Spooky Sidecar Cocktail

Something about fall and the cooler months makes me really into cocktails. Spring and summer, I like to keep it simple, but all of the flavour options for fall get me inspired to actually mix something up, beyond a simple pour. With Halloween coming up, I thought a spooky-themed cocktail would be fun to drink while watching a scary movie!

Simply shake, pour, and enjoy with your favourite movie, maybe Hocus Pocus? Read on for the recipe and instructions – I doubled this easily to make two drinks, but you can scale up the proportions however you need to.

You can see my other cocktail recipes here, I’ll be adding more Christmas-themed ones soon!
