Skeleton Key Cocktail | Easy Halloween Cocktail
Are you ready for a fun spicy and rather interesting cocktail? This skeleton key is easy to mix and its unusual elements—and orange color—make it perfect for any Halloween party. The name helps too as it resembles the color of a rusted skeleton key which combined with the ingredients makes it unusual enough to serve at Halloween-themed events. A bartender who worked at Michael Symon’s Roast restaurant in Detroit is credited with inventing this drink.
There are many appealing aspects to this unique contemporary drink. It starts with a combination of bourbon whiskey and elderflower liqueur. The heat starts with ginger beer and it's the healthy dose of bitters that takes this cocktail into the spooktacular realm.
There are two ways to drink this. To get the full flavor of the bitters drink it without a straw. That’s probably too bold for most tastes so drinking it through a straw is recommended. You’ll still taste the bitters; it’s just diluted in the rest of the drink. Just make sure to taste the bitters. It’s fun and Halloween is for the unusual and the extraordinary so why not?
