Take some spooky sips of these creative cocktails

By James Hills for Club LT

Halloween inspires creativity in all sorts of different ways. For some it is a time to dress up and pretend to be someone (or something!) else for a few hours. Others though just love all the fun food and drinks that come out for the season. Personally, I love all of the above but I especially enjoy the cool cocktails that people create. From spiked apple cider to elaborate horror-themed concoctions, here are some of my favorites from around the web:

Panadero Margarita

Ingredients:

2 oz Tanteo Chipotle Tequila

1 oz fresh lemon juice

¾ oz light agave nectar

1 oz pumpkin puree

Mixing:

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a hollowed mini-pumpkin. Garnish with freshly ground nutmeg and cinnamon.

Traverse City Apple Sour

 

 

Ingredients:

In a mixing tin add: 

 

 

1 egg white

 

 

¾ oz. fresh lemon juice

 

 

¾ oz. simple syrup

 

 

2 oz. Traverse City Michigan apple whiskey

 

 

Mixing:

 

 

Dry shake to incorporate the egg white, approximately 10 seconds.  

 

 

Add ice to tin and shake vigorously until fully chilled and diluted.  Approximately 15 seconds.  

 

 

Using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer, double strain the cocktail into a coupe glass.  

 

 

Garnish with 3 apple slices on a skewer.  

 

 

Pro tip:  keep your apple slices from getting brown by storing them in a little bit of simple syrup and lemon juice.  Use a mandolin for slicing, to get even pieces every time.

3 oz. fresh blood orange juice 

¾ fresh lime juice

Method: Rub the rim of an Old Fashioned glass (or whatever similar vessel you prefer to drink out of) with an edge of a blood orange slice. Swirl the rim through a small pile of kosher or sea salt to the rim. Combine a few cubes of ice into a salted glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass and enjoy.

NOTE: 1 basic simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of sugar dissolved in water. Example—one cup of sugar dissolved into  one cup water
