A Shimmering Cocktail For Halloween

Halloween_cocktail

It’s Halloween. And it’s found its way into our lives with carved pumpkins, and whacky costumes. Cobwebs and bats adorn the table decor. It’s the perfect time for you and me to connect with our loved ones and get those long-overdue conversations going. Let’s sit around the fire, and create some magic. You bring a tale or two, and I will lay out a table full of drinks and food. How about we start with a shimmering cocktail to get everyone in the mood? I found the perfect one on Michelle Heath’s Blog, and I knew I just had to try it out!

You got a glimpse of it in the Halloween Table – Darkness Falls. Here is the recipe for the black as night cocktail, with just a touch of shimmer, for the right kind of mood setting. Whether serving it for a date night, or for a group of friends, this one has proven itself to be a hit.

Here is how we do it.

A shimmering cocktail for your Halloween themed party.

Ingredients

-150ml Black Vodka

-Juice of one small lime

-30ml simple syrup

-Edible shimmer dust (I used red)

-Ice

Directions

  1. Add the syrup, lime juice, vodka and ice in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Shake for 30 seconds.
  3. Add a pinch of edible dust to the bottom of the glass. Pour the cocktail into your glass and serve.

Simple syrup is just that, btw. Water and sugar mixed in equal amounts, and simmered over low heat till all the sugar melts. Strain and keep the liquid for later use. Check out the entire Halloween Themed Table as well. A stark, black and white theme for an adult Halloween party, chic and dark. remember we are just TWO tables down in the Table For Two Project, where I set up a different table setting, every single week, for almost a year. 52 weeks. 52 tables. And we are just getting started.

Are you planning/going for a Halloween party?

Is 2021 exhausting or what! Barely two months in, Is 2021 exhausting or what! Barely two months in, and I am ready to give it a break. We spent a month house hunting. Hopefully, that’s going to end soon. There has been much leftover heartbreak from 2020, and my body seems to be carrying the burden. The thing is, a lot of us internalise the struggle and the pain, because they don’t really make for good Instagram pictures, do they? Fortunately, the collective chaos of recent times has put the focus on Mental Health, and people are waking up to how it affects our physical health too. Self sabotage, toxic relationships, negative environment, lack of support system, and social isolation have affected nearly everyone’s well-being. I too have been affected, and well, disclosure: suffered with high functioning anxiety and depression for years. I have had ups and downs, and life in general has been a roller-coaster. And years of it has left me dizzy and sometimes, disoriented. The good bit is, I decided to ask for help. Speaking to someone who can be trusted, and consciously working on creating a support system are things no one should be ashamed of. 
.
Also, it’s okay to set strict boundaries and eliminate toxic relationships from your life. The world isn’t easy right now, and things won’t change for a while. So get your strength from wherever you can. Find ways to get back your peace. Ask for kindness. Demand boundaries. Protect your inner balance. 
.
I hope you will find a way to heal the pain. I hope you will fight for your happiness. I hope you will find the strength to regain your joy. You are worth it.

A year short of a decade. It’s never a straight A year short of a decade. It’s never a straight road. Mostly a bumpy ride. We drive each other up the wall. But somehow, you are a habit not easy to break. Like midnight binges, like a sugar rush, like a drink too many, like a fast food snack the doctor objects to. Flawed, and oh so imperfect! You and I! But what a story, with no second gears in life, cliffhangers everywhere, and season after season of new adventures and calamities. Life is anything but banal with the two of us hurtling across it.

To anyone remotely thinking of tagging us in #relationshipgoals ... welcome to our misadventures. How else could two insane Mavericks live it out in a maddening world?
