Halloween is nearly upon us so to celebrate we thought we would share a Halloween cocktail recipe or two! These yummy recipes are perfect for a Halloween wedding but can easily work with an Autumnal vibe or a themed wedding day too, and for the teetotals amongst you (or the drivers) simply swap out the booze! Enjoy!

Honey and Pomegranate Cosmopolitan

With Rowse Honey

Ingredients:

4 tbsp pomegranate juice drink from a carton

4 tbsp orange juice

4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (3-4 limes)

2 tbsp Rowse Clear Honey

6 tbsp vodka (optional)

Handful of ice cubes

Twist of orange peel, to garnish (optional)

Method

Honey and pomegranate make a great alternative to the classic cosmopolitan. You can leave out the vodka for a mocktail. This amount makes 2-3 cocktails depending on the size of glasses.

Put all of the ingredients apart from the orange peel into a cocktail shaker with the ice. Shake vigorously then strain into two or three cocktail glasses. Drop a twist of orange peel into each and serve.

Lugger Rum 50ml

Strawberry & Lime Syrup 20ml*

Angostura Bitters 2 dashes

West Country Cider 30ml

Method

Fill up the cocktail mixer or directly into a rocks glass with all the main ingredients and stir

Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir 5-10 times to chill the drink

Light a match and hover this over the cocktail, with your other hand take your pre-batched spiced powder & gently dust this on top of the cocktail which will result in a fire pit effect
