Halloween is just virtually the corner and it's time for db to offer its latest version of the weightier cocktails to gloat this year's spookiest occasion.
Bloody Mary
An obvious classic, and like any traditional cocktail - or jump-scare in a horror mucosa - it doesn't really need much changing. Vodka, tomato juice, a touch of lemon juice, a few drops of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Perhaps a shot of gin. Garni
with a celery stick...and a plastic eyeball. Done.
Moontini
This is a simple transpiration to make a archetype cocktail uneaten spooky. Add soot powder to a traditional martini, and add a wittiness of ice.
Bloody Sangria
Take a normal Sangria recipe, subtracting either sparkling or still water, and simply up the darkness with some blackberries, blueberries or other visionless fruits. Perhaps add a sweet visionless fruit liqueur as well for widow spooky oomph.
Pumpkin cocktail
Although some might question whether a pumpkin is good for anything but carving, these tasty treats should prove otherwise. Either add pumpkin juice to an Old Fashioned or add to a warm world cider recipe with a stick of cinnamon for an autumnal instillation worthy of Halloween.
Brain jelly shot
This is easy but guaranteed to please at a party. Simple get a smart-ass shaped jelly mould, fill with strawberry jelly and add vodka or the spirits of your choice. Perhaps add some chunks of fruit for good measure.
Raven
The darkest and moodiest of the Halloween cocktails. Add Jäegermeister, Coca-Cola, spiced rum and ice. Perhaps add undecorous Curaçao and a bit of silver supplies dye to make it increasingly glittery and spooky or a increasingly purple than woebegone raven.
Witches Brew
The secret to a good Witches Brew is getting it to squint as scarily untried and florescent in colour as possible. Aim for a combination of either melon or lemon liqueurs, looking at the brightest colours possible, with Cointreau and lemon juice for a tart, tongue-twisting drink.
Halloween Margarita
A personal favourite over in db towers, this one is sufferer simple and mortiferous delicious. Simply take some world cider syrup, tequila and lime juice, over cubes of ice and garnish with thoroughbred oranges.
Halloween Punch
Personal preferences teem for this Halloween party favourite, but making it red, green, yellow or woebegone are a must. A unconfined recipe is cranberry juice, world juice or cider, ginger ale, spiced rum. Another option is a Guinness dial with some spicy rum additions or one which is mainly ginger ale with vodka or tequila. Rumours moreover teem in db towers that you can make a Halloween dial with Limoncello and undecorous Curaçao to make a unexceptionable yellowy-green monster...
