This week we have a scary cocktail. Behold, the Nightmare!
It looks a lot scarier in the picture. Ours just ended up looking like apple cider. Maybe we should have gotten a light for the inside of our cocktail, too.

“How is it? I’m guessing strong?”
“Hoooooo. Yes. But it’s not bad.”
The Verdict: Not Bad
From The Tasting Notes:
The drink isn’t too shabby. You can taste all of the different ingredients without one overwhelming another, but it is a little strong. Not really worth opening a whole bottle of Dubonnet for just this drink, but at least the drink has the coolest name we’ve come across so far.
I think Tom always looks a bit happier on drink test day.
I kind of hate to admit it, but there is something irresistible about miniature marshmallows in Jell-O. I’m not sure if it’s the odd, foamy texture or the extra sweetness, but I love them in a way I know I shouldn’t.
