Paddle Hard's Cinnamon Ghoul

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Nov. 2, 2024

Halloween might be over, but we’re still feeling the spooky energy and seeking a ghoulishly-good cocktail! Enter: the newly-concocted Cinnamon Ghoul ($8) at Paddle Hard Brewing in Grayling. Inspired by the decadence of a freshly-dipped caramel apple, this fall-ified White Russian riff combines a base of Carolan’s Irish Cream with Buttershots Schnapps (that’s Pucker-like butterscotch liqueur) and a splash of Crown Apple Canadian Whiskey. Creamy and sweet with an apple-y bite, this potion—we mean drink—is shaken until frothy and served on ice with a cinnamon sugar rim with gooey caramel sauce and a cinnamon sugar donut as garnish. A little extra treat with our trick? Yes, please! (Enjoy one alongside the S’moreo dessert for an extra sugar buzz!) Find Paddle Hard Brewing at 227 Michigan Ave. in Grayling. paddlehardbrewing.com
