Start your Halloween off with a spooky citrus cocktail or mocktail that’s scary good and secretly healthy. No one will know that this delicious drink is packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and raw honey – they’ll just think it’s a delicious, fun and festive drink.
Mix up a pitcher of this spooky citrus cocktail with OJ, bourbon, turmeric, raw honey, and a splash of orange seltzer. Top it off a slice of candied ginger and a sprinkle of activated charcoal and you have yourself a beautiful Halloween cocktail.
We make this spooky citrus cocktail with bourbon, but it would also work well with vodka, gin or rum. It’s also delicious warm on a chilly fall night, especially if you make it with rum (just skip the seltzer if you do warm it up). You can also make a spooky citrus mocktail for the kids with the same ingredients, minus the alcohol of course.
Don’t forget the garnishes for this spooky citrus cocktail; they’ll make you look like a master mixologists. You can find candied ginger and activated charcoal at most health food stores (the ginger is often in the bulk section and the activated charcoal is usually with the supplements).
