<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> In order to create this sinful concoction, combine equal parts vodka, Rodrigues Apple chnapps, Amaretto almond liqueur, Rodrigues Pear Brandy, triple sec and lime juice, adding orange juice to taste. </span><br />

I<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> like Rob Zombie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">His music is perfect for Halloween, dark, moody, foreboding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Not hard to see a Black Sabbath influence, but I digress. Playing in the kitchen, I'm a fan of rimming a glass for mexican drinks, so we think, why not for Halloween, and voila, the Sinister Urge Cocktail.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">October has always been my favourite time of the year, simply because that's when Halloween is. Free candy was great when you are a kid, but that was only a fringe benefit, I've always been a fan of the macabre, the dark, things that go bump in the night. And yes, I am a life long fan of Stephen King.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With that 'Salem's Lot is my favourite book of his, so let's capitalize on the vampire craze a little bit more here this morning, you know what I'm talking about, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood and with a shudder, Tweenlight, I mean Twilight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This recipe is influenced by all that, and would be an interesting drink at a Halloween party, cheers and enjoy!</span><br />

½ oz. Cointreau<br />
½ oz. Sedna Vodka<br />
½ oz. cranberry juice<br />

<br />
Cool Heaven is a twist on the Sedna favourite of vodka, schnapps and fruit juice,<br />
this gives it a little zip from the club soda, which also helps cut down on how sweet the<br />
cocktail usual is!<br />
<br />
Cheers and Enjoy!<br />
<br />
¼ oz. Sedna Vodka<br />
1½ oz. Rodrigues Apple Schnapps<br />
½ oz. club soda<br />
¾ oz. fruit juice of your choice<br />
<br />
<br />
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.<br />
