the grim reaper is death with a capital d. he is perhaps the most recognized ent-ty of all time, neither ghost nor god; the grim reaper is a psychopomp who’s job is to conduct the souls of the recently dead into the afterlife. he is often depicted as a tall pale skeletal figure shrouded in a long, dark, black hooded cloak wielding a scythe which he uses to harvest souls with, although some accounts say he just touches the person to pop their soul so they don’t feel pain when they die. when he moves, he seemingly glides rather than walking. the grim reaper is known for not saying much, always having a grin on his face, and of course being the main focus of attention in whatever room he is in. he is able to turn his head completely around a la linda blair so that he can survey his domain; the reaper must be vigilant lest someone try to cheat him.

he rides in a rickety old coach drawn by white horses that makes a god awful noise due to the stones he carries in it. when he takes someone’s soul, he drops off a stone. the grim reaper is not an omnipresent personification of death in charge of the entire world, but rather each area has their own grim reaper who serves as the grim reaper of the area until such a time as they find a replacement.

decorations of him haunt tombs and graves, often with the engraving of “rich man, poor man, beggar and thief…you will one day be were i am.” in some artwork the grim reaper is portrayed locked in embrace of life (often pictured as a young woman.) the point is that life and death are connected and that life is as fleeting as the sweet bloom of youth.

the grim reaper is a c-cktail popularised in early 2011 made with equal parts vodka, gin, tequila and cask wine. the mix is traditionally made with mishka, gordon’s, 125 and fruity lexia respectively.
the ingredients are known as the four hors-m-n of the apocalypse.

the spirits are meant to be the cheapest possible in order to replicate the authenticity of the grim reaper. variations upon this formula include the fancy reaper (expensive spirits and wine), the bl–dy reaper (subst-tute white goon with red) and the grim suicide (3 full bottles in a cask of wine).

served as four shots straight up in the one gl-ss, usually consumed as quickly as possible for maximum intoxication. some connoisseurs of the grim prefer to sip the beverage while curled up next to the fire with a good book. the grim reaper also gives way to the drinking game ‘grims til you munt’.
