 Read on if you want to spice up your spooky season  ...

Halloween parties are back this year!  To get you in the ‘spirit’,  why not try the Aloha Vampire cocktail which is super simple ... .
 
All you have to do:
  • Pour 30ml Aloha 65 into a glass, top it up with cranberry juice and ice cubes.  Finish off your creation with some  soda water and you're good to go.! 

Hang on a minute though, what exactly is Aloha 65?   Well, it's not rum and it's not gin, it is a spirit though, versatile too, made with 100% natural ingredients and better still  it's vegan friendly and gluten free. So what's in it then?  Ah, well there's pineapple, lemon, ginger and ssssh! a load of secret herbs plus fiery scotch bonnet chillies.  Good, huh?

Back to the Vampire Cocktail recipe.  Maybe you're determined to turn up the party vibes a bit more?  Easy!  Just swap the soda water with bubbly and rim the glass with red sugar. Then how about  finishing off your creation with raspberry or pomegranate seeds  or drop in some vampire teeth for a real surprise.....

For a party with a punch try this :
 
Autumn Punch
Ingredients (Serves 10)
500ml Aloha 65, 500ml brandy, 1.5L apple juice, 100ml orange juice, two or three cinnamon sticks, an apple, sliced orange
 Combine the Aloha and brandy with the apple juice in a jug filled with ice, cinnamon sticks and a sliced apple and orange.

About Spirit of Aloha 65
 
Conceived and created by a British barman at his beach bar in Florida, the Spirit of Aloha was designed as a versatile, refreshing and reviving tipple to lure in surfers looking to wind down after the waves. The once homemade gift to the après-sea crowd became a ritual; a unique sundowner that put a smile on everyone’s face.
 
 Aloha 65’s Sun on a Beach hot sauce is made from the same ingredients minus the alcohol, of course and their spicy pineapple ‘detonators’ use just two of Spirit of Aloha 65’s main ingredients, pineapple and chilli, and well… boom!
   
The brand
Spirit of Aloha 65 offers the consumer something different to look at and taste.  With its coastal roots, Spirit of Aloha 65 is a relaxed sundowner for those who live life to the full. The ski winter bottles are a must for an après ski session or winter drinks gathering, virtual or otherwise. Aloha 65 has also created a sweet, tangy hot sauce and a spicy pineapple ‘detonator’ snack.
