The Lady in Blue

A variation on a White Lady, this gin-based coupe carries crème de violette, orange flower water and edible flower petals, but blue curaçao is the crown jewel. It’s poured last to complete the cocktail, a tribute to the long-term ghostly guest of Louisville's Seelbach Hotel. Get the recipe for The Lady in Blue.

Jack O'Lantern Martini

Hold on, pumpkin-haters. There’s no actual squash in this cocktail, only a cheerful grinning garnish carved from a whole orange. Mesmerized by their personal jack o’lantern, your party guests probably won’t even notice the cocktail underneath. But you’ll be happy to hear that it’s a speedy shakerful of vodka, fresh orange juice and triple sec. That’s good, because you’ll need that extra prep time for carving. Get the recipe for the Jack O’Lantern Martini.
