Thanks to LAist for posting a great recipe for the classic Dia de Los Muertos drink, Marigold Offrend – courtesy of mixologist Christopher Bostick from The Varnish Bar, one of my favorite spots to guzzle in Downtown LA. If you’re still feeling loopy from yesterday’s parties, this cocktail is sure to give you kick!
