Profile
The Mummy is a light, fizzy vodka drink with a spooky name and a refreshingly simple build. Vodka, triple sec and a little lemon juice go straight into a glass over ice, then get topped with club soda and stirred. It is clean, citrusy and easy to make for a crowd.
Think of it as a lighter, bubblier cousin of the Kamikaze. The triple sec brings sweet orange, the lemon adds a bright, tart edge, and the soda stretches it all out into something you can sip through a long night of trick-or-treaters. On a Halloween menu full of sweet and heavy drinks, it is a nice palate cleanser.
Glass: Old fashioned glass | Strength: Medium | Serves: 1 | Prep Time: 2 minutes
Bartenders tip: Build it in the glass and add the soda last so it keeps its fizz. Fresh lemon juice beats bottled every time. For a spooky presentation, wrap the glass in a strip of white gauze or cheesecloth before serving, which turns it into a little mummy on the table.
Steps
