Halloween drinks like this one are becoming more and more popular but they nearly never happened at all. As prohibition hit the United States in the 1920s, there were calls to ban ‘the demon drink’ in Ireland. Thankfully it fell on deaf years and nearly 100 years later we honour that decision with one of the tastiest cranberry cocktails around. Mixing mint tea, Jameson Irish Whiskey, lime juice and fresh cranberries, you can serve up to 12 people with delicious Halloween party drinks that are so simple it’s scary.
