"FOOOOLS!", rattles a voice emanating from the bowels of a black treasure chest that you stumbled upon. It just so happens that you have a key that opens the lock, so, why not open it? Be warned, for should you find yourself doing this, your fate may involve contortions and abilities previously considered impossible for a three-dimensional being such as yourself. Imagine flipping upside down, in the fourth-dimension... Yea... sounds pretty awesome! And oddly terrifying... The Legend The leg...

Brew 4 oz of black tea and allow it to cool slightly. While tea boils, rinse a glass with absinthe. After the tea has brewed and you’ve finished your adventure, add a large ice cube to the glass. Add the tea first, and then other ingredients. Save the charcoal powder for last, taking care not to add too much. Add eyes and a mouth and ask what wicked Curse is in store for you.

Editor's Note

Black tea and a bitter amaro create a dark, tannic base in this low-ABV sour. An absinthe rinse and charcoal powder complete the moody, video game-inspired theme.
