This unique take on a long-standing cocktail infuses flavours of earthy and seasonal citrus. Topping it with a toasted marshmallow ties in the autumnal vibes you seek for your Halloween event.
So what do you need to make it happen? And these ingredients to your shopping list:
Although this recipe requires some cooking chops, don’t sweat it. The highly skilled, trained mixologists we supply for events around the Greater Toronto Area at Rent a Bartender will gladly take care of it.
We’ll curate an entire customized cocktail menu that will make this Halloween party the talk of the town.
So how do our mixologists will start the drink prep, combining the maraschino cherries with the bitters and muddled oranges after mashing the fruit. Then they’ll stir in the rye or bourbon ( your choice).
