Pirate Drink for this Weekend's Film Premier: Daily Beast Taps us for a Recipe


We loved it when Brody Brown sent along the film trailer to us for this weekend's new Pirates of the Carribean on Stranger Tides movie and asked what cocktail we'd create to emulate this new flick. A spicy Dead Man's Chest is what we're sipping this weekend. Thank you Daily Beast for the call from all of us at Spur and Tavern Law.

Click on blog title above to read the story which reads in part, "An undoubtedly delicious drink might be made to taste like the main pirate of this film, who also happens to be frequently lauded as the sexiest man alive?

With so many options, it’s best to leave it to the professionals and thus why we’ve enlisted the aid of Dana Tough and Brian McCracken, co-chefs and co-owners of Spur and Tavern Law in Seattle. “A pirate’s hold was prized if it included exotic spices—a costly luxury back then,” says Tough. “We capture the magnetism that spices held for pirate bandits like Captain Sparrow with the Tasmanian peppercorn syrup that adds a spice and tells a story.”

“Ingredients like falernum bring a depth of variety of spice that a successful raid by these bandits would have procured. Our cocktail may have a laundry list of ingredients, but that’s why it’s named the Dead Man’s Chest,” adds McCracken.”"
