We have created a special sipper for you this year. You can raise it to your face during the gory parts and hide your fear with well-timed sips.
This Halloween cocktail is inspired by the unusual and the mysterious. We combined spirits that you may have been scared to try in the past, but through technique, can be perfectly balanced and become a spooky delight without the fright.
The Cemetery Fog has powerful smoky and herbal notes from mezcal and chartreuse which are softened by delicate quinquina and lemon juice. With a splash of Campari for balance, the only thing you need to fear is the candy and cocktail hangover. Be careful you do not have too many, you wouldn’t want your morning to be a nightmare.
Preparation (using our Fifth & Vermouth Barware, of course!)
Using a jigger, add the following ingredients to a mixing glass.
1.5 Mezcal
¾ Quinquina Blanc
¼ Campari
¼ Yellow Chartreuse
¼ Lemon
Add ice. Stir with a bar spoon for ten seconds to achieve dilution and proper temperature reduction. Use a tulip strainer and strain into a coupe. Garnish with lemon zest. Enjoy.
