John deBary has a scary large format drink for your Halloween party that will keep your guests glasses full all night. Fundamentally, this drink is pretty simple, its apple brandy, port, and apple cider, but what makes this drink really special is the viscera ie. the apple ribbons and peeled grapes that are soaked in bright-red bitters to give them a stomach-turning internal-organs vibe thats perfect for a celebration of spookiness. Ice chunks can be made pretty simply by freezing filtered water in pint-sized deli containers. And the final touchthe flaming rum, is entirely optional (John does not recommend it if youre feeling wary about working with flames) but in a dark room late on Halloween night, nothing looks cooler than a flaming bowl of guts (and boo-ze!)
