Our final deadly sin, rounding out this devilish journey is Fornicatio aka Lust, the inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. In Dante’s Inferno, unforgiven souls of the sin of lust are blown about in restless hurricane-like winds symbolic of their own lack of self-control to their lustful passions in earthly life. Your punishment? To be smothered in fire and brimstone. Not kisses.
For this cocktail created by Premier Beverage’s master Mixologist Nick Nistico, he brought out the coveted golden pineapple.
Blood Lust
2 oz Stoli Elit
3 oz Fresh Pineapple
1 oz Tuaca Vanilla Liquor
Shake with ice and strain over ice into glass
Def Leppard’s tune Animal is playing as I write this: A wild ride, over stony ground. Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town. We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid. Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame. Oh, I burn for you. I gotta feel it in my blood, whoa, oh I need your touch don’t need your love, whoa, oh. And I want, and I need, and I lust, animal. And I want, and I need, and I lust, animal. With that we end our journey. Special thanks to Nick Nistico and Jason Leidy, my partners for this sinfully fun project.
