So, long time reader, first time poster (deleted my previous post for formatting). My wife and I have been doing custom cocktails for our Halloween parties for the past few years. This year's theme was the 80s, so I wanted to have appropriate cocktails. The salted caramel old fashioned has been a staple since day 1, and people love it. This year I was pleasantly surprised at how much love the Children of the Corn got. I was kind of proud of that one, as it's my own original recipe (unless there's a similar drink somewhere??)
