Production & Profile
Dark and earthy, Rumi’s Kitchen builds a black Manhattan with rye and Persian spice in the Skeleton Tree cocktail. Rye and sweet vermouth mingle with albaloo (Persian sourcherry) and the savory, floral notes of saffron. Black walnut adds earthy, grave-deep depth. Season of the Witch at Dead End Drinks balances perfectly with the bitter bite of grapefruit, a botanical punch of gin, a fiery hit of ginger and the saffron-infused Strega.
The Morgue-rita is but one of many Halloween- and Day of the Dead-inspired cocktails at Superica. The Red Blood Moon Margarita features blood orange and amaretto. The Ghost Margarita at Top Golf combines blood orange and mango with tequila. Charlie’s Fizzy Lifting Drink utilizes a bubble that releases bubblegum smoke when popped. Purple popping pearls give whimsy to Mellow Mushroom’s Wicked Wizard cocktail.
