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.

nemovere commented on 10/08/2022:

Used Chinese lychee wine (14% ABV) instead of liqueur, which worked quite well (I don't like overly sweet drinks). The result was balanced in flavor, with the pastis (Duval) melding surprisingly well with lychee fruit. The color was amazing: Duval pastis contributed a shifting pearlescent shimmer.
