ALT Vintage pirate-style parchment recipe card titled “SoTFest Ghostly Grog”. The background resembles aged paper with torn, burnt-style edges and dark brown decorative text. Text on the image reads: “SoTFest Ghostly Grog A golden SoTFest brew that transforms into ghostly grog when mixed. A shimmering tribute to Phantoms, Legends, and any pirate brave enough to witness its ghostly reveal INGREDIENTS 1 ounce lemon juice 1 ounce pineapple juice 2 ounces spiced rum 3–4 ounces ginger beer 1/2 ounce blue curaçao Pinch of salt Ice Got a clear glass tankard on hand? Good...get it ready with plenty of ice. Now grab your trusty shaker, add ice, rum, lemon juice, pineapple juice and salt. Give it a proper shaking and strain into your tankard. Now top it off with ginger beer. Take the half ounce of blue curaçao and slowly pour over the top, careful not to combine just yet. Top it with a slice of lemon and that fancy SoTFest stirrer. Stir only when ready to accept that final Lizalaroo Blessing.
