Halloween is two days . . are you ready?!!!
As a kid, I didn’t really care much for Halloween, other than the candy, I wasn’t very big into the costumes and getting dressed up. That all changed, of course, after getting married and having kids. One year, there was a Halloween costume contest at my daughter’s school and my husband went all out. He was a ninja warrior, complete with the wig, long white beard, outfit and sword. He got second place that year but it’s all good.
Keeps us on our toes for next year.
Are you hosting a Halloween party this year and need a great cocktail? Well, I have a great recipe for you today!!
This Old Fashioned Spooooooky Ghoultini is my spin on an old fashioned with a twist! It’s delicious!! You guys, the coolest thing about this post, other than using my freaking power tool of a blender for this recipe, was working with dry ice.
Oh my gawd, SO FUN. I loved it.
If you guys are in the market for a new blender, you have to check out my post. KitchenAid’s Torrent Magnetic Drive Blender is seriously a workhorse and is so powerful and fast, I am truly amazed. This is seriously the Mercedes-Benz of blenders, y’all.
I love it!

October 29, 2015 at 2:37 pmGhoultine! What a fancy word for a very fancy drink! 🙂 Whiskey and Cherries together sound like heaven! I wonder if you could warm it up together for Xmas time, like a Gluewhine.. now that would be delish.

October 30, 2015 at 5:25 amIt’s good that you can enjoy the holiday more now. I like seeing the holidays through my kids’ eyes, which reminds me of how I used to feel when I was little. It’s cool! And your husband must’ve really gotten into it. The most I can do is convince mine to dress like Michael Jackson, year after year. He really loved Michael Jackson. 🙂
These look appropriately spooky. Creepy photo shoot accomplished, Alice!

October 30, 2015 at 7:19 amThis is so fun, Alice! I would much rather stay home and drink a couple of these than participate in any Halloween festivities. I’m a chicken and I don’t like scary stuff. Lol!

He sounds just like mine – he dresses up every year too 🙂 I just got back from my son’s Halloween school party and it’s so much fun seeing all the adorable costumes. I love this ghoultini – so festive and looks absolutely spoooooktacular!!!

October 30, 2015 at 4:42 pmThis Martini is fabulous, Alice!! I love the name and the look! Totally perfect for Halloween! I want to make this, where the heck did you get dry ice?! I could never find it in Orlando and I certainly can’t find it out here in the Stix. 😉 Anyways, hope you and the girls have a Halloween as spook-tastic as this drink! Cheers! <3
