Cocktail Hour: The Dra-Kahlua

I love Halloween. Any excuse to break out the facepaints and wear a costume of some kind. But as we’ve said before, seasonal accessories and decorations can seem a bit silly once the holiday’s over. So instead of spending my hard-earned pennies on plastic skulls and novelty ice cubes with beetles, insects and other beasties embedded in them, instead I’m going for the – ahem – far more sensible option and celebrating Halloween with copious amount of liquor, a pair of Minnie Mouse ears and a ridiculous polka-dot frock. So, instead of splashing the cash on tacky decorations that will just be binned on November 1st, may I suggest getting into the party spirit (pun intended, of course) with some gore-themed food and booze?

My own personal favourite is the wittily titled Dra-Kahlua (I didn't come up with the name, so don't blame me!), which tastes of Terry’s chocolate oranges and is dangerously more-ish. The black colour means it’s goth enough to serve at Halloween, but it’s a tad more sophisticated than gory blood-punch with fake eyeballs floating in it (though there’s nothing wrong with that, if that’s what you’re into).

What you’ll need is:
1 ½ oz. Kahlua
½ oz. Cognac
½ oz. Cointreau
¾ oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ oz. simple syrup

What you’ll need to do is:

Combine in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake, shake, shake, strain and then serve. Easy! Now all I need to do is rummage in the dressing-up box, backcomb my hair and dig out the Rocky Horror Show boxset, and I’ll be done….
