Earthy is definitely the word that comes to mind in this flavourful fall sipper. Originally I was calling it the Gravedigger Grog, but I kept specifically picturing buddy from Zelda, so I renamed it in his honour. Recommended brands: •The Newfoundland Distillery Co. Chaga Rum •Rhum Saint James rhum agricole ambre •NL Distillery Co. bitters

Craft Tiki Cocktails

Home bartender based in St. John's, Newfoundland. Like many, I got into this hobby-turned-obsession-turned-side gig during the pandemic, and it's been a journey! I have a passion for tiki classics and modern exotic cocktails, especially when I can infuse them with spirits and quality ingredients from the East Coast of Canada.

Editor's Note

Pumpkin seed orgeat and forest-floor bitters transform this grog into a savory, autumnal study in earthiness. A masterclass in thematic ingredient selection.
