Scary Good Feature
Get ready to be spellbound by our featured Halloween cocktail, The Witching Hour Smash!
This hauntingly delicious drink combines a smooth reposado tequila with tangy blood orange liqueur and zesty lime juice. A touch of agave syrup adds a whisper of sweetness, while the activated charcoal gives it an alluring dark hue.
Served over crushed ice and rimmed with black sugar, this cocktail is garnished with fresh blackberries and a sprig of mint for a pop of color. For an extra dash of whimsy, we’ve added tiny bat garnish (no bats harmed) to complete the eerie vibe.
Perfect for sipping in the spirit of the season, the Witching Hour Smash promises a night of mystery and delight! Cheers to a hauntingly good time!
