Assistant
General Manager Mark Lopez is the mischievous mastermind behind this season’s
chilling mixology menu. With more than 25-years of experience, Lopez pours his
soul into creating every cocktail recipe, always using the highest quality
spirits, homemade mixers and all-natural ingredients. Inspiration for this
season’s menu draws upon Lopez’ love for Halloween and his fascinating interest
in horror films.
The
Demon is a Liar
This monstrous
cocktail mixes Coldcock American herbal flavored whiskey with Ogden’s Own
Underground handcrafted herbal spirit, Marilyn Manson’s Mansinthe and
Bittermens citrus bitters.
Lopez
describes the taste as “herbal and smooth.” He anticipates the flavor of this
cocktail will be something new for guests due to the unique pairing of the
whiskey with the Underground herbal spirit, which makes for a beautiful
combination. The inspiration for this cocktail was a line in The Exorcist, “He
will lie to confuse you, but he will mix lies with the truth.”
Mark
of the Beast
Devil’s
Share bourbon, Paddy Devil’s Apple liqueur, Angry Orchard hard cider and Bar
Keep organic apple bitters make up this fall favorite.
This
refreshing cocktail has a bold apple flavor that embodies autumn’s signature
harvest and notorious forbidden fruit. The inspiration comes from the original
movie version of The Omen where Damian wore the mark of the beast on his scalp.
Unforgiven
There
will be no excuse not to try this fiery libation, made with Stoli Jalapeno
vodka, Rogue Chipotle Spirit, Ancho Reyes Ancho Chile Liqueur and homemade
habanero simple syrup.
Lopez
explains, even though this drink is comprised of four different peppers –
jalapeno, chipotle, ancho and habanero – it’s not as scary as it may seem. “The
sweetness of the simple syrup hits your tongue first with a spice that lingers
for a taste that’s surprisingly smooth.” This cocktail was inspired by the flames
of the inferno.
Fallen
Angel
Angel’s
Envy bourbon, Sweet Revenge wild strawberry liqueur, macerated strawberries and
rhubarb bitters will have everyone head-over-heels for this cocktail.
The
key ingredient for this drink is an irresistible combination of strawberries
and rhubarb. “Sweet Revenge is a unique wild strawberry “sour mash” that will
treat taste buds to a new experience,” explains Lopez.
When
creating the menu, Lopez spent a lot of time researching liquors that featured
devilish characteristics and developing recipes that blended well while
sticking to his overall theme. His vision was to take it one step further and
offer a meaningful cocktail menu that would offer his guests a completely new
experience. Although it took several months to create the Halloween menu, Lopez
explains, “The end result was exactly my vision.”
