Quoting those words no one really wants to hear when picking up a hitchhiker:
Hitchhiker: “My family’s always been in meat.”
“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” (1974)
This refreshingly crispy cinnamon and cider cocktail mix complements a good medium-rare piece of meat very nicely … or perhaps it might chill you to the bone, depends on the company.
- 1 oz. Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
- 1 oz. Campari
- 1 oz. cranberry juice
- 4 oz. Angry Orchard Crisp Apple hard cider
Pour ingredients over Ice. Stir. Garnish with stemmed maraschino cherry.
“The deep reds of the Campari and blood orange juice make this bubbly cocktail reminiscent of pig’s blood, but serve these sparklers at your Halloween party and your guests will have a lot more fun than Carrie did at prom!” Katie Lee, author of the Comfort Table cookbooks.
- 2 oz fresh blood orange juice
- ¼ to ½ cup sugar in a shallow dish (for rimming the glasses)
- 1 oz Campari
- Sparkling wine
Press a slice of juiced blood orange around the rim of a champagne glass. Press the top of the glass in the sugar to coat the rim. Combine the blood orange juice and Campari in the champagne glass. Top with sparkling wine.
