Anna Jones and her husband, Robert Houston, set out to create spirits not offered in the local market and make items that complement other distilled products.
To achieve this, the couple founded 505 Spirits. Houston, who is the general manager at Total Wine in Santa Fe, keeps an eye on what is being created in New Mexico. Jones, who spent years as a pastry chef in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, uses her skills to help create flavor profiles.
The two songs may be the only hits with Monster in the title to have menaced the Hot 100 so far this decade, but there s a rich history of such frightening imaginary creatures dotting the chart s titles since its 1958 inception. The first and biggest of the bunch is, of course, Bobby Boris Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers Monster Mash. The Halloween perennial not only went to No. 1 for two weeks upon its original release in 1962, it also returned to the top 10 a decade later, peaking at No. 10 in August 1973. (Meanwhile, Pickett s sequel to the song, Monsters Holiday, peaked at No. 30 on the chart in January 1963.)
