Wanting to watch a spooky film to celebrate the Halloween season, Karen has chosen the classic 1968 film “Night of the Living Dead” for our viewing pleasure this week. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a “Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita“. The recipe that Karen found on halfbakedharvest.com is below.

Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita Recipe

• cinnamon sugar and flaky sea salt, for the rim
• 2 oz mezcal or silver tequila
• 1/2 oz orange liquor
• 4 oz (1/2 cup) apple cider
• juice from 1/2 a lime
• 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup use more or less to your taste
• apple slices and cinnamon sticks, for serving

Instructions:

If desired, rim your glass in salted cinnamon sugar. Mix equal parts cinnamon sugar and sea salt. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and coat in sugar.
Combine the mezcal or tequila, orange liquor, apple cider, lime juice, and maple in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake to combine. Strain into the glass. Garnish with apple slices, rosemary, and cinnamon sticks. If desired light the cinnamon on fire for a smoky effect.

A Brief Synopsis: A disparate group of individuals takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour. The pragmatic Ben does his best to control the situation, but when the reanimated bodies surround the house, the other survivors begin to panic. As any semblance of order within the group begins to dissipate, the zombies start to find ways inside — and one by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones.
