Pepino Diablo-ish* 
2 ounces Tanteo jalapeno tequila
1 ounce cucumber juice
.5 ounces lime juice
.5 ounces St. Germain
Shake. Serve. 

Cancelled Honeymoon**
1 ounce Cynar 70
1 ounce St. Elizabeth’s Allspice Dram
1 ounce passion-fruit juice
1 ounce grapefruit juice
1 ounce cinnamon syrup 
Shake. Serve over ice, burnt umbrella garnish. Skull mug optional.

*Attempting to recreate a drink I had at 44½ (New York City)
**Rhum (Portland, Maine, now closed. This is the only drink I ever ordered there, and it made me so happy. The bartender set the umbrella on fire right in front of you, its charred remains left for your enjoyment. It’s likely I will never attempt to gather these specific ingredients and make it myself, but I should. Posting here just in case I need to find the recipe.)

  2. I know, I think as part of our mythical meet-up we should have a cocktail party, with Indigo providing bartending/bantering services.

    1. Uh oh. Math. Can't banter and bartend at the same time. I'm not that smart.

  3. I love the name and symbolic burning of the umbrella in the last one.
