Cure scurvy in style with this citrus-packed cocktail! A splash of squid ink keeps the oceanic theme afloat, turning the drink a deep, inky black, ideal for spooky nights or Halloween gatherings. But don’t worry, if the ink feels a bit too adventurous, you can skip it and still enjoy all the vibrant, tangy goodness this cocktail has to offer.
Setting a nautical ambiance or embracing the eerie spirit of the night, this drink promises bold flavors with a playful twist.
Drawing inspiration from the mythical creatures of American folklore and the creative spirit of old-school taxidermists, this cocktail blends tradition with imagination. Its ingredients evoke the rugged charm of the Old West, making each sip a nostalgic journey back to campfire nights under open skies.
For the best experience, mix it with a smooth wheated bourbon and don’t skimp on the bitters, yes, all three dashes!
A smoky rendition of the tiki classic, the Zombie cocktail. This version highlights the harmonious pairing of aged tequila and aged rum, creating a rich and complex flavor profile. The smoky undertones elevate the drink, adding depth and intrigue to every sip.
This autumn-inspired, spooky twist on a classic zombie cocktail is just what you need! With a dash of activated charcoal, it delivers an eerie black hue, without affecting the flavor, making it an ideal centerpiece for any Halloween gathering.
Activated charcoal may sound unusual, but it has almost no taste, allowing the drink's vibrant flavors to shine. Note: activated charcoal can decrease how much medicine the body absorbs, so if you or a guest is taking prescription meds, it's best to avoid or wait an hour after taking.
This wintery tiki cocktail channels the spirit of the mythical great ape said to roam the snowy peaks of the Himalayas. It’s cozy, yet exotic blend is perfect for chilly nights. For an extra layer of depth, try experimenting with different teas. This cocktail brings both worlds together in one adventurous sip.
