The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors | How to Drink

A cocktail toast to Melisandre, the Red Priestess so central to the battle For the Dawn. Also it makes season 8 go down easier.

Well, the final season of Game of Thrones is winding down and all my predictions are worthless. Oh well! As Melisandre says, "The night is dark and full of terrors" and so is this drink! This is my tribute to Melisandre and R'llhor (and Moqorro and Thoros for book readers). It's a unique combination of rum and spirits and squid ink.

Night is Dark and Full of Terrors
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. Demerara Simple Syrup
3 dashes Chocolate Bitters
1.5 oz. -or- 45 ml. El Dorado 3 year rum
10 drops of squid ink
Shake it, pour it
Soak a sugar cube in absinthe and burn it over the drink
Drop the melted cube in and stir
