Fall is in the air and Halloween will be here before we know it! Here are a few spooky cocktail recipes to get you in the Halloween spirit.
The Witches Heart
Ingredients:
- 1 jigger apple brandy or apple vodka chilled

- Pour 1 tsp of grenadine syrup, about an inch from the surface of the drink – the grenadine should sink to the bottom, creating a “bleeding” effect.
