Blood Moon Buck UNDONE

A Halloween buck with a blood-red float. UNDONE No. 3 NOT WHISKEY, lemon and gingerbread syrup are topped with Thomas Henry Ginger Ale, then finished with a thin band of No. 9 Red Torino aperitif that sits on top like a rising blood moon. Non-alcoholic, and built to be the drink everyone asks about at the party.

Spirit
Intermediate
Highball Glass

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz UNDONE No. 3 NOT WHISKEY
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 0.75 oz gingerbread syrup
  • Thomas Henry Ginger Ale, to top
  • 0.25 oz UNDONE No. 9 Red Torino Aperitif, floated
  • Garnish: lemon twist

Instructions:

  1. Add UNDONE No. 3 NOT WHISKEY, lemon juice and gingerbread syrup to a shaker
  2. Add ice and shake quickly for 5 seconds
  3. Strain into a highball glass over fresh ice
  4. Top with Thomas Henry Ginger Ale
  5. Hold a bar spoon upside down just below the rim and pour the No. 9 Red Torino over it so it floats
  6. Garnish with a lemon twist

Bartender’s Notes

The float is all about speed. Pour the Red Torino slowly over an upside-down bar spoon held just below the rim so it settles as a red band instead of sinking. No gingerbread syrup? Use 0.5 oz maple syrup with a pinch of ground ginger and cinnamon.
