Skeleton Key

Most Halloween cocktails seem spicy in nature. Why? I do not know. The Skeleton Key has all the backbone of a very moreish fall cocktail. An enchanting spicy floral beverage that is sure to unlock... or rival any Halloween trick or treat.    

Skeleton Key
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1 1/4 oz Bourbon
3/4 oz St. Germain liqueur ( and elderflower liqueur)
1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 to 5 oz Ginger Beer, top as needed
8 dashes Angostura Bitters


Place the bourbon, St. Germain, and lemon into a cocktail glass, like a Collins glass, fill with ice. Top it off the the ginger beer. Garnish with the 8 dashes of Angostura Bitters and serve with a straw. 


The few days of warmer temperatures may have lifted my spirits; as this terrible cold is still lingering. Have a fabulous weekend everyone! - JD
