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!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
