The Crowleyan

Ranked #12,243 in Culture & Society, #242,625 overall

Welcome

This lens is my tribute the the 'great beast' himself, the infamous Aleister Crowley.
The Prophet of the New Aeon of Thelema.
Thelema is Greek for 'Will', and this spiritual system does indeed exalt the higher Will of the individual.

“Let My Servants be few and secret:
they shall rule the many and the known”

Crowley's Cocktails

Aleister Crowley is today famous, or rather infamous, for his occultism and for the scandals surrounding the life of the 'wickedest man on earth'. But during his lifetime he was also well known for his many other talents. Anyone with an interest in Crowley knows that he was, for a while, a fairly prominent mountaineer. Not many people today, however, are aware that Crowley was also well known during his lifetime, at least in certain sections of society, for his talent of inventing and making intoxicating cocktails.

Crowley contributed cocktails to the lists of various public houses, including the Fitzroy Tavern, a pub in central London used by many of the most prominent socialites and celebrites of the time,(such as Dylan Thomas) for whom he created the 'Kubla Khan No.2'. This drink, now unfortunately illegal, consists of gin, vermouth and laudanum (opium dissolved in alcohol).

The use of drugs that are now illegal was something of a theme in his recipes, such as the 'Eagle Tail', which contained aged brandy, old kirsch, absinthe, a few drops of tabasco sauce, cracked ice, and syrup of ether (an anaesthetic which can cause hallucinations).

If you wish to try a Crowley cocktail yourself, however, here is one with all legal and still available ingredients: Soak rasberries in Grand Marnier overnight. Float in pink champagne.
