Party ghouls, it’s your time to shine. We reached out to local mixologist, Inga, of @cocktailsbyings for a new, dark and delicious drink for the adults this Halloween.
Inga says the “UNDEAD TOMBSTONE” features Neft Vodka for its crisp, smooth, clean flavor that enhances the crisp apple taste of apple cider. It’s spiced with some cranberry and cinnamon syrup to add depth and richness, in addition to a hint of lemon and egg white to add a frothy mouth feel. Finish it off with edible black glitter to add a little creepiness. And finally, garnish it with a dehydrated apple chip “tombstone” (from The Cocktail Garnish) and a skeleton stir stick for a drink to delight all your guests.
