With Halloween swiftly approaching, we are alway up for something thematic to sip on. A boozy nod to the tale of a witch sentenced to spend a century as a cat for attempting to take over the world, Salem The Cat is a bittersweet concoction that will leave you spellbound come October 31.
This clever potion recipe, if you will, was created by Odd Society Spirits' bar manager, Olivia Povarchook and is easy enough to stir up at home and packs a memorable punch.
If you live in the Vancouver area, head down to Odd Society Spirits' distillery and cocktail lounge between Thursday and Saturday to have Povarchook whip one (or two) up for you.
