Halloween is the best holiday; this is a fact.
If youre at a similar point in your life, why not throw a themed movie party this year?
Watching this glorious mess of a movie is like eating LSD-spiked cotton candy and I love it.
One of my deepest, darkest secrets is that Ive always wanted to try Sour Patch Kids-infused vodka.
Plus, Clairejusttaught us all how to make sous-vide liqueur, so it was clearly meant to be.
Thankfully, it turned out to be fairly straightforward.
Jars are easy: put em on the scale and go to town.
Once youve got your candy weighed out, add some vodka.
Nibble on a Vodka Kid if youre feeling brave, and chill until ready to use.
Serve as you would any liqueur: straight up or as the star of a simple cocktail.
Tasting notes: as a shot, this stuff is, uh,piquant.
(Then again, Im kinda into Malort, so your mileage may vary.)
The answer, of course, was a lot ofKalimotxo.
(The book is both dense and good, if youre curious.)
This is a movie about weaponized, patriarchal fear of the feminineif that doesnt scare you, Im jealous.
I chose Black Phillip, everyones favorite murder-goat, as my muse.
I settled on a hot buttered rum/Spanish coffee hybrid, because I like to livedeliciously.
Reduce heat to very low and simmer, whisking occasionally to combine, for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the rum off-heat, pour into mugs, and serve hot.
That said, the suggested cocktail does reference a scene near the end of the film.
As written below, this will yield about 3 drinks, but it scales very easily.
Im not much of a mixologist, so Im pleasantly surprised at howtastyall of these turned out.
Whats your favorite movie to watch around Halloween, and what do you drink with it?
