When it’s spooky season, you need a good drink to see you through the night and we have just the one for you. You may be familiar with the film Nightmare on Elm Street which this drink gets its name from and just like the icon horror classic this is a cocktail recipe you will want to stay awake for.
Bourbon works so well with apple , so it’s a no brainer to pair it with a good Apple cider in this along with all the other spices that bring out a clear but not too intense flavour. Sparkling Cider is also a great option for this recipe if you can get your hands on it. Of course, you will want to dress up this cocktail in the appropriate Halloween style so a bit of fake blood on the glass will go far.
Holiday themed drinks like these bring out the best in terms of taste and presentation and the process of just making them can be fun for anyone who enjoys Halloween. Give it a try and into the spirit (pun intended) of the Halloween festivities.
Here is how it is made.

1 ½ oz. (45ml) Bourbon
