Here's just the thing to help you keep your cool and have fun too. Los Angeles mixologist Rob Floyd (of Bar Centro, in PEOPLE hot spot the SLS Hotel) has created a drink called the Living Shadow that combines the tartness of red grapes and lemon juice with spicy Basil Hayden's bourbon. To honor the show's disturbing tone, the libation is topped off with an eerie red wine float.
