No, not the glittery vampire type, but the legit Twilight Zone. *cue the music*
Halloween is tomorrow and for a more refined way to celebrate, you could consider making these scotch based drinks – recipes (and a nice sample) provided by the good folks at Black Grouse.
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Chocolate is always a go to during Halloween, who thought you could incorporate into a whisky drink?
Ingredients
1oz Black Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky
2 dashes Chocolate bitters
0.5 oz maple syrup.
Combine ingredients in a shaker tin with ice, shake vigorously and strain into a short glass filled with fresh ice. Top with Guinness. Quick stir with a black rock candy stir stick.
Black Grouse Ghoul’s Delight
Easy and sweet, a good way to enjoy scotch for people like me who might find the taste of scotch on it’s own a little intense!
Ingredients
1oz Black Grouse Blended Scotch Whisky
0.5oz BOLS Blue Curacao
3oz orange juice
Combine ingredients in a shaker tin with ice, shake vigorously, strain into a tall glass with fresh ice. You can garnish it with gummy worms, or…I kinda like the look of Pop Rocks too.
Please note that I was sent a complimentary bottle of Black Grouse for review complete with recipes, however all opinions are my own.
Happy Halloween!
