Halloween may be over, but that’s no reason to not be very very scared. These cocktails will help (or hurt).

Vampire Kiss

This emerald-hued cocktail is as stunning on the eye as it is on the palate. If you have white (clear-coloured) crème de menthe instead of the green version, add a drop or two of green food colouring to the mix.

Take a shaker full of ice and add the ingredients. Stir well and double strain into a chilled martini glass. Decorate with the chocolate sticks and serve.
