Looking for a blood-red cocktail for Halloween? Make The Headless Horseman, inspired of course by Sleepy Hollow. With spiced rum, vibrant red pomegranate juice, a dash of cinnamon, and a splash of ginger beer, you might just lose your head over this delicious cocktail.

I used Captain Morgan original spiced rum and Reed’s non-alcoholic ginger beer for this recipe. You can buy simple syrup syrup but it’s so easy to make at home. it’s just a 1:1 ratio of water and sugar cooked until it’s clear. I always have some in my fridge!

Don’t skip the cinnamon – it makes this easy cocktail taste like fall! If you’re feeling fancy, add a cinnamon sugar rim for extra yum.

The Headless Horseman

1/4 cup pomegranate juice
2 oz spiced rum
1 Tbsp simple syrup
1 dash ground cinnamon
Ginger beer for topping

1. If desired, make a cinnamon sugar rim for your glass by running a lemon slice around the edge then dipping the glass in cinnamon sugar.
2. Pour pomegranate juice, spiced rum, simple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into glass filled with ice. Top with ginger beer.
