Recipe Box: Shark Attack Cocktail
Hi everyone! It’s Claire here with another installment of my food-inspired-by-film series…
Duh Duh. Duh Duh.
It’s crazy how those two notes can make you want to stay on the sand while your friends are off frolicking in the waves. Jaws is still one of those movies that strikes terror into swimmers every summer, standing the test of time—which in the horror genre, is no easy feat. The film’s minimalism, due to the faulty mechanical shark, creates a threatening unknown—always lurking and ready to strike. I dare you to watch this movie and go for a night swim.
So while you’re sitting beachside, avoiding the terror beneath the waves, here’s a cocktail to cool you off. A twist on the classic Zombie cocktail, this Shark Attack cocktail is sweet, smoky, and with a fresh burst of citrus to keep it refreshing. Enjoy!
