The WICKED Word - a CURSED cocktail for this Halloween

Merch! 👉 https://exlsv.com/collections/anders-...

Today we’re making an original of mine called the Wicked Word! It’s Halloween, and this cocktail is scary good. I used the Last Word template for this recipe (equal parts base spirit, 2 liqueurs, & citrus), but added an element of showmanship - fire! The result’s an ominous concoction looking more like an enchanted potion than a refined cocktail. Mind the flames and enjoy responsibly. Happy Halloween, everyone!
