Our fearless trio return with an action-packed Mai Tai Happy Hour that features George almost killing Hambone over a potential candy cane tattoo. Also on this episode, we discuss my years of Halloween trauma, including the unintentionally racist costumes my parents made me wear. We argue over the best era of horror movies — ’70s, ’80s or torture porn. We pick our favorite horror movie villains and wax philosophical about the wussification of our favorite holiday (fuck trunk or treat). All this, and I talk about the mystery secret ingredient in The Zombie cocktail.
Zombie Cocktail
- 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce falernum
- 1 1/2 ounces each gold Puerto Rican rum and gold or dark Jamaican rum
- 1 ounce 151-proof Lemon Hart Demerara rum
- 1 teaspoon grenadine
- 6 drops Pernod
- a dash of Angostura bitters
- 1/2 ounce Don’s mix (2 parts grapefruit juice to 1 part cinnamon-infused sugar syrup).
Put this mix in an electric blender with 6 ounces (3/4 cup) crushed ice, then blend at high speed for no more than 5 seconds. Pour into a Beachbum Berry Zombie Glass. Add ice cubes to fill. Garnish with a mint sprig.
