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!
