Día de los Muertos: A Cocktail for the Day of the Dead
In honor of the Day of the Dead, I present you with this new cocktail creation: "Día de los Muertos". Lugubriously jolly, spicy, and complex, there is a curious hint of black cherry throughout, although nothing in the ingredients suggests this. Perhaps it is an olfactory cue from the dried black cherries on a pick used as a garnish...
