Killers of the Flower Moon Cocktail

Is there anything more relaxing than enjoying a new read, cocktail in hand? Well, maybe if that book and drink are in your hand on a beach… Either way, as you dive into David Grann’s Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI in preparation for the movie debut this fall, might we suggest enhancing the experience by sipping on our Moon Rising cocktail? (It’ll make a great addition to any viewing parties too!)

About Killers of the Flower Moon

This hit novel is the stranger-than-fiction true story of the beginnings of the FBI at the turn of the twentieth century. It’s a gripping tale of how the indigenous Osage people built wealth under their land, only to begin being killed off by nefarious forces. Martin Scorcese’s film adaptation clocks in at two and a half hours, so if you’re making this cocktail, make a batch and have a few, you’re in it for the long haul!
