Halloween-y Drink

I don't know why this seems spooky and Halloween-y to me, but it does. Maybe it's the weird combination. And tequila's just scary. Or the Amaretto, which is a very goth or vampirey liquor to me. It's a strangely fancy and old fashioned ingredient. Could be the musketeer on the label, but that's how I feel about it. A baroque spirit, maybe?

Absinthe would seem even more appropriate, but I don't have any of that around here.

So anyways, here's a tasty and weird Halloween-y cocktail for you.

and it's super easy.

1.5 oz amaretto
1.5 oz tequila
toss in a maraschino cherry
add a few ice cubes

I've added vampire teeth shaped ice cubes, because we have them.
And they come in a coffin shaped ice cube tray. Very spooky.

For those of you liking my Halloween theme, I'll also point out the blood red yarn in the photo. I'm finally getting somewhere on my Plucky Capelet, and hope to have it done in a week or so. And the yarn is this gorgeous, deep, deep, deeeeeep red. I'm gonna say bloody for now. (Near the holidays, I'll switch to cranberry, another good drink ingredient...)

Very appropriate for any holiday! Anyways, Happy Halloween :-)
