Halloween is not just for the kids. Us adults need a treat too, right?! And what better way to give yourself a treat than enjoying a delicious Halloween cocktail? Halloween cocktails are a must-have for any Halloween party. Even if you’re not hosting a party, surely us frazzled parents deserve a Halloween cocktail after getting the kids back from trick-or-treating!
A Halloween cocktail is a great way to get into the spirit of things. With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to get your cocktail game on point. Thanks to the lovely folk at Independent Wine, I’ve found the perfect Halloween Daiquiri Recipe, Trentino daiquiri with banana and blueberry eyeball to garnish.
This drink is perfect for Halloween and it’s absolutely delicious. Out of this world yummy! Using a bottle of Villa de Varda | Grappa Pinot Nero Riserva Invecchiata | Barrique-aged grappa, which I was kindly gifted, it has a lovely kick and the raspberry and lime compliment the flavour perfectly. Villa de Varda Grappa Pinot Nero Riserva is an artisan barrique-aged grappa made from Pinot Nero grape skins, aged for three years in acacia, oak and cherry wood casks.
