I’ll admit, I’m not usually a cocktail kind of girl. I usually stick to a vodka soda or light beer, and save the calories for a sinful dessert. But a friend had been raving about the Halloween-themed cocktails at Whisky Blue in the W Buckhead, and suggested I try at least one before the end of the month.
I went last Wednesday, which basically meant my sober October lasted for all of two weeks. But it was definitely worth it. The weather has been gorgeous lately, and Whisky Blue’s rooftop patio is probably the best place in Buckhead to enjoy it. We sank into the plush outdoor sofa and started sipping away.
The first cocktail we tried was the Trick or Treat—a fruity yet strong rum concoction garnished with Gummy Worms. This drink is served in an enormous bowl, and is meant to be enjoyed by four guests. I assume that I drink enough for two people, so I didn’t think I’d have a problem with it. But honestly, I’d barely made a dent in the drink before I started to feel a buzz. The Trick or Treat was potent but sweet, and it reminded me of a Capri Sun. (And no, we didn’t finish the drink built for four.)
The second cocktail was the Cinnamon S’more—a great drink to sip in lieu of having dessert. I’m not usually into rich, sweet cocktails, but I promise you—they didn’t serve this drink at your childhood campout. Made with cinnamon whiskey, crème de cacao and milk, it’s chocolate-y, creamy and cozy—all in all, the perfect fall drink! My favorite part was the crushed graham crackers around the rim (they provided much needed sustenance after two sneakily-strong drinks!).
Both drinks, plus many more festive fall cocktails are available at both Whiskey Blue in Buckhead and Whiskey Park in Midtown. Both venues are also hosting awesome Halloween parties on Saturday October 30—the perfect place to enjoy these fabulous cocktails!
