What are you drinking right now?

Yeah this is me making a hibiscus infusion (i took the probitas, steeped ginger slices and cloves in it for a day, now it's 2 days of steeping with dried hibiscus flowers). After this I'll make a hibiscus liqueur (by adding a honey/simple sugar mix to it). Then the kahiko punch is that, a passion fruit/honey syrup, a cinnamon syrup and unaged pot still rum. I'm using the smuggler's cove recipe. I've heard really great things about it, and the process of being able to make it is kind of fun. Gonna be serving it up at a halloween party on Saturday.

Kahikos are so delicious.

Kahikos are so delicious.

I've heard they're worth the effort, so I'm really looking forward to them this weekend.

Got a full recipe for that?

I usually use Death & Co's (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1012967-oaxaca-old-fashioned), but in this case it was more of a traditional OF - 2oz mezcal, 1 tsp agave nectar, few dashes each of the bitters.

Will need to try that one in place of my usual stone knife. Sounds kind of delicious.

If you haven't tried mezcal negroni spinoffs, they're solid as well.
