Wicked

“No one mourns the Wicked/No one cries “They won’t return!”/No one lays a lily on their grave/The good man scorns the Wicked!” — Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

Chugging along with the Halloween train! Tonight, I’m also indulging my equally grand theater obsessions.

This recipe is a bit original, a bit of a play off the Halloween drink “Wicked Sky” which uses pineapple juice instead of apple cider. However, knowing the smokiness of the scotch, I thought apple might play off the flavors a bit better.

Wicked

1 oz. scotch

1 1/2 oz. Midori (or melon liqueur)

Apple Cider

Pour the scotch and Midori into a highball glass filled with ice. Stir well, then top with the cider.

It may have a sickly off-green color…

But, it’s quite tasty. Another bit of bizarre — a scotch-based drink mixed with melon and apple cider makes something very autumnal and tasty.

Cheers!
