It's Wednesday and I don't know about you but I feel like this week has lasted approximately 9 million years... it's nearly Halloween so I decided to jazz up a midweek drink and make it spooky. This recipe makes 2 long (strong) shots.

Ingredients

120ml Vodka

60ml Lime Juice

120ml Chambord

Frozen Berries

Dash of Black Food Colouring

To Garnish

Slice of Lime

Grey Sugar (or black food colouring and caster sugar)

Method

1. Fill shaker with ice, vodka, lime juice and chambord.

2. Shake until shaker is very cold.

3. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of your shot glass.

4. Dip the rim into the grey sugar (or black food colouring and caster sugar).

5. Pour the cocktail into the shot glasses, and enjoy!

Have you had a long week too? I'd love to know!

Picture this, it's a Friday evening and work is done for the week. It's also the week before Halloween AND a no bones day.... why not whip up a Vampire's Kiss cocktail? Super easy to make, you only really need three ingredients to make the drink itself and it's such an effective aesthetically pleasing drink! This recipe makes 1 cocktail.

Ingredients

30ml Vodka

30ml Chambord

Frozen Raspberries

Prosecco

To Garnish

Lime Wedge (to get the sugar to stick)

Red Sugar (or red food colouring and caster sugar)

Method

1. Fill shaker with ice, vodka, chambord and frozen raspberries.

2. Shake until shaker is very cold.

3. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of your martini glass.

4. Dip the rim into the red sugar (or red food colouring and caster sugar).

5. Strain the cocktail into the glass.

6. Top up with the prosecco, and enjoy!

Let me know if you make a Vampire's Kiss & let me know what you think!

Spooky season has officially begun, with the darker nights and colder weather (although this year has been unseasonably warm??) it is stay in in territory and time to embrace binge watching at it's finest. With binge watching in mind, I thought it time to share some of my favourite Autumnal/ Halloween inspired films and TV programmes:

The Addams Family - An absolute classic. Need I say anymore???

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - This one is slightly creepy, but I loved it. As a kid I loved Sabrina (including being an avid collector of the magazines), so I enjoyed watching a grown up take on Sabrina's world. 

Sabrina the Teenage Witch - As a self confessed Sabrina fan (see above), I was jazzed to see that all seasons of Sabrina are now on Amazon Prime! Perfect throwback. What weirded me out is they referred to the 60's as being 30 years ago..... shocking how old we are getting, amiright?!

Hocus Pocus - The fact this film came out the year I was born, and it's still considered absolutely wonderfully spooky just epitomises how much of a classic this film is. Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and SJP play fantastic characters.

Beetlejuice - Another fantastic Tim Burton film, and another oldie but goodie. I love watching Beetlejuice every year. 

Gilmore Girls - Whilst GG is not strictly 'Halloweeny' per se, it is a autumnal staple... so it makes the list. A forever favourite. Once you watch GG, you then need to watch 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' also.

You (Season Three): + the other seasons if you've not already seen them. Joe Goldberg officially gives off the creepiest vibes and definitely makes you think about what you put on social media...

What are your plans for Halloween? What are your favourite Halloween films and TV programmes?

I'd love to know!
