🧙♀️ The “Witching Hour Sour!” A Dark & Delicious Halloween Cocktail! 🥃
Welcome to Thursday Thirsty Cocktails, Episode 41! Tonight, for Halloween Part 2 of 3, we’re stirring up a truly enchanting drink: The Witching Hour Sour!
This isn’t your average cocktail. We’ve taken a classic sour and given it a complex, spirit-forward twist perfect for your spooky celebrations. With a beautiful deep purple hue thanks to the Crème de Cassis, this drink is as mesmerizing to look at as it is delicious to sip.
🌟 Featured Ingredients & Flavor Profile
We’re starting with Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon—chosen for its big notes of brown sugar and cinnamon, making it a fantastic and affordable base spirit.
- The Color & Tartness: Black Currant Liqueur (Crème de Cassis) delivers a vibrant purple and a delicious sweet-yet-tart flavor.
- The Spice & Smoke: We’re adding a hint of warming Demerara Syrup and 4 dashes of Bonfire Bitters (they’re more smoky than spicy!) to make you feel like you’re standing over a witch’s cauldron!
- The Silky Finish: Fee Foam gives this Bourbon Sour its signature silky texture and beautiful white foam top.
🎬 Make the Witching Hour Sour Step-by-Step
