“Summon the Spirits” Cocktail

Midsummer Scream’s pop-up event “Awaken the Spirits” happens this weekend. Being one of the many unable to celebrate in person, I decided to brew up my own means of awakening the spirits at home with a very special “Summon the Spirits” cocktail. This tropical-inspired concoction brings all the spooky vibes with an orange color and ease to transform into a family friendly version. This cocktail is sure to become a Summerween favorite!

It was especially important to me to make this a fun cocktail that could become something for all ages. It has a good dose of ingredients, but I promise that they’re well worth the search. On the note of fun elements…

What Summer Halloween event cocktail would be complete without using a Midsummer Scream souvenir from years past? You can pick any rocks or mai tai glass, but if you have a Black Cat tiki mug from Midsummer Scream 2019, it makes this cocktail an extra dose of fun.
