🧛‍♀️ The “Kiss of the Vampire” Cocktail: Thirsty Thursday (Halloween Part 1)

Get ready for the start of our Halloween cocktail trilogy with the “Kiss of the Vampire,” an exciting, spooky Whiskey Sour riff that’s perfect for your next Halloween party!  We’re kicking off Thirsty Thursday Episode 40 by putting a terrifyingly delicious spin on a classic.

🩸 The Recipe: A Bite of Flavor

This isn’t your grandma’s sour! We’ve crafted a cocktail with a deep, bloody color and an electrifying flavor profile:

  • 2 oz Four Roses Single Barrel (OESO): The bourbon‘s rich, dark red fruit notes are the perfect foundation for balance.
  • 1 oz Pomegranate Juice: For that essential tartness and vampire-approved crimson hue!
  • 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice: To perfectly balance the pomegranate and syrup.
  • 0.75 oz Demerara Syrup: Adding a rich, sweet backbone.
  • 3 Dashes Habanero Bitters: The spicy 🌶️ secret ingredient that delivers the “bite” from the vampire!

✨ The Thrilling Presentation

Watch as we make this Halloween cocktail truly spectacular:

  • We add black and red edible glitter and food coloring for a mesmerizing, creepy look.
  • The fee foam creates a beautiful head.
  • It’s served up in a coupe glass and finished with a dramatic bat pick and a sprinkle of extra glitter.

This is the ultimate fall cocktail for fans of bourbon cocktails and anyone looking for a craft cocktail that screams spooky season!

Thirsty Thursday Cocktails – Episode 24 – The Monte Whiskey Sour

Get ready for your new favorite sour! We’re diving deep into the Monte Whiskey Sour, a drink that takes everything you love about a classic whiskey sour and elevates it with incredible depth and aroma.

Our star bourbon, Four Roses OBSF, brings its unique high-rye spice and minty notes to the party, while Amaro Montenegro adds its signature orange, herbal, and subtly bitter charm. Forget plain sugar – we’re using Demerara syrup for a rich, caramel backbone that makes every sip sing.

And the foam? Silky Fee Foam gives you that beautiful, creamy texture without the egg. But the real secret weapon? Aromatic orange bitters for bright zest, and a touch of black walnut bitters for a surprising, earthy richness that will blow your mind. This is balanced, complex, and utterly delicious.
