Stranger Things Cocktail: The Eleven

Who misses “Stranger Things” the series besides me? It's hard to wait a year every year until July 4th to see the new season, but more so now since we don't know when we'll get the next one. I DO know there's a strong possibility they may have started filming again in Atlanta, Georgia, which is where they've filmed a lot of the show. While we wait we can try a new cocktail inspired by Milly Bobby Brown‘s character “Eleven”.

I recently found a fantastic Halloween blog created by Miranda called SpookyLittleHalloween.com . This cocktail and post is featured on her blog so I am merely passing it along. As part of my Halloween page's content, I will be featuring her story the first week of October. Please visit her blog and read her posts about decorating, recipes, party ideas, and more.

Recipe Notes

I made this using a classic sour recipe. You can swap out the lemon juice and egg white for your favorite sour mix.

Note: consume raw eggs at your own risk. (I like to live dangerously…)

While we wait for a new season of “Stranger Things”, enjoy the fall and all of its spooky magic!
