The Inspiration

I created a cocktail that embodied the spiritual essence of Amethon’s third album, “spectral abyss.” I started by considering the themes and emotions evoked by the album. The album was described as a journey into the unknown, exploring the darkness and light within. The opening track was a gateway into the abyss and set the tone for the album. The title track was a haunting soundscape that explored the darkness within the self. With these themes in mind, I considered using dark and mysterious ingredients in the cocktail, such as blackberries, dark chocolate, or activated charcoal, to evoke a sense of the unknown and the darkness within. The cocktail also had a cosmic or otherworldly theme, with ingredients such as blue curaçao or edible glitter to evoke the cosmic ambiance of the album. Finally, the cocktail had a haunting and evocative flavor and presentation that drew the drinker in and invited them to explore its depths, just as the album invited the listener to explore the depths of the self.

The Heritage

The “Spectral Symphony” Cocktail is similar to other cocktails that feature dark, mysterious ingredients such as blackberries or activated charcoal, such as the Blackberry Bourbon Sour or the Black Magic. These cocktails often feature a balance of sweet and tart flavors and a dark, mysterious color.

However, what makes the “Spectral Symphony” unique is its incorporation of blue curaçao and edible glitter, which give it a cosmic and otherworldly theme. The blue curaçao adds a unique touch to the flavor and the edible glitter adds a visual element that sets it apart from other cocktails. Additionally, the inspiration behind the Spectral Symphony, The Amethon’s third album “Spectral Abyss” and its themes of exploring the unknown and the darkness within, give this cocktail a unique and evocative story that others may not have.
