The most ghoulish time of the year is upon us, and Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge brings a unique twist to the saying, “witching hour” with its Halloween inspired cocktail, the Basic Witch. Available for the month of October, the delicious potion is a spellbinding combination of Blackheart Premium Spiced Rum, Fulton’s Harvest Pumpkin Pie Liqueur, barrel-aged bitters and a pinch of Maldon Sea Salt. The Basic Witch is priced at $14 and pairs nicely with light bites such as the fan-favorite Arancini (risotto fritters with mascarpone, roasted mushrooms and truffle aioli), Olive Poppers (crispy olives stuffed with chorizo) and the Lebanese Platter (house-made hummus, fresh tabbouleh, quinoa and cous cous).
Double Helix is open 4:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 4:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
