Cocktail Recipe: Spooky Red Scare

The Spooky Red Scare is a Halloween-themed whiskey cocktail that embodies the eerie threat of liberalism while celebrating the strength of conservative values. With the blood-red hue of pomegranate and blood orange, this drink is both a nod to the historical “Red Scare” and a modern-day toast to fighting against the creeping influence of socialism. The addition of cinnamon syrup and black sugar rim adds a touch of fall spice and a hint of mystery, making this the perfect drink for a chilling Halloween night.
