When you’re drinking a brand of rum named after one of the best known “bad boys”-Sailor Jerry-you’re bound to run into some interesting drink names. It’s part and parcel to the WWII Naval lifestyle and heritage.

If you can stomach the drink’s name [I think they're funny] then you’re in for a hell of a good drink.

Halloween Drinks

Halloween is now about a week away. I still don’t have a costume, but I know exactly what I’ll be serving to friends on Friday night. This is the first of the Drinks After Dark Halloween Recipes – there will definitely be more!

Vampire Juice

In a tall glass with ice mix:
2 oz Finlandia Lime Vodka
4 oz tomato juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh horseradish
Splash of steak sauce (any brand)
Splash of hot sauce
Garnish with eye ball radish

To make ice “eyeballs”. Peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin on to represent blood vessels (see image). Using the tip of the vegetable peeler, or a small, knife, carefully scoop out a small hole in each radish, roughly the size of an olive. Stuff a green olive, pimiento side out, in each hole. Place one radish eyeball in each section of an empty ice cube tray. Pare the radishes down a bit to fit, if necessary. Fill the tray with water and freeze overnight.

Vampire Kiss Martini

1 ½ oz. Finlandia Vodka, chilled
1 ½ oz Korbel Champagne
¾ oz part Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur

Rim the glass with red sugar (use food coloring) or drop in a set of wax vampire teeth for a real surprise.

Pour vodka and half of the Chambord in a martini glass, top with Champagne and pour the remaining Chambord over the back of a spoon to make it float.

Candy Apple Martini

1 oz Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur
1 oz Finlandia Vodka
3/4 oz apple schnapps
Splash of Tuaca Liqueur

Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass.
Rim the glass with caramel and garnish with an apple slice.
