A Dune-inspired cocktail to celebrate the upcoming film. A daiquiri variation fit for a ruthless Baron’s hedonism. An obscene amount of angostura bitters provides a unique frothy head, beautiful color, and almost salty bitterness brought to heel by over-proofed Jamaican rum spice and the classic citrus-sugar partnership of lime and simple syrup. A spritz of absinthe and the gom jabbar-inspired lime crown allude to the sinister scheming of the Harkonnens. The color, texture, and hint of anise make it perfect for a political dinner party on Arrakis. “He who controls the spice controls the universe.” Born from a mistake where I added 3/4 oz ango to a recipe that called for “3/4 dashes.” Happy little accidents.
