Double Double Toil and TroubleHalloween is just around the corner! To celebrate, we’re doing a series of crazyarse cocktails centred on the Scottish Play. This one is the First Witch. She’s actually really sweet once you get to know her, promise! You really need to stop judging her just because she likes to fuck with people’s lives and send countries into war; she also loves her cats something dreadful, has an insane sweet tooth, and enjoys tending to her pumpkin patch together with the other witches. This is her favourite cocktail (and it doesn’t even involve bats’ wings).Ingredients:A pumpkin (red kuri squash is perfect)A mangoMango juiceA Japanese persimmon (kaki)Double shot of vanilla vodkaPreparation:Cook the pumpkin until it’s very soft, mash it up until its a fine puree; if you’re working with a medium-sized red kuri, use about half of it for two large cocktails. Add the mango and the persimmon, mash until its all well-mixed. Then add the vanilla vodka (or normal vodka and vanilla sugar) and as much mango juice as you want for whichever consistency you prefer - not too much though, or the pumpkin flavour will get drowned out. It will stay at a smoothie-esque consistency anyway, let’s just pretend that’s part of the charm. Leave to simmer in the moonlight for a fortnight and dance around it anti-clockwise three times. Serve in a cauldron or a whisky glass. -- source link
