Happy Halloween! We have a CROWD PLEASER for you today. The Charles Dickens punch, which is set ablaze before it is served and best believe, it’s good. Jules also reveals her Poison Apple-tini witch is hauntingly delicious. Uncle Brad digs into the history behind Charles Dickens’ punch, and it turns out... he was kind of a dickens. You’ll know what we mean when you listen.
Charles Dickens Punch
Glass: Heat resistant Punch Bowl (or heavy pot) and heat resistant glasses
Garnish: Lemon wheels and grated nutmeg
Ingredients:
Cognac 1.25 cups
Rum 2 cups
Black Tea 5 cups
4 Lemons (set 1 aside)
Demerara Sugar 0.75 cups
Directions
In your punch bowl add:
Thin peels (no pith) of 3 medium lemons (set lemons aside, you will juice these later)
¾ cup demerara sugar
Using your fingers, press/mash the sugar together with the lemon peels (oils will start to extract form the lemon peels)
Let sit for 30 min or as long as overnight (more flavor comes through the longer it its)
In a saucepan add:
5 cups water
10 ounces of black tea (could be loose tea or 10 tea bags)
Boil the tea for 3 – 5 minutes – it's ok, black tea is more oxidized and can handle the boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
Juice 3 lemons (from step 1) and strain into a separate vessel, you don’t want pulp and seeds floating in your punch
Take a minute to warm your next two ingredients (you can combine) over low heat in a sauce pan (don’t let this catch fire... yet). Or add the ingredients to a large jar (enough to hold 3.25 cups of liquid) and let rest inside your saucepan of hot tea. You can also warm your ladle in here too, you will want it warm so it doesn’t cool off the spirits.
Now BACK TO YOUR PUNCH BOWL. Add:
2 cups Rum (warmed)
1 ¼ cup Cognac (warmed)
Ladel a small amount of the rum and cognac out and hold it away from the punch bowl. Light the contents of the ladle on fire. You should see a nice blue flame coming off the ladle. If it doesn’t light, your ingredients are still too cold.
Turn back to your punch bowl and hold the ladle close to the top of the bowl, pour the fiery contents of the ladle into the bowl
Now that the contents of the bowl are ablaze in a beautiful blue flame.
****Let the bowl burn for 3 – 4 minutes and stir occasionally with the ladle***
After the fire has burned for 3 – 4 minutes, add your tea and lemon juice
If the fire did not go out, go ahead and gently blow it out or cover it with a tray
Remove the lemon pips if you plan to let the punch sit for more than a few hours
Slice 1 lemon (saved for your garnish) into half wheels and add them to the punch or individual servings.
Grate a little nutmeg over the top per glass or over the entire bowl.
Poison Apple-tini
Glass: Nick and Nora glass
Garnish: Grenadine
Directions & Ingredients
First start by cooking down your grenadine to create a thick syrup style texture.
Place on a rimming dish and let cool slightly before rimming glass with the grendaine and letting it fall like blood.
In a cocktail shaker add
2 oz apple whiskey
1 oz apple pucker
1.5 oz cranberry juice
2tbsp gold edible glitter
Add ice and shake!
Strain into a nick and nora with a bloody rim
TIP: How to make your drinks black for Halloween, or whenever. Thanks for the question @winelalala

If drinks were awarded combat medals, the Suffering Bastard would be leading the charge like a drunken hero in a bar fight. In today’s episode, Uncle Brad is our cocktail sergeant, teaching us how to mix this valiant, tiki-style concoction while regaling us with its dramatic backstory. Meanwhile, Jules, channeling her inner Halloween spirit, unveils the Shrunken Skull. Seriously, with names like these, how could they NOT be on your Halloween cocktail menu? I mean, if you serve these at your party, you’re basically guaranteeing a ghostly good time! And don’t wander off just yet! We’ve got tips on how to achieve that frothy head on your Espresso Martini. Wait... why are we talking about Espresso Martinis in a tiki drink episode? Your guess is as good as mine!

Possibly one of our most favorite cocktails, and it will be yours too. The Brandy Crusta hails from New Orleans, the Fig Crusta hails from Jules’ kitchen. Sip through history with us as we get into the story behind the Brandy Crusta. Stick around for tips on what to do with that bottle of Amaro Nonino that’s collecting dust on your shelf – GASP!!!
Brandy Crusta
Glass: small stemmed wine glass, goblet, flute, something cool
Directions & Ingredients
First sugar the rim of your glass by wetting the top with lemon juice (rub a small piece of lemon around the top) and dab the top of the glass into a small pile of sugar on a plate
Next, make your garnish by peeling a lemon by going around the lemon. Pick a hemishpere, north or south (because you can make 2 garnishes this way). Next take your peeler and go around the world. YOu should end with a wide strip of lemon. Now, curl the lemon peel and you’ll notice that there seems one side (top or bottom) that is wider than the other – this is good. Curl the lemon so the wide opening is facing up and tuck it into the glass so just a little bit of the crow is showing and you’ve lined the inside of the glass with the peel.
Now build your drink! In shaker add:
1.5 oz Cognac or Brandy
0.25 oz Cointreau or Orange Curacao
0.25 oz Maraschnio liqueur
0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice
0.25 oz Rich simple syrup (2:1)
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash Cardamon bitters (you can use 2 dash of Ango if you don’t have this)
Shake for 20 seconds
Double strain through the center of your garnish
When you or your guest goes to take their first sip, take a sniff first, then just push the peel down inside the glass, so you don’t slob the drink all over your chin and shirt.
Jules’ Fig Crusta
Tools needed:
Glass: Couple glass please!
In your shaker add:
2 oz Cognac
½ oz orange curacao
½ oz lemon juice
1 Fig
1 tbsp Fig Jam
¼ Maraschino liqueur
2 dashes angostura
1-2 sprigs thyme
Muddle together
Add ice and shake!
Double strain into your coupe.
Garnish with a fresh fig & thyme!
TIP: @czouby What else can I use Amaro Nonino for aside for a paper plane?

Who doesn’t love ice cream and booze mixed together? I’ll tell ya who, Jules but that’s ok, she has a great recipe that doesn’t use dairy. In this episode we cover the classic Pink Squirrel and Jules’ dairy-free Squirrely Girl. They are nutty and delicious. Uncle Brad gives us the scoop on the history behind the drink and together we tackle Mary Kate Schuster’s question, “What are your favorite drinks/recs for new home cocktail makers to try as they get into cocktails?”
Pink Squirrel – the real way
We use vanilla ice cream here, not heavy cream. When it comes to ice cream, don’t use the yellow stuff, it messes up the color. Use white.
Chill your goblet or hurricane glass
Grab your blender or immersion blender
In your blender or shaker tin add,
3 scoops of vanilla ice cream, what’s a scoop look like, about the size of a tennis ball.
1oz of half & half
¼ cup crushed ice
1.5 oz creme de noyaux (Tempus Foo-git)
1.5 oz white creme de cacao
Whiz it aournd until it’s smooth
Pour into your chilled goblet or hurricane glass
Garnish with whipped cream, nutmeg, and a cherry
Jules Pink dairy-free squirrely girl version
In your blender or shaker tin add,
1/2 oz Almond liqueur
½ oz cherry syrup
¾ oz white creme de cacao
1 oz coconut cream
½ oz Cognac
Shake for 20 – 30 seconds
Pour into your glass
Garnish with fresh nutmeg on top and a cherry!

If there was ever a drink with a reputation, this is definitely it. Uncle Brad and Jules get into making a proper Long Island and Jules puts a twist on it with Jamacian Rum, Mint, and Bourbon... I mean, why not? Uncle B gives us the history behind the drink, and there’s a little drama to share. Then Brad takes on a great question from Nathan Batley (all the way from Winchester, UK). He’s been reading up on the old cocktail books like The Savoy Cocktail Book and Cafe Royal Cocktail book and asks, “could you outline the different measurements used like glass, wine glass, liqueur glass, etc (also talk about the ratios and what that means)?”
We got you covered Nathan... mostly.
Long Island Ice Tea Recipie (that actually tastes good)
Chill your Collins glass
In your shaker add:
½ oz Vodka
½ oz London dry gin
½ oz Tequila blanco
½ oz White Rum
½ oz Cointreau
½ oz Simple syrup
¾ oz Lemon juice (fresh squeeze)
3 – 4 dash Angostura bitters
Shake for 15 – 20 seconds
Double strain, over ice, into your Collins glass
Add Coca Cola to top it off
Give it a stir with your bar spoon
Garnish with lemon wheel (on the rim or slide down the inside of your glass)
Long Islands baby brother, Boozy Palmer
In your shaker add:
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/4 oz Mint Syrup
¾ oz Jamaican rum
1 oz Bourbon
½ oz orange curacao
shake
Top with 2-3 oz chilled black tea & 2 oz cola
Strain into collins glass
Garnish with lemon slice
