking they went mad from drinking one too many of these little devils. While they go down smooth, these pack a real 1-2-3 punch! Bottoms Up and Viva la Liquor, Kittens!
