Halloween was the theme for our online gang this month, and if you know me, you know I’m not a Halloween person. I’m already looking to Christmas, after all. But others love it, and it was the theme chosen, and so I duly searched for drinks that might be spooky or scary or something.
Let me say this: a lot of the recipes I most readily came upon were appallingly sweet. Blech. It took some doing to find things I likely had ingredients for and that didn’t sound like sugar bombs.
Round one was just me and Van - Conrad had a work function to be at.
The green cocktail was his, the Mystery Machine. Muddled dill gave it that colour. I tasted it, and it was a little off to me. Van enjoyed it, however. The tall cocktail was mine, the Skeleton Key. A variation on a mule using bourbon but also St Germain. Tasty enough!
Conrad made it home for round two, and I made us all the same thing, the El Diablo,
which was a cross between a margarita and a mule. I think I liked this one most. It was a pretty drink, too. Olive said hello to the folks on the call.
Next month will be birthdays, so a wide open theme that celebrates the three among our number who will be marking new ages!
