I’ve got a new drink for you! Cocktails are quite a hit on my site, and I think it’s because I love to combine them with movies, holidays or general nerdiness. When Chase and I snuggled down during the recent cold snap, I knew we were going to binge the latest something, but I wasn’t prepared for him to turn on Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them so I could catch up… My head turned faster than Newt Scamander’s while he’s searching for the Niffler.

OH MY! This cocktail sounds absolutely FANTASTIC! I love a rum drink but you’ve done so much more. Shimmer dust and dry ice really take this over the top!

Although I’m not a fan of green drinks, this looks intriguing. Plus Blue Curaçao never does me wrong!
