Ingredients:

2 oz bourbon (we used Maker’s Mark)
.5 oz Fresh lime juice
Ginger beer

Ice

Directions:

Add the bourbon and lime juice to a Moscow Mule mug or a highball glass. Fill the mug or glass with ice and top with ginger beer.

Our news from around Disney’s world has us going from AP celebrations and haunted tiki mugs at the Disneyland Resort to Sorcerer Supremes and toddler security at Walt Disney World and straight to your local theater for trailers and movies!

Haunted Mansion Subscription Box #3 – Disney Distilled One Shots

Audio July 14, 2016 admin Leave a comment

Greetings Distillers! It’s another Disney Distilled One-Shot.

Our final Ghost Post arrived in June, and here we are with another One-Shot for you! Enjoy our review of the 3rd Haunted Mansion Subscription Box with a drink of your own. (we chose whiskey and blackberry brandy)

During this session, we also learned we would be getting a special “thank you” parcel from the ghosts of the Haunted Mansion. We can’t wait to see what it is.

If you haven’t, be sure to listen to the first and second reviews also check out the Ghost Relations Department!

Here are some photos of ghostly pieces that came in our final parcel:

hmbox09 — The Ghost Viewer uses the iPhone as a pepper’s ghost effect and the Singing Busts come to “life”.

hmbox10 — A side shot of the Ghost Viewer. The effect was fantastic and worked beautifully once put together.

hmbox11 — A saucer to go with the mirrored cup sent in Box #1. A ghostly message is written along the border.

hmbox12 — A pack of 52 playing cards from Madame Leota’s tarot deck. Each of the images had modified wallpaper icons. Ingenious.

hmbox13 — The spirit board. Using the bat stanchion from the first box, you help Madame Leota spell out the secret incantation.

hmbox14 — While this item didn’t quite work as intended, it is a prime example of rudimentary animation, in fine Disney tradition.
