My two favorite things about Halloween are costumes and cocktails, and one place is mixing up drinks that are scary good. Deco’s ghoulish Alex Miranda has a look.
Anyone who saw “It: Chapter Two,” you can get into these spirits. One bar is bringing the circus clown out of all of us. So, come one, come all to a Halloween event that is bound to be fun under the big top.
Villa Azur on South Beach is hosting a Halloween bash.
Geneviève Bernard, Villa Azur: “The theme is Circus Momentous, and it’s an elegant freak show, if I may say. It will surprise and scare you.”
This French-Mediterranean restaurant is known for its over-the-top Thursday night parties, and since Halloween is on a Thursday, the night will be full of treats for adults.
Geneviève Bernard: “It’s going to be only for Halloween, and we are going to feature four different cocktails that will match the theme .”
Start out with a drink called the Clown Pre-workout. It has mescal, strawberry purée, lemon juice and a homemade melted down peach candy and jalapeño syrup.
Genevieve Bernard: “The presentation will be on dry ice, so it will be smoking.”
Or if you dare, go for the Circus I.V.
Geneviève Bernard: “The Circus I.V. tastes fruity and also sour.”
This rum drink is served in an I.V. bag!
Tijauna Ilic, customer: “I’m scared a little bit. It was something different but original. I have to admit it was amazing.”
When you’re handed the Night at the Cinema drink, you’ll think you’ve been tricked.
Geneviève Bernard: “It’s presented like if you go to the cinema and you get popcorn, but it’s for grown ups and we pour liquor in there.”
The vodka drink comes in a popcorn container, and it’s topped with real popcorn.
Geneviève Bernard: “We have a secret, so no worries. The popcorn doesn’t get soggy.”
The Violet is fruity and gets all bubbly when it’s poured over some spooky dry ice.
Geneviève Bernard: “We wanted to make it very special and memorable.”
Costumes aren’t a must, but it’s Halloween. You know you’re going to want to dress up.
Reservations aren’t needed for Halloween, but they are highly encouraged.
