With Halloween coming up, one of the Caribbean’s leading resorts, Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Resort, has unveiled a cocktail inspired by a local ghost.

It’s called Sam’s Cocktail, inspired by the Antigua resort’s resident “Jumbie,” the Antiguan term for spirits of people who have been trapped in a state of limbo or purgatory.

According to local legend, Sam Payne is a Jumby who likes to hang around the resort’s Estate House.

The cocktail will put you at ease, however, with a mix of rum and some sweet spices and treats.

Here’s how to make it.

Sam’s Cocktail

Spiced rum, with its notes of cloves, allspice, and vanilla, is complemented by comforting fall flavors of spicy cinnamon, sweet, rich maple syrup, and warming apple cider.
