Why this recipe works:
Halloweentown is the most wholesome Halloween movie about a witch coming of age in the cutest Halloween-themed town. This drink embodies all the Halloween cozy vibes of the movie and all the best fall flavors! It's crisp, spicy, and completely refreshing!
I am such a fan of Halloween and making festive drinks to go along with my favorite Halloween movies. Just check out these other Halloween cocktails: Hocus Pocus Drink - The Black Flame Candle, Hocus Pocus Inspired Cocktail - I Put A Spell On You, Practical Magic Midnight Margaritas, and Haunted Halloween Punch.
Key Ingredients:
Bourbon: This is a bourbon-based cocktail, and the bourbon flavor comes through, so using a top-shelf, and high-quality bourbon is key to a delicious-tasting drink. You can use any bourbon you like! I used Old Forester 1910 in this cocktail, but Willett or Angels Envy would also be good with these flavors.
Hard Apple Cider: this carbonated fermented apple drink is one of my favorite fall staples. It is so crisp and refreshing! Use your favorite brand, my goto is Strongbow.
Apple Butter: apple butter is made by cooking down apples in spices and a little sweetener. For this recipe, I use this bourbon apple butter which is made with apple cider, bourbon, brown sugar, and maple syrup but store-bought apple butter works as well!
Gold Cocktail Glitter: This is what gives the drink its magical effect. I used Fancy Sprinkles Fools Gold Edible Glitter.
