Happy Halloween Edition:

This recipe was sent to me by my room mate…via Garden and Gun magazine (so bomb). 

To counteract all those orange and black jello shots you are making for your halloween soiree with a classier cocktail…would probably be a good idea. So here’s the perfect concoction for ya:

In honor of Halloween, the Hotel Monteleone’s barkeeps devised a series of cocktails named for their permanent guests. One in particular caught our eye—Solemn John, named for a 1920s businessman from Tennessee who’s said to still wander the premises. 

-Garden and Gun

So let’s make us a Solemn John huh?

Things You’ll Need:

1 ¼ oz. Bulleit Bourbon

1 oz. Mathilde Pear Liqueur

¼ oz. simple syrup

3–4 oz. half and half

Dash of cinnamon

Place all liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled and blended. Strain into a chilled martini glass, and serve with a dusting of cinnamon.

F*CKING YUMS.

Happy Halloween!

**UPDATE: Pocahontas costume has been aborted due to me wanting to be the mermaid that I always knew I was.
