This has been the wildest introduction to the supernatural.

Um, hello. My name is Aedan. I am new. I don't know anyone here, really, so if I make a mistake or accidentally do something wrong, please let me know! I'm a quick learner. But, um, I'm resident donut boy! I like baking things. So. Feel free to stop by for some donuts!

Any advice for a newbie around these parts?

I had the most vibrant vision last night while I was sleeping. Neon lights! Tall skyscrapers. Red lanterns. And the ocean. I was by the ocean. Perhaps this is where we are going next?

Ugh.

Mama? I hope you had a good time last night.

so is it gonna be this hot the whole time we're here?

i think i might die.

It’s that point in the leg of our journey where my blades are going in to be sharpened in earnest.

Always more fun when they’re super sharp.

So to kind of honour our newest location I will for our time here be making up several different cocktails to serve to all those willing to try something new.

• Indian Vodka Mojito - So as most of you know a traditional mojito is made of white rum, lime juice, sugar, club soda, and mint, but in this variation jal jeera is thrown into the mix. It’s a spice blend of roasted cumin, black pepper, dried mango powder, cayenne, ginger, and mint.
  
  
• Tamarind Ginger Margarita - In this version of the classic margarita, a combination of tamarind concentrate and ginger simple syrup is added to tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.
  
  
• Boozy Mango Lassi - A mango lassi is a great beverage full of complex flavors. The blend of mangoes, yogurt, buttermilk, kaffir lime syrup, and lime juice gives it such an interesting taste. Blend in some rum to the mix and you’ll get the perfect boozy drink to beat the summer heat.
  
  
• Nimbu Pani Mint Julep - Think of the nimbu pani as a crossover between a margarita and a mint julep. It has bourbon, mint leaves, simple sugar, lime, and seltzer water. Besides sugar and water, it also contains black Indian salt, which gives it a touch of saltiness.
  
  
• Indian Gin Cocktail - It’s a blend of lime juice, cinnamon syrup, apple juice, nutmeg, and Jaisalmer – a brand of Indian gin which is flavoured with eleven botanicals, including orange and lemon peel, Darjeeling green tea leaves, and lemongrass.

Any volunteers to be my guinea pigs while I perfect these?
