Death From Above | Cocktail Party

Death From Above

Death From Above is a tiki-styled recipe from Thomas Waugh at Death & Co that makes use of three different styles of rum, each one adding a new layer of flavor and complexity. Even with the split rum base, sherry-enhanced sweetener, two bitters, and two garnishes, it still feels like a classic, refined Old Fashioned-style sipper.

Waugh calls for Lemon Hart 151 for the overproof rum, Scarlet Ibis for the dark or aged rum, and Cruzan Black Strap for the black rum. All of these are potent, flavorful choices – if you make substitutions, be sure they’re of similar mettle.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
