Crystal Lake Martini (Friday the 13th)

Crystal Lake Martini, a vibrant eerie elixir with a lake-greenish hue that’s as chilling as the Friday the 13th movie itself!

As autumn rolls in and the spooky season approaches, there’s no better time to revisit the classic horror films that shaped generations of fright fans. One of the most iconic among them is Friday the 13th—a film that introduced us to the eerie atmosphere of Crystal Lake and the horrors lurking beneath its still waters.

In honor of this iconic slasher flick, I’ve concocted a cocktail as chilling as the movie itself—the Crystal Lake Martini. This eerie elixir combines the fruity notes of Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin, the vibrant sweetness of melon schnapps, and a zesty kick of lemon juice. It’s the perfect drink to sip on while watching Friday the 13th marathons, whether you’re settling in for a quiet night or hosting a fright night with friends.

Let’s dive into the deep, dark waters of this hauntingly delicious martini.

Crystal Lake Martini

The Crystal Lake Martini is a cocktail that balances the spooky with the sophisticated. Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin adds a fruity complexity, while the melon schnapps lends an otherworldly sweetness—much like the eerie, foggy atmosphere around the lake. Lemon juice brightens things up with a tangy edge, echoing the tension that builds throughout the movie.

Whether you’re a horror movie buff or just looking for a unique cocktail with a story behind it, the Crystal Lake Martini is bound to impress. As you sip, the refreshing flavors will keep you grounded—while the chilling inspiration will keep you looking over your shoulder.

Just remember: whatever you do, don’t go near the water…
