The Shores of Carcosa

1 oz Kraken Spiced Rum
1 oz Plantation Original Dark Rum
1/2 oz Thatcher’s Blood Orange Liqueur
1 oz Eddy Bar Mai Tai mixer*
1/4 oz Eddy Bar Falernum
2-3 dashes La Clandestine Absinthe

Shake everything with ice and strain into a Mai Tai glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with pretty things.

*in lieu of this specific mixer, swap it for 1/2 oz Lime Juice and 1/2 oz Orgeat. FYI, most other Mai Tai mixes are fucking horrible and should be shunned for the syrupy shite they are.

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind* the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.
