Twisted Curse

Ep. 237 - Balak with Eliana Light:

Start off with 2 oz tequila for the original curse. If you don’t know why tequila represents curses, you’ve never had tequila. That’s not the first time I’ve made that joke and it probably won’t be the last.

Next up, ½ oz each Campari and grapefruit juice, for all the death at the end of the portion, ½ oz simple syrup, for the sweet blessing, and ½ oz lime juice as a nod to last year’s Sassy Mule. I really don’t think I’ll ever top that one.

Shake all that with ice and strain over fresh ice, garnishing with the titular twist of an orange rind.

For a non-alcoholic version, use 2 oz blood orange juice and 1 oz grapefruit juice. Blood orange can also be substituted for the grapefruit for those who cannot eat grapefruit.

Make one for you and one as a long-overdue apology to that donkey you kept beating.

L’chayim!
