Another day in October, another Halloween Cocktail recipe. Yes, they just keep coming, and if only they all had an 80% spoof content… *sigh*

This week’s is a bit of a rush job for two reasons.

1) I left it until Friday morning to think up; and

2) I was trying to figure out a way to get rid of the remaining liter of white grapefruit juice from last week’s cocktail, because I’m not much of a white grapefruit fan.Glass: Highball

Ingredient:

• Dash of bitters
• 30ml Hendricks Gin
• 15ml Glayva
• 15ml Black Sambucca
• 180ml white grapefruit juice

Method: Pour a dash or two of bitters over the ice, then build the drink. Gin, then the herbal, followed by sambucca. Allow the grapefruit juice to just splash in, letting it basically mix itself. This will give the drink varying intensity of flavour depending what part the drinker is up to. If they want to mix it through, they can do it themselves with the straw or garnish.

Garnish: Personally, I like the idea of putting two candy eyeballs on a toothpick over the top, to make it over the top.

If you must have something practical though, I suppose some cucumber slices (vertical, not horizontal) would go a ways, especially if you used Lebanese cucumbers. They look all warty, and some people find that they produce a mild numbing sensation on the tongue and lips… Very witchy potiony kinda thing there. Some people have suggested putting mint in there, but frankly, if you’re willing to mix mint and citrus, you deserve the foul taste that will ensue.
