A Toast to the Unknowable Abyss - Cthulhu Cocktail
Here’s an easy 4 ingredient cocktail to make any occasion a little more Lovecraftian.
Ingredients:
- 1½ oz (45 ml) White Rum
- 3 oz (90 ml) Kiwi Juice (store-bought or fresh blended & strained)
- ½ oz (15 ml) Simple Syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved)
- Ice
- Optional: lime peel (for a tentacle garnish)
- Optional: drop of green food coloring for deeper hue
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Glass:
Use a rocks glass or lowball glass. You can chill it ahead of time for extra elegance. - Shake the Ingredients:
Add white rum, kiwi juice, simple syrup, and ice into a cocktail shaker.
(Optional: Add one drop of green food coloring if you want that “radioactive abyss” look.) - Shake for 10–15 seconds, until well chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Strain into your chilled glass over fresh ice.
- Garnish with a Tentacle:
Use a strip of lime peel curled into a tentacle shape and hook it over the rim.
Optionally, add a cocktail pick with a paper sigil of Cthulhu to complete the ritual.
Mocktail Version (Non-Alcoholic):
Replace white rum with 2 oz sparkling water or lemon-lime soda for fizz.
Add a splash of lime juice to balance the sweetness.
Serve at any Lovecraftian celebration—or just to toast the unknowable abyss with someone you love.
