Greetings, my wickedly wonderful imbibers, it’s your favorite hell-raiser and taste tempter, Sammy Sizzle, coming at you from the fiery pits where we prefer our drinks smoky and our humor dark. Today, I bring you a cocktail so tantalizing, it’ll snap your taste buds out of their eternal torment. Behold the underworld’s spin on the classic, the Siesta Cocktail – not just a drink, but a wakeup call in a glass!
Nestled next to powerhouse potions like the Margma-rita and the demonic Paloma, our own Siesta boasts a devilishly vibrant hue that could only be described as ‘lava light’. It’s a searing blend of brimstone bite and celestial zest, a palate-pleaser guaranteed to resurrect even the most tormented souls from the depths of winter drear.
The base of this bedeviling beverage? None other than Tequila Blanco from the boiling basins of Hades’ own distillery, where the agave is charred on the coals of perdition, giving it a haunting, vegetal smokiness. Add to that a blast of fresh lime juice squeezed from the cursed citrus of Limbo’s groves, a splash of simple syrup sweetened by the despair of the damned, and a dash of Campari—derived, of course, from the bitter tears of fallen angels.
To craft this concoction:
1. Combine 2 oz of infernal Tequila Blanco, ¾ oz of freshly condemned lime juice, ¾ oz of hellishly sweet simple syrup, ½ oz of demonic Campari, and ½ oz of freshly tormented grapefruit juice into a cocktail shaker.
2. Add ice shards chiseled from the deepest ice pits of the Styx, shake like you’re trying to escape the chains of Tartarus.
3. Strain your malevolent mixture through the fangs of Cerberus (or a regular Hawthorne strainer, if your hellhound is currently indisposed) into a chilled coupe glass straight from the frosty breath of Boreas.
To finish, garnish with a wheel of lime, charred on the edges for that extra touch of the abyss, or twist a strip of grapefruit peel for a zest that zings like a sinner’s scream.
Tradition is for the timid! Here in the netherworld, we serve our Siesta in whatever vessel can withstand the heat—be it a chalice, goblet, or the hollowed skulls of your foes. Remember, it’s not just about the drink; it’s about the statement.
So, stir up a Siesta and toast to the eternal revelry. After all, down here every hour is happy hour, and the drinks are always sinfully sublime. Cheers—or as we like to say in the underworld, “To hell with it! Let’s have another!”
