On this day in 1980, The Clash released their 3-disc album, Sandinista! What better way to mark that than a Sandinista! cocktail?

I had this to celebrate the release of Should I Stay or Should I Go on September 17 1982 (due to it being my funeral song of choice, and also there is a song Death is a Star on the Combat Rock album). I enjoyed it as written. The star anise really gives it a lot of punch, and I also think it would be interesting with mezcal, or possibly cachaça instead of pisco. Minor point - with three ounces of spirits, I think a 10.5 oz glass might be a bit big!

I agree that this needs another ounce of bourbon. It then becomes a good cocktail to celebrate the founding of Rome on April 21.

On this day in 1990, Twin Peaks aired for the first time, so I had a reverse-engineered Black Yukon Sucker Punch, that is drunk by Judge Sternwood and Sheriff Truman while Agent Cooper just looks at it in episode 5 of season 2. Here's the recipe:
