Dracula's Blood - Irish Whiskey Cocktail
Posted by Irish Whiskey USA on
Halloween has its roots from Celtic Ireland (read our prior origin story here). In American culture, Halloween means costumes, candy, and horror stories. One of the most famous horror stories was written by an Irishman. Bram Stoker, born and educated in Dublin, wrote the classic gothic horror novel Dracula in 1897. If looking for a Halloween cocktail, look no further than Dracula's Blood. This scary concoction combines 3 'spirits' with grenadine for blood thirsty effect.
