Mad Max....Probably making the el diablo for my Halloween party. That one seems to be prep-able and has a bit of show...Also Mules are always in demand so lots of ginger beer.
Same! I’d never even tasted crème de cassis but that recipe seemed so accessible I bought a bottle to try it out. Definitely one of my favorite cocktails on a warm day.
For the Cacao Nib infusion, you can really amplify that chocolate flavor by toasting the nibs breifly In a skillet. I let them infuse a full day at room temp and it is absolutely delicious.
El Diablo has been one of my favorite to make for the past few months ever since I started mixing cocktails. My dad loves it, I love it, the presentation is cool, it's just so cool. Thanks for the list Anders :D
Love all these drinks, but also - I didn’t see the sexy cow coming at all. 😊 I really enjoy the fun, inspirational and helpful tone you have- it’s always a delight. As an old talking heads fan I’ll definitely will try the Psycho killer!
My original idea for this years Halloween party was to make a batch of Black Manhattans, but decided instead to make like a Clover Club, but with blackberry syrup instead of raspberry. I'm sure it'll turn out great and should please everyone, Clover Club is my fiance's favorite drink and I love blackberries so been eager to try that. Last year I made a batch of El Presidentes and people really liked 'em.
Fun, I'll try a couple of those. Here are mine I came up with for the season. 1.5oz dry gin, 1oz pomegranate juice, .5oz dry vermouth. Stir with ice and strain into martini glass. Garnish with lyche fruit stuff with blue berries. I call it the Red Eye. Also, 2oz Crown green apple, .5oz caramel whiskey (I use a local stillery Sacred Staves) squeeze of lemon juice, stir with large ice cube.
Just tried the Black Dragon No 13 and damn is that a winner. I wasn't too sure how it was going to turn out, like how the beer would balance with the rest of the ingredients. But this is probably the best beer cocktail I've made. The stout, coffee, averna play really well. The 1/4 oz rich demarara provides the perfect extra sweetness to combat the stout, and the cognac perfectly worked together with everything else, which was a delightful surprise. Way to go!
Love the idea behind the Black Dragon #13. Anders original cocktails are yet to disappoint so I have to give this a try. Bonus points for the Dragon's Milk as that is a local brewery for me and one of my favorite stouts!
I have a recommendation! For the garnish on the Black Dragon, you could sprinkle ground coffee (like a nice light roast), or you could also garish it with some large chocolate curls!
Just made the Black Dragon but I used Mr Black instead of cold brew concentrate. It might be a little sweeter because of that but it’s still so good! Also made the Rattle Skull from your last video and love that too 🤘🏻. Thanks for making these great videos, Love them all!
The the psycho killer is a pretty good one. I tend to shake it though, with just a bar spoon of lemon juice. Lightens it up quite a bit. Enjoy your weekend Anders 🍹
100% will do the Black Dragon #13. From Grand Rapids with a New Holland right down the street. Also, fun fact, my buddy and I are going as Dragon's Milk for a Halloween party. I have a dragon costume and he has a milk carton costume. Together...Dragon's Milk. Love the videos Anders. Also Bartenders Blend coffee is phenomenal.
Fill an inverted lime cup with grenadine & float it in a Paloma to make it *spooky/bloody* (& tamp down the sharpness of the grapefruit if that's a problem).
We made the Black Dragon № 13 and found it too sweet. Made the next one minus the Demerara syrup and made the volume up with extra cognac. Much better! We call this variant the Black Dragon № 14, of course.
I definitely want to try the Psycho Killer. Living in San Francisco, I often find reasons to try new uses for Irish whiskey. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm going to make some diy swedish punsch, and try out the Haunted House. The diy swedish punsch uses Cachaca and a lemon as it's base with a clove and cardamon mixed w/ a black tea syrup.
A thumbs up for using an honestly really good drink which is Dragons Milk, I didn't think it would be good at first but that was before I tried it and dang was it just so good by itself, but now I want to try the cocktail that was made here, getting me excited to grab some bottles and make some good drinks.
Oooh, the Psycho Killer intrigues me a lot. I'll need to start infusing some Campari! I'll need to try the Black Dragon No. 13! Thanks for the great video Anders!
A bit of a change up from me on the Black Dragon (no14 😉)Anders, Fiji Ratu Rum 8yo, instead of the cognac, no dem syrup the rum is sweet enough, and an Australian vanilla porter from Brick Lane brewing. Sensational channel and great content, well done bloke, cheers Mate.
I've been thinking of more smoky, fiery options recently thanks to being in the UK and having a renewed interest in celebrating Guy Fawkes Night this year... But that Psycho Killer has me intrigued, I just can't imagine those flavours combined so perhaps a little research is in order... :)
I made the Black Dragon No. 13 last night for the House of the Dragon finale and loved it! I'm waiting for my Liber & Co. shipment so that I can make The Haunted House to complete the quartet. 😊
Love the Nick and Nora glass. Also, for whatever reason, and randomly so, the phrase “…a rich Demerara syrup” clangs around in the Ol’ coconut throughout my work day. 🍹 🍸 🥥
LOVE LOVE LOVE the "Anders Originals" you put on the channel. They always strike a great balance which meshes so well with my tastes. Cheers to you and Az!
BLACK DRAGON No. 13!! Every ingredient in that is amazing - pleasantly surprised to see Averna! All my local bottle shops have run out of Averna this year and I've been dying & trying to make do with Fernet Menta. I have every other ingredient here, so this was the sign I needed - time to go track down this amaro so I can make this today!
@@AndersErickson Update: snagged Averna from Curiada (thank you:), tried a nearby Package store for a stout, any stout-and I shit you not, they sold ALMOST NO BEER, only a few hundred liquors, but among the 2 beers in the entire store was Dragon's Milk. That, plus you stirring me with my fave amaro, was clearly a sign I needed to make the BLACK DRAGON No. 13 on this day. This drink is phenomenal! It's what Renaissance Faire beer/mead cocktails wish they were, it's what barleywines dream of tasting like, and it absolutely carries a thematic spooky flavor. THANK YOU for making these videos and sharing your taste with the rest of us!!!
I made a round of Black Dragon 13’s for some friends tonight during the House of the Dragon finale and they were a huge hit! The flavors compliment the beer so perfectly. Thanks!
Love love love Nick and Zamora glasses. Binged the Thin Man movies and had to purchase some of these beautiful glasses. Great ideas for the season. Thanks for the content. We are Patreon members and we support you and we love your channel 👍
Love the El Diablo! My local store did not have creme de cassis, so instead, I used creme de violet (much more purple!) but it still tasted amazing. Spicy ginger beer makes it. I recommend it to everyone!
I hate myself for not having all the liquours for making all your drinks, i'm fascinated with your content, greetings from Argentina and Venezuela (try Venezuelan Rum btw)
Nothing better than sipping the Psycho Killer at the Dead Rabbit! But I'm looking forward to trying this version at home. Thanks, Anders. When in NYC, Amor y Amargo is also a must-stop.
Mmmm dragons milk is my favorite beer. Thanks for making a cocktail with it! Man, within two weeks, you’ve made some of my most anticipated drinks- gotta get to the store!
That Fiery Ginger Syrup has a wonderful warmth to it. I use it for ginger whiskey sours. I think I'll grab some Creme de Cassis and make an El Diablo. Cheers, Anders!
Hey, Anders. Love your videos. Always informative AND entertaining. Did the Haunted House tonight. Didn't have the puncsh, so sub'd my homemade spicello. Sounded like the spices were similar. Delish!
Really liked your Black Dragon, although I used coffee liqueur and no syrup. I wonder which beer would fit this cocktail the most. Probably something not really distinct, no baltic porters, maybe something more neutral?
I do like the El Diablo and want to try the rest. That Black Dragon sounds good and I do have Dragon’s Milk already. Just need all the other ingredients…
Terrific Halloween cocktails Anders! I like Jillian Vose a lot. She and her partners at The Dead Rabbit have parted ways and she recently opened Hazel and Apple in Charleston, South Caroline. The parent company for The Dead Rabbit has invested and there is a connection with Sean Muldoon who is also leaving to open to a new bar. Jack McGarry has stayed as principle owner of The Dead Rabbit! I am looking forward to checking out Jillian's new bar! I love the Psycho Killer and cocoa nib infused Campari is absolutely delicious! This is such a fabulous libation! I am a huge fan of El Diablo! I like your variation! The Black Dragon looks really good! I am usually too busy handing out treats to kids on Halloween, and I really enjoy that (love living in a neighbourhood with lots of kids!) but time will permit to make a lovely cocktail for my husband and friends who always gather with us on Halloween. I like traditions! Hope you are well! Cheers!! 🙂
Thanks Christine! I’d love to check out Hazel and Apple! The Psycho Killer is such a good cocktail. I hope you have a wonderful time handy out candy this Halloween! Perhaps with a nice cocktail to sip on! Cheers!!
I have decided I can't wait until Halloween to make The Psycho Killer! I am all ready to infuse the Campari today with cocoa chocolate nibs and tonight my friends and I will be enjoying this gorgeous-looking libation!! I'm excited! Have a terrific week Anders! Cheers! 🙂
Please can you suggest a substitute for sweet vermouth in cocktails like Negroni? As an occasional cocktail maker, I have let a few bottles go bad over the last year
Hey Anders what about hot drinks? This is a chilly time of year and traditionally I do “Apple Pie-der” made famous by Gastrognome in Idyllwild…it has tuaca, brandy and applejack with hot honey crisp cider, whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg. It’s an outstanding hot drink for Halloween 🎃 try it out!
For the Haunted House cocktail, would you recommend any substitutions instead of using Swedish Punch? I'm looking to make this drink not too sweet, but still well balanced. Any other suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you 🙏🏽
New subscriber here and I love these videos Anders! I started upping my cocktail game thanks to you and now purchasing different kinds of booze than just the run of the mill crap that I grew up with lol. Getting ready to impress the fam during the holidays.
@@AndersErickson ps...thanks also for posting the link to your collection. My small town in WI has podunk liquor stores, void of anything cool like absinthe haha
A small dragon scale or fang would have been the perfect decoration for that wonderful last potion (it is Halloween after all...). What do you mean "where to find a scale or fang?", little dragons are adorable when they grow up, they may play a little rough sometimes (what up, Singed-Eyebrows?), but that's where they can shed a baby scale. They are teething as well, so fangs are definitely around. You just have to know where to look. And make sure there are no dragon mamas around... (Btw, for those who are fans of the Diablo video game series... anybody remember the secret "Cow level" in Diablo II? Anders may have inadvertently tipped a hat to that)
By the way, nice nod to the song Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads with the drink! I heard the quick “Qu'est-ce que c'est” right after making it. Also covered by my favorite band Phish!
Made a haunted house (with falernum as a sub for the Swedish punsch) - delicious. Made a psycho killer… omg.. another name could be ‘creepy clown’ or ‘roller coaster train wreck’ one sip says I’m going to regret this tomorrow.. 😂
Hi Anders. Thank you so much for all these videos that inspire me a lot. I have a question for a long time. What kind of maraschino sherries do you use for your cocktails ?
What will you be dressing up as this Halloween? Sexy cow is taken.
Get these bottles from my collection! bit.ly/bottlesbottlesbottles
Mad Max....Probably making the el diablo for my Halloween party. That one seems to be prep-able and has a bit of show...Also Mules are always in demand so lots of ginger beer.
If I do bother with costume I usually just put on a skull with make-up. It's astonishing how effective that can be.
As a Dwarf blacksmith
I think Sexy Cow should be the name of your new original cocktail.
I'm bartending as Baron Samedi, and definitely doing the El Diablo this way. And the Black Dragon #13 with full credit to you.
That Psycho Killer sounds fa-fa-fa-fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fantastic. Can’t wait to try it.
The El Diablo is definitely one of the cocktails I learned from you I make the most
Same! I’d never even tasted crème de cassis but that recipe seemed so accessible I bought a bottle to try it out. Definitely one of my favorite cocktails on a warm day.
For the Cacao Nib infusion, you can really amplify that chocolate flavor by toasting the nibs breifly In a skillet. I let them infuse a full day at room temp and it is absolutely delicious.
What are coco nibs in English.? 😂 ie I’m English and not heard of these. Please let me know. Regards. Love the channel btw. 🎉
@ace1rtp Coco nibs are nearly unprocessed cocoa. Like chocolate. You can sometimes get them in supermarkets or health shops. If not amazon has them.
El Diablo has been one of my favorite to make for the past few months ever since I started mixing cocktails. My dad loves it, I love it, the presentation is cool, it's just so cool. Thanks for the list Anders :D
A tasty drink, for sure! Happy you guys enjoy it!
Been hoping for this video all month. I'm the designated mixologist for the big Halloween party and I'll definitely be serving up all of these.
Cheers! Hope everyone has a good time - happy mixing!
one, two, three, four cocktails.. ha ha ha 🧛 The Black Dragon No. 13 looks amazing. cheers.
Cheers!
I think the Rattle Skull could easily be added to a Halloween lineup as well, considering I'll already have Stout on hand for the Black Dragon #13!
Definitely welcome on this list!
Love all these drinks, but also - I didn’t see the sexy cow coming at all. 😊 I really enjoy the fun, inspirational and helpful tone you have- it’s always a delight. As an old talking heads fan I’ll definitely will try the Psycho killer!
Thank you so much! Hope you love the drink - Cheers!
definitely took inspiration from the Dragon's Milk cocktail!
and how did it turn out? what did you use?
@@cretos04 thanks for asking! i used bourbon, cold brew, and coffee liquer, the video is on my page!
My original idea for this years Halloween party was to make a batch of Black Manhattans, but decided instead to make like a Clover Club, but with blackberry syrup instead of raspberry. I'm sure it'll turn out great and should please everyone, Clover Club is my fiance's favorite drink and I love blackberries so been eager to try that.

"One original, three that aren't." The sign of a real bartender
You seemed 13-18% tipsy towards the end of the video and I appreciate that! Looking forward making at least 2 of these this week.
Fun, I'll try a couple of those. Here are mine I came up with for the season. 1.5oz dry gin, 1oz pomegranate juice, .5oz dry vermouth. Stir with ice and strain into martini glass. Garnish with lyche fruit stuff with blue berries. I call it the Red Eye.

Day #2, the Black Dragon #13. Only sub was coffee-infused maple syrup for the demerara syrup. Now that is one tasty beverage! Cheers, Anders! 😋
Anders’ cocktail without bitters? What have you done with the real Anders? Bring him back!👽🛸
I have a recommendation! For the garnish on the Black Dragon, you could sprinkle ground coffee (like a nice light roast), or you could also garish it with some large chocolate curls!

I'm going to give that a try. Great call with the citrus! Thanks David - Cheers!
Totally doing the dragon thing! Thanks for the tips! Cheers!
Love that I found your channel. You've introduced me to new booze and cocktails that my wife and I love. To the Bar!
Happy you two are enjoying the content! Cheers!
Anders, you’re just freakin’ awesome.

So when are we going to see an Anders Eriksen cocktail recipe book?
I definitely want to try the Psycho Killer. Living in San Francisco, I often find reasons to try new uses for Irish whiskey. Thanks for the suggestion.
Adding the psycho killer to my to try list! All of these look great!
Mahalo Anders!!! Going to try a few of these tonight🤙
Just tried the black dragon13 using erdinger dunkel. It is magnificent anders you are a real treat.
I'm going to make some diy swedish punsch, and try out the Haunted House. The diy swedish punsch uses Cachaca and a lemon as it's base with a clove and cardamon mixed w/ a black tea syrup.
Another nice selection of amazing drinks for this fun season.
Cheers! Hope you enjoy them!
@@AndersErickson the black dragon 13 sounds like it would be tasty with Breakfast Stout by Founders.
A thumbs up for using an honestly really good drink which is Dragons Milk, I didn't think it would be good at first but that was before I tried it and dang was it just so good by itself, but now I want to try the cocktail that was made here, getting me excited to grab some bottles and make some good drinks.
I’m so happy that you said “Qu'est-ce que c'est?”
I love Talking Heads.
I was just wondering and searched the comments if I was the only one noticing that, 11 months later 😂. No, I wasn‘t. Thank you Holly.
I'm really excited to try the haunted house! get to use the Swedish Punsch that I got for the doctor cocktail.
Oooh, the Psycho Killer intrigues me a lot. I'll need to start infusing some Campari! I'll need to try the Black Dragon No. 13!
Thanks for the great video Anders!
Cheers Joonha! Hope you love them both!
Garnish for the Black Dragon No. 13: 2 bright red Cocktail Cherries on a toothpick as the dragons eyes!
That psycho killer is a beautiful cocktail. I always struggle with using Campari in my own creations because it can be such a divisive ingredient.
A bit of a change up from me on the Black Dragon (no14 😉)Anders, Fiji Ratu Rum 8yo, instead of the cognac, no dem syrup the rum is sweet enough, and an Australian vanilla porter from Brick Lane brewing. Sensational channel and great content, well done bloke, cheers Mate.
I use Dragon's Milk when making pulled pork as part of the braising liquid. Delicious stuff by itself or mixed in a cocktail as well!
As a Michigan Native I always have some Dragons Milk on hand..... No.13 here I come!
El Diablo works really well with a mellow mezcal too. Something like Los Amantes reposado. And it's a good candidate for spicy bitters.
I've been thinking of more smoky, fiery options recently thanks to being in the UK and having a renewed interest in celebrating Guy Fawkes Night this year... But that Psycho Killer has me intrigued, I just can't imagine those flavours combined so perhaps a little research is in order... :)
I’ve made The El Diablo and The Psycho Killer so far. I really enjoyed both, but The Psycho Killer was fantastic! 😋
I made the Black Dragon No. 13 last night for the House of the Dragon finale and loved it! I'm waiting for my Liber & Co. shipment so that I can make The Haunted House to complete the quartet. 😊
Some fun cocktails for sure!!
qu'est-ce que c'est, HA!
You made me spit my drink out.
Love the Nick and Nora glass. Also, for whatever reason, and randomly so, the phrase “…a rich Demerara syrup” clangs around in the Ol’ coconut throughout my work day. 🍹 🍸 🥥

Have to add some coctails to weekend list, useful tips. El diablo was there already btw: D
Made my first El Diablo. Was fantastic. Thanks for the tutorial
I made a round of Black Dragon 13’s for some friends tonight during the House of the Dragon finale and they were a huge hit! The flavors compliment the beer so perfectly. Thanks!
Love Halloween season cocktails. Thanks
For introducing me
To a few more plus your new one. All sound
Fun and spooky. 🎃. Cheers
Thanks for listing the recipes. Keep making these great videos.

Thank you both so much! Happy you’re enjoying the content. I’m with you - Nick and Nora glasses are such a great glass. Cheers!
Well done.
My Lieber & Co order will be arriving today. I'm a huge fan of ginger. I'll need to make the haunted house!
The ginger syrup is great if you like a fiery kick! Cheers Sterling!
Love the El Diablo! My local store did not have creme de cassis, so instead, I used creme de violet (much more purple!) but it still tasted amazing. Spicy ginger beer makes it. I recommend it to everyone!
i think that i could replace the amaro averna with some fernet, and maybe call it Black Dragon N114, or black Culiao N13 (patent pending)
Definitely want to try the black dragon #13 at some point. the dragons milk is probably my favorite of pretty much any beer I've ever had.
I hate myself for not having all the liquours for making all your drinks, i'm fascinated with your content, greetings from Argentina and Venezuela (try Venezuelan Rum btw)
Nothing better than sipping the Psycho Killer at the Dead Rabbit! But I'm looking forward to trying this version at home. Thanks, Anders. When in NYC, Amor y Amargo is also a must-stop.
I made the Diablo a second time tonight but with vodka and I prefer that 🔥
The Black Dragon #13 looks like a great recipe! Coffee, beer, averna… what’s not to like?!
I adore all these drink ideas! What suggestions would you have for drinks fitting the "cinnamon spice" flavor profile?
Made the Haunted House just now. Love the funk.
Love your channel!! Still obsessively making The See No Evil, but maybe I’ll give the black dragon a try. Cheers!
Mmmm dragons milk is my favorite beer. Thanks for making a cocktail with it! Man, within two weeks, you’ve made some of my most anticipated drinks- gotta get to the store!
Also, I love what you did with the set!
Thanks, Cale! Amazing what a little lighting can do!
Anders, we need your version of the French Riviera. It may not be spooky but it's frighteningly sweet. I'm sure you can fix it.
That Fiery Ginger Syrup has a wonderful warmth to it. I use it for ginger whiskey sours. I think I'll grab some Creme de Cassis and make an El Diablo. Cheers, Anders!
Ginger whiskey sours sound excellent! Cheers, Jasmin!
Should have done something like fired nutmeg on top of the black dragon no.13. Would've added to that dragon name!
Happy Halloween Anders!
Happy Halloween!!
Hey, Anders. Love your videos. Always informative AND entertaining. Did the Haunted House tonight. Didn't have the puncsh, so sub'd my homemade spicello. Sounded like the spices were similar. Delish!
These were all great ideas❤️❤️
Always entertaining
"It could be anything a Spider, a Skull, anything"
Me: SAY DRAGON!!!! 🤣
Hahaha yeah I don't know how "dragon" skipped my mind 😂
Love the beer cocktails.
I've been enjoying them too - cheers!
Really liked your Black Dragon, although I used coffee liqueur and no syrup. I wonder which beer would fit this cocktail the most. Probably something not really distinct, no baltic porters, maybe something more neutral?
I do like the El Diablo and want to try the rest. That Black Dragon sounds good and I do have Dragon’s Milk already. Just need all the other ingredients…
Oh, and I’m going to keep making your See No Evil, because it is delicious.
Cheers, Kevin! Happy you like it!
Terrific Halloween cocktails Anders! I like Jillian Vose a lot. She and her partners at The Dead Rabbit have parted ways and she recently opened Hazel and Apple in Charleston, South Caroline.

You could do The Psycho Killer in a bunch of Shot Glasses and Call it The Serial Killer!
Please can you suggest a substitute for sweet vermouth in cocktails like Negroni? As an occasional cocktail maker, I have let a few bottles go bad over the last year

"I am a sexy cow."
I hereby request an original cocktail from you called the "Sexy Cow." 🐄
Haha I like it 🤔
@@AndersErickson There are so many different ways that could go :)
Fore sure making The black dragon no 13
New subscriber here and I love these videos Anders! I started upping my cocktail game thanks to you and now purchasing different kinds of booze than just the run of the mill crap that I grew up with lol. Getting ready to impress the fam during the holidays.

@@AndersErickson ps...thanks also for posting the link to your collection. My small town in WI has podunk liquor stores, void of anything cool like absinthe haha
Thoughts on subbing the red breast with bourbon or toki (in the psycho killer)? :)
A small dragon scale or fang would have been the perfect decoration for that wonderful last potion (it is Halloween after all...).
What do you mean "where to find a scale or fang?", little dragons are adorable when they grow up, they may play a little rough sometimes (what up, Singed-Eyebrows?), but that's where they can shed a baby scale.

Great video, not that you need a gimmick but you totally could've gradually changed into like a werewolf costume lol
I may have to steal that El Diablo to put on our menu
TO THE BAR! 🎃🥃🍻
By the way, nice nod to the song Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads with the drink! I heard the quick “Qu'est-ce que c'est” right after making it. Also covered by my favorite band Phish!

Hi Anders. Thank you so much for all these videos that inspire me a lot. I have a question for a long time. What kind of maraschino sherries do you use for your cocktails ?
I would have been so disappointed if you hadn’t done the overdone scary laugh at the beginning. Well done and great video, as always!
