Pretty Marinated: Frightful Cocktails for Halloween
[Mary Kong] 10 21 2011Get ready because Pretty Marinated gets you soaked in buzz-worthy spirits, wine and beer.
It’s almost Halloween! One of two times a year when it’s okay to dress like a slutty sailor–the other being Comic-Con. Last year, I dressed up as the Borg Queen and was told that she’s not a dominatrix. I told the guy to use his imagination. Then I assimilated him.

Halloween is one of the biggest parties of the year, so if you’re going to look easy, you might as well drink easy:
PS 7′s “cuptails” mean you can have your cake and drink it too.
The Headless Horseman ($3, pictured right) is a hybrid of pumpkin walnut cake soaked with Blanton’s Bourbon, with spice cream cheese frosting. Don’t let the coyness fool you, each morsel holds an ounce of liquor. 777 I Street NW Washington, DC.202.742.8550.
A classic cocktail with a painful name, Blood & Sand ($11) at The Atlas Room is cool and gritty with Famous Grouse Scotch whiskey, vermouth, Cherry Heering and fresh orange juice. Shaken and served with an orange zest. 1015 H Street NE, Washington, DC. 202.388.4020.
