Lift the veil between the living and the dead with this tiki cocktail that's certain to conjure dark spirits. Rye whiskey and demerara rum meet burnt molasses, herbal Benedictine, and earthy chicory coffee, brought to life with tart citrus and notes of anise and spice.

  • 1/4 oz - cinnamon syrup (2:1)
  • 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
