Fall drink flavors for fun festivities
While there’s nothing particularly scary about fall produce, you’ll want to utilize the season’s best in your cocktails for particularly tasty drinks — the same way you do in the kitchen. In October, that means apples and cranberries, as well as earthy herbs like thyme and rosemary. Of course, you can incorporate plenty of pumpkin and baking spices too, as they pair perfectly with the barrel and roasted agave notes in Don Julio Reposado Tequila , mezcals or bourbon .
Petrifying palette: Green, orange, and purple cocktails
Make your own “potions” with neon green, bright red and deep blue cocktails for an especially spooky aesthetic this Halloween. To achieve them, use brightly colored liqueurs like grenadine or blue curacao or absinthe, which is typically bright green. Then, go equally bold with the garnishes: scorch a dried blood orange so that it appears wilted or drop a rich, burgundy maraschino cherry into the bottom of a cocktail glass for a blood-red libation. For a little inspiration, try this Witch’s Margarita with Casamigos tequila — complete with a witchy green color thanks to melon liqueur.
