Riffing slightly from the 1934 recipe. I had an overproof Puerto Rican rum to hand, so I lowered the amount used. First time using the Mai-Kai rum as part of the Zombie blend (and am happy to report that it works well in this drink). I use one of the Jade Liqueurs absinthes in my drinks (recreations of pre-ban vintage brands), and sometimes I find six drops to be a bit much. This time I dialed it back to four drops, and it seems just about perfect.

Another beast of a mug, and I can’t wait to see this with fire going in the little torch bowl up top.

This was the second time recently that I’ve broken my “no new mugs unless it’s from a place I’ve visited” rule — but I couldn’t pass this up. Inferno Room is on my list of must-do places, and a couple of days after I ordered this one, they took the singles off their website and only have a red/gray pair listing available.
