The Jack Skellington Cocktail (nightmare Before Christmas)
 
One of my absolute favorite times of the year is HALLOWEEN. Second favorite? Christmas! One thing that ties both of these holidays together is Nightmare Before Christmas, which is now a classic for the young and old. I love Jack Skellington so much that I made a cocktail in his likeness – black & white with a dash of Christmas in the peppermint stick!
 
The Jack Skellington Cocktail (nightmare Before Christmas)
 
Halloween Town is a fantasy world filled with monsters, ghosts, ghouls, goblins, zombies, demons, mummies, vampires, werewolves, and witches. Jack Skellington, the “Pumpkin King,” leader of the town, and main protagonist leads them in organizing the annual Halloween celebrations. However, privately Jack has grown weary of the same routine year after year and wants something new. Wandering in the woods the morning after Halloween, he stumbles across seven trees containing doors leading to towns representing various holidays, and opens a portal to Christmas Town. Awed by the unfamiliar holiday, Jack returns to Halloween Town to show the residents his findings, but they fail to grasp the idea of Christmas and compare everything to their ideas of Halloween, although they do relate to one Christmas Town character; a red lobster-like king who flies at night named “Sandy Claws”. Jack sequesters himself in his tower to study Christmas and find a way to rationally explain it, but cannot. He ultimately decides that it’s unfair for Christmas Town alone to enjoy the holiday and announces that he and the citizens of Halloween Town will take over Christmas this year.
