Poisoned Orchard Cocktail

This week's adult Halloween recipe...

Whether you are having a Halloween party or

just want to curl up on the couch, have a drink and watch

scary movies here's a drink you can enjoy.

What you'll need:

Dark rum

Apple brandy

Cran-apple juice

Lemon juice

Apples

Water

Sugar

Cinnamon sticks

Cloves

Cardamom

Ginger beer

Cinnamon and sugar for garnish

Dry ice (optional)

Create:

Before you make your cocktail you need to make

the apple spice syrup and give it time to steep.

In a small saucepan, combine two sliced apples

with water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves

and cardamom. Cook the mixture until the sugar

dissolves and let it steep. After it steeps a while,

strain the mixture and now your apple spice syrup is ready.

With this recipe that I found it doesn't say how

much liquor to use, so pour as much or as little as you want.

If you are just making a few cocktails at a time, add

the apple syrup, dark rum, apple brandy, cran-apple juice,

lemon juice and ice to a cocktail shaker. Give it a few

good shakes and pour into glasses, top it off with

ginger beer and a small piece of dry ice if you are using it.

Garnish with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

If making for a party, mix everything together in a punch

bowl and chill. Right before serving add the ginger beer

and the dry ice again if you are using it. Have a bowl with

a spoon and put

Cinnamon and sugar mixture into

it to garnish drinks with.

Enjoy!

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations.
