Who says Hallowe'en is only for kids (and yes, I'm sticking with that apostrophe)? Come overleaf with me for a few delicious, delightful, horrifying, scary drinks with something of the night about them. Very much the kind of cocktails Michael Howard might have, just like, with his dinner or something...
1. Brain Haemorrhage
1/2 - 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps
Float 1-2 Tbl. of Baileys on top
Drop 1 tsp of grenadine through the Baileys.
Found here - and apparently it "tastes like peaches and cream" - but they say everything always tastes weird when there's something wrong with your brain don't they...
2. Ghost
1 1/2 oz. Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka
1/4 oz. Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
1/4 oz. Half-and-Half
1/4 oz. Simple Syrup
1/4 oz. Shavings of White Chocolate
Fill shaker with ice. Add Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, half-and-half, and simple syrup. Shake. Strain into chilled martini glass rimmed with white chocolate
Garnish with white chocolate shavings
Found here.
3. Black Cat
1 oz. Kahlúa
2 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka
1/4 oz. sambuca
Espresso beans for garnish
This one looks particularly delicious. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with three espresso beans.
