Old Yog
In his bar at R’lyeh buzzed Cthulhu waits drinking . . .
I love rum but I’m not a big fan of super sour-sweet drinks. It is, however, the dead of Summer and I now own a Tiki Cup so I wanted to make something fitting for the season and the cup’s malfeasance magnificence.It originally was going to be a variation of the Navy Grog though it’s probably closer to a Zombie. If I had any 151 to pour over the top I guess it would be even more so. I didn’t want to use any Grapefruit Juice so opted instead for Pineapple, though there is not much Juice in it at all. There is also Lime juice since I juiced the Lime after making the Lime tentacles.
With 3 types of rum and the addition of Absinthe, it turned out really strong. Adding a little 151 would have made it a complete asskicker. It also didn’t help that since I was so excited to get the cup, make the drink, watch the sunset and then the subsequent storm, that I totally forgot to eat.
