A Scarily Good Halloween Cocktail

If you like your Halloween cocktails with a little drama and a lot of depth, this Blood Moon Sour is your perfect pour. Smoky, tart and beautifully layered, it’s a cocktail that captures the spirit of the season – dark, mysterious, and just a touch indulgent.

The peaty warmth of Smokehead Islay Single Malt forms the backbone, while lemon and Demerara syrup bring balance and brightness. A float of mulled wine syrup seals the spell, creating a crimson halo that’s as striking to look at as it is to sip.
