Horror Hotel

Stir Mezcal, Apple Brandy, Sweet Vermouth, Apricot Brandy with ice. Strain into a coupe.

With Halloween around the corner, I wanted to create an autumnal cocktail that paid homage to The Misfits. Inspired by their song "Fall on Me," I crafted a music-themed drink using apricot and herbal liqueurs. For the herbal component, I chose Cynar, which complemented apricot well in drinks like the Slope. The track "Horror Hotel" from the 1960 film resonated perfectly with the cocktail's smoky and bitter profile.
