Halloween Cocktail: Bourbon edition

Stole these from Martha Stewart, tested em while Halloween crafting with my bud Kat.

Ice
6 ounces bourbon (I use Bulliet) 
4 teaspoons  lemonjuice
2 teaspoons maple syrup 
1 cup apple cider
Cayenne pepper 

Shake shake shake, senora, in your cocktail shaker. Makes 4 drinks. I forgot the cayenna after the first one, noticed no real difference. 




3/4 cup apple cider 
1/3 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 thin slices fresh peeled ginger

Shake shake shake, again.

Driiiiiiiiiiiink.

That night also happened to be the unofficial Vancouver International Burlesque Festival after-party. In celebration, Voodoo and I tried a new cocktail...

The Ward Eight.

I'd never bought bourbon before. We wound up picking Bulleit, mostly because the bottle is really nifty. Once at the party Blue Morris, visiting burlesque star Persephone and her gentleman friend expressed their approval so I guess we picked a good one. Sometimes being shallow pays off!

Blue also tried to buy our amazing travel bar off of us. Can't say I blame him. That thing is PIMP.

See the pimpness? Voodoo bought it for fifty bucks. Her boobs are sort of blocking it in this shot, but it came with plastic shot and highball glasses as well as cocktail shaker accessories. The shaker it did not come with, but we already owned one so we were well set.

"I AM Don Draper!" my sibling declared after purchase.

She is. ("HWOOOOOOOOOGHHH... what?")

WANT.

Been busy with the new job. Which sadly does not include gin.
