Spirited Spirits

As I've said before, this time of year is my favorite. I love the weather, I love the sights, I love the smells, I love the spooky tales, and I love the creepy cocktails... And so, your friendly neighborhood Geek thought he would share the love, (and, he's again to busy to write a real article, and he is strangly speaking in the third person).

Enjoy!

Voodoo Daiquiri

2 oz. Bourbon
1 oz. Everclear or Vodka
4 oz. Grape Juice
1 cup Crushed ice

Brain Hemmorage

1 oz. Peach Schnapps

2 drops Grenadine

Pour the Peach Schnapps into a large shot glass. Slowly add the Bailey's and top with the grenadine.

Devil’s Poison

1 oz. 151 Bacardi Rum

Fill a shaker with ice, pour the Jack Daniels and 151 Bacardi Rum into shaker and shake. Strain into a shot glass.

Santo's Sangria

2 bottles red wine, preferably Castille del Diablo or Sanguine del Toro.

There you have it, some of this Geek's favorite Halloween adult beverages.
