Take the 'slumber party' drink from Friends, add in a healthy dash of craft cocktail skills and you've an exotic punch that’ll sneak up and savage you when you least expect it. Using a blend of both white and overproof rums, bourbon and gin, it takes your standard rum Tiki drink and turns it up to Death Punch 11.
2Luxardo Cherries - with stems - plus some syrup from the bottle
1Sprig of Mint
Method
Pour all ingredients into a shaker, then add enough ice to show above the surface of the liquid.
Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, strain and pour into a chilled Hurricane or Highball glass filled with crushed ice.
Drizzle a bar-spoon of the cherry syrup over the drink, letting it pool like blood in the mix.
Garnish by working a sprig of mint into the ice and placing the two cherries on the top.
Notes
Admiring the gorgeous cocktail umbrella used in the drink above? Find out how to make your own unique umbrellas in our easy DIY article.'But what about that amazing Cthulhu tiki mug?' I hear you ask. 'Surely you're going to tell us where you bought that cute little elder god from?'.Hmm... sure, go take a look at Kachaktano Mugs over on Etsy for more gothic tiki-ness. Just bear in mind that these guys are based in Bulgaria, so shipping may take a while. But it's definitely worth the wait!
