Save this if you want to have some fun and SPOOKY cocktails this weekend! ☝🏾⁠ ⁠ You KNOW I had to do a tutorial showcasing some delicious cocktails to accompany last week’s Char-SPOOK-erie Board! 👻⁠ ⁠ Here, we have a “Witches Brew” & “Nightmare on Bourbon Street” 😏⁠ ⁠ The “Witches Brew” is for my Mezcal lovers. It’s smokey, yet fruit-forward with its freshly muddled blackberries, and pomegranate juice. 🤤⁠ ⁠ While the “Nightmare on Bourbon Street” gives all the fall vibes thanks to the apple cider, cinnamon, and maple syrup. But don’t worry, it’s definitely not too sweet. 👌🏾⁠ ⁠ Here’s the recipe for both!⁠ ⁠ “Witches Brew”⁠ Ingredients:⁠ - 10 fresh blackberries⁠ - 3 fresh sage leaves⁠ - 1/2 oz agave nectar⁠ - 1/2 of one lime⁠ - 1 oz pomegranate juice⁠ - 2 oz mezcal (I used @ilegalmezcal Joven)⁠ - sage sprig for garnish ⁠ ⁠ Directions: ⁠ - Combine 6 blackberries, 3 sage leaves (torn up), agave, lime juice and muddle until blackberries are completely smashed.⁠ - Add ice, pomegranate juice, and mezcal and shake for 30-seconds or until the shaker begins to frost⁠ - Strain into a glass and garnish with remaining blackberries and a sprig of sage⁠ ⁠ “Nightmare on Bourbon Street”⁠ Ingredients:⁠ - ground cinnamon ⁠ - sugar⁠ - 2oz bourbon⁠ (I used @bulleit ) - 1 lemon⁠ - 1/4 cup apple cider⁠ - 1 - 2 tsp maple syrup (however much you prefer for more or less sweetness)⁠ - grated ginger⁠ - 3oz Hard Apple Cider⁠ - cinnamon sticks, sprig of rosemary, apple slices for garnish⁠ ⁠ Directions:⁠ - mix the ground cinnamon and sugar together and rim the glass⁠ - In a cocktail shaker, add bourbon, juice of lemon, apple cider, maple syrup, grated ginger and shake ⁠ - Add ice to the glass and strain mixture into it⁠ - Top with the Hard Apple Cider⁠ - Garnish with cinnamon sticks, rosemary, and apple slices! ✨⁠
