Channel Your Inner Goth with This Squid Ink Cocktail

You may not see Robert Smith sipping piña coladas on a Cancun sun lounger, but that doesn’t mean goths can't enjoy a summer cocktail.

You may not see Robert Smith sipping piña coladas on a Cancun sun lounger, but that doesn't mean goths can't enjoy a summer cocktail.

So thank Satan for The Black Pearl: a drink that is both sunshine-appropriate and fitting with the perpetual gloom of our own mortal existence.

RECIPE: The Black Pearl

This dark concoction comes from Nicolas Baptiste, mixologist at Experimental Beach on the decidedly sunny island of Ibiza. Despite working in a bar that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and probably has its own Kygo remix playlist, Nico gets what these goths are about. His combination of Fernet Branca, fresh lime, and jet-black squid ink is as deep and moody as it is refreshing.

Just don't forget to keep the SPF 60 topped up.
