The spooky season has officially arrived and today is the start of our 12 Days of Spirits. From now until Halloween, we will be featuring different cocktails or recipes on 12 different days throughout the month. We will be releasing something new on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays. Be sure to check back as we continue to add new drinks to the below. From our Brew Bar to yours, Happy Haunting this season. ?
1. Sunday, October 4th – Spiced Apple Moscow Mule
Today is #NationalVodkaDay and we’ve put together the perfect recipe to celebrate with! The Moscow Mule is one of our favorite cocktails. They are traditionally made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, then garnished with a slice or wedge of lime and mint. When you think of the fall, you often think of cinnamon spice and visiting apple orchards. We’ve combined all the things we love about the classic Moscow Mule with some fall flavor favorites to create the Spiced Apple Moscow Mule and we hope you enjoy!
2. Wednesday, October 7th – The Lemongrass Vodka Gimlet & The Double Old Fashioned from Post Meridiem Spirit Co.
For a cocktail in a can, you cannot go wrong with either of these options as they are each unique in their own way. The Lemongrass Vodka Gimlet is refreshing and full of lime flavor. In contrast, the double Old Fashioned is strong and has just the right amount of orange flavor. These cocktails are made with high-quality ingredients and you can tell right away from your first sip. Need an extra boost to get over the mid-week hump? Just add ice and pour.
3. Saturday, October 10th – Harry Potter Alcoholic Butterbeer Cocktail
Love Harry Potter? Unable to apparate your way to Hogsmeade? Thirsty for a Butterbeer? Look no further than this Harry Potter Alcoholic Butterbeer Cocktail Recipe. We conjured up this concoction using Vanilla Vodka, Butterscotch Schnapps, and good old-fashioned cream soda. It’s a sweet treat that will warm up your insides on these cold days to come. Enjoy a little bit of magic in your very own wizarding world! Cheers!
4. Sunday, October 11th – Botanical Hotel Nacional
We took the classic Hotel Nacional recipe and gave it a botanical twist we call the Botanical Hotel Nacional. This cocktail is sure to transport you straight to the tropics. During the month of October, you are sure to find a few spooky spirits just hanging around the hotel. ? No need to be scared of these spirits as they are the kind you like to have around and keep the pests at bay. If you are scared, this recipe is sure to help calm your own spirit in no time with its refreshing taste and high alcohol content. WARNING: have more than one or two and you may be going for a spin. ?

It has just the right amount of pumpkin flavor without losing the traditional flavors you love about a good margarita. We hope you enjoy this grown-up version of a pumpkin spice drink!
7. Sunday, October 18th – Pink Gin Press Cocktail
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we created this Pink Gin Press Cocktail as a friendly reminder to make sure you are getting checked regularly. According to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is detected early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Early detection includes doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. You can learn more about this disease and how you can help out those who are in need by visiting the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation Website. Together, we can give cancer a flippin’ bird.
8. Wednesday, October 21st – The Real Lime Juice Margarita and The Hemingway Daiquiri from Post Meridiem Spirit Co.
Back again for the second time are the canned cocktails by Post Meridiem Spirit Co. We couldn’t resist talking about some of their other options. The Real Lime Juice Margarita is just how you’d imagine it to be…a masterpiece. This margarita is simply made with Silver Tequila, Orange Curacao and of course, 100% Real Lime Juice. Can’t go wrong with that! The other winner here is The Hemingway Daiquiri, made with 2 different rums (a Silver and West Indies), Italian Maraschino Liqueur, 100% Real Lime Juice, and a little Cane Simple Syrup. All you need to remember is to Shake Can, Pour Over Ice.
9. Saturday, October 24th – Boo-zy Peanut Butter Whiskey Milkshake
Who doesn’t love to treat themselves to a great milkshake? Milkshakes give you the feeling of nostalgia and help bring out the kid in you again.
