So, I’m waiting for delivery of fresh bottles of the named ingredients, but here were four potential ingredients inhabiting nearly empty bottles, dregs as it were, and it appeared to me that, y’know, this might actually work. And I think it did.

  • Oh, and it should be clearly noted that this recipe is for TWO servings. Otherwise, the Cynar 70 and navy strength gin will leave ONE in a world of hurt.

Are the quantities right? Seems to me like this would fill two rocks glasses with big rocks.

Yes, and thank you for noticing.  My error. The quantities as written are indeed for two drinks.

Originally listed as a larger serving punch using fresh figs, which I didn't have. Also didn't have the people to share it with so I turned it into a single serving cocktail with a bit more booze.

History

As Halloween was approaching, I decided to craft this Autumnal smoky and bitter number as a The Misfits musical tribute. I was inspired by the Fall on Me to create a music-themed drink that utilized the apricot-herbal liqueur combination, and The Misfits fit the then approaching holiday. For this concept's herbal liqueur, I opted for Cynar which paired well with apricot in a few drinks, and apricot-Punt e Mes has proven to be a winner such as in the Slope. The song that matched the drink's and evening's feel was the Horror Hotel that they named after the 1960 movie.
