With winter finally digging its claws in, there's nothing like a quality, spiced spirit to get you through those long, cold nights. Luckily, Baron Samedi — not only an Haitian voodoo spirit, but a spirit of the liquid kind too — is coming to your rescue.

Having popped up at Taylor's Rooftop in June, the good ghost is back and, this time, he'll be hitting the North Shore. You'll find him in residence at Lane Cove's Longueville Hotel, serving up cockle-warming cocktails featuring Baron Samedi Spiced, ginger beer, lime and bitters, as well as cups of Voodoo Punch.

We're afraid we'd be ruining the fun, were we to let you in on too many more specific details.But we will say that there will be drink specials and a few surprises along the way. So get on down the Longueville this winter and experience Baron Samedi Spiced for yourself.
