The Royal Haunt Cocktail is a play on the classic Manhattan with a haunted Halloween twist. Cassis liqueur is used to add a bit of royal, or blood, color. A few dashes of walnut bitters round out the flavor profile for a simple and well-balanced cocktail.
If you’re looking for more spooky cocktails to shake up your Halloween get-together, try the Hocus Pocus and Corpse Reviver No. 2 with London Dry Gin.
