The Warlock: A Halloween Cocktail that’s Spooky Good

Not sure what to serve up at this year’s Halloween fright fest (serve up to the adults, that is: the kids get all the candy they can eat. By the way, for other Halloween party fun, check out the Amazon Halloween Store)? Or, are you looking for a signature cocktail to serve the next time you invite friends over for a night of bloodcurdling horror movies featuring Christopher Lee? Let me introduce you in the below video to the perfect mix for these situations, the chilling (well, chilled, at least) cocktail called the Warlock. Featured in my new book Dark Spirits, the Warlock combines brandy, Italian favorites Strega and limoncello, freshly squeezed orange juice, and Peychaud’s bitters, with an end result that has a bit of a kick and lots of flavor. One warning: the Warlock might turn you into a sorcerous zombie. But that’s a risk worth taking.
