We are in the Halloween spirit in The Reading Lounge as we discuss Frankenstein. Go beyond the movies to enjoy the gothic story written by 18-year-old Mary Shelley. Tell us what you think of this original horror story.

Pour yourself a Frankenstein cocktail while you listen to get into the spirit.

Frankenstein

1.5 oz vodka

1 oz melon liqueur (we used Midori)

1/2 oz fresh lime juice

2 oz ginger beer

Mix all ingredients over ice and garnish with a gummy worm or two for a special Halloween treat.

Enjoy!
