Midnight Martini

¾ oz Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream

½ oz. triple sec
½ oz. fresh lemon juice

Black licorice strings

Add all ingredients (except licorice) to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until cold and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with eight licorice string “legs” to give it a creepy effect.

Wicked Witch

Pour all ingredients into a Collins or highball glass over ice, stir. Garnish with lime wedge.

Hob Nob Wicked Red Punch

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; refrigerate for at least one hour. If available, add a large block of ice to the bowl. Stir well before serving and garnish glass with a sugar rim and orange slice.

They all sound so frightfully good! Which one will you make?

Happy Halloween!
