An original poem toasting all those with a thirst for mischief here on the eve of Halloween…
Occult Beverages
By Joe Nazare
Six tips for homely brewers in the late October:
Go for potency always
Attempting to level most is level best
Disregard freshness
Moldering ingredients will only improve this batch
Stir religiously
Being careful not to burn over an open flame
Pour straight from pot to goblet
Chilling before serving gets the order wrong
Garnish garishly
Skewered eye of newt is quite catching
Lastly, savor their every moue of distaste
After all your toil and trouble, you can sit back for a spell
