The Weekly Cocktail Recipe – Harry’s Bar’s ‘Bats Blood’

With plenty of Halloween celebrations taking place across the weekend, this week’s themed cocktail recipe is from Harry’s Bar in Edinburgh.

Having teamed up with R&B Distillers, the bar has crafted a cocktail inspired by the colony of rare Brown Long Eared Bats living on the Isle of Raasay, the site of R&B’s first distillery. A rich blend of crème de cacao brun, Chambord, plum bitters and R&B Distillers’ single malt ‘While We Wait’, the cocktail is garnished with a bat carved from flamed orange peel in honour of the Raasay colony.

The drink will be available for £5 on 31^st October at Harry’s Bar, while the recipe to make the drink at home this weekend can be found below.
