Celebrate With Gothtails
Today is World Goth Day my darklings....who knew there'd ever be such a day back in the Dark Ages when the shadowpeeps got a lot of flack for being what their dead, cold, black & beautiful little hearts said they were.
Whether this designation means we're accepted {I hope the fuck not - that would pollute the pool, if you know what I mean} or not, any day devoted to dazzling darkness is a day to tip one and cheer. To that end, let's mix up some potent potions to toast the diverse denizens of the dark....from Glittergoths and Babybats to Eldergoths and RivetRavens...let's all thrash, drink and be scary.
Kisses and gnashes....drink up my pretties.
Barnabas Collins
like Tom but with a deep red bite!
1&1/2 oz gin
1 oz lemon juice {fresh is always best}
1/2 oz. simple syrup {see recipe below}
dash of grenadine
lemon slice
pomegranate seeds
Pour everything but the grenadine, lemon slice and pom seeds into ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a tall Collins glass. Drip in grenadine for taste and dramatic color {that's totally goth}. Garnish with lemon twist and pom jewels.
Black Martini
darkly orange-and-raspberry flavored...
4&1/2 oz vodka
1 oz. blue curacao liqueur
2 oz. Chambord
Pour all into ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well. Strain into martini glass.
Make. Drink. Repeat. Play some music and get your gothdancing on.
