The fall menu for Barkeep (1121 N Walker) is here, and its theme is drawn from The Craft, the 1996 brain-candy delight about teenage witches. Owner-bar genius Julia McLish offered us the recipe, and the photo is from whiskey expert-photographer Kris Kettner. Proportions are in ounces unless otherwise indicated.
