We tried a crazy cocktail this year.
Throughout the night we had been referring to the web for new cocktail ideas. We found a few nice ones (which I will report on in another post).
However, one of them really intrigued us. It’s called cursed water, and the reason why it was so interesting is because it contained hot tea!
“TEA?!” you say! Yep, we were as shocked as she is.

Every year, as with everything else, I like to go that little extra when it comes to getting my halloween beers for all Hallows Eve.
Although I do love my Halloween cocktails, I think it’s important to start with beer to ease yourself in to the alcohol and prevent yourself from having to go to bed before midnight because the room is spinning.
This year, I managed to find a couple of nice Belgian beers, one decent English one, and I even had the pleasure of tasting some Canadian beer, brought over especially.
Thought that I would add a couple of ‘punches’, as not everyone likes cocktails and shots.
The best thing about punch is that you can serve it in something very cool like an imitation cauldron.

4 cinnamon sticks
16 allspice berries
6 inch square cheesecloth

I thought it would be good to get some recipes for shots (shooters) onto the blog, so here are some of my favourites:
Brain Hemorrhage/Monkey’s Brains
There are a few different recipes for this, as there are different names for it.
It’s always great if you want to drink something that tastes decent, but looks horrible.
It does taste good, honest.
The traditional ingredients are as follows:
1/2 – 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps
1-2 Tbl. of Irish cream liqueur
1 tsp of grenadine.

There are loads of sites out there that have cocktail recipes. And some of them even dare to post special Halloween cocktails. Which is pretty cool.
However, in my experience they’re often flawed. One of the bigegst problems being that you need to go out and buy a load of very specific ingredients, which is expensive, and wasteful (if you don’t use them after Halloween).
Therefore, I have decided to post cocktails that I have tried and tested!
Here’s the first couple.
