Freddy’s Boilermaker
A Nightmare on Elm Street, 1984
Beer, Cinnamon Whisky, Rich.
Step into the lair of horror’s most iconic dream demon with Freddy’s Boilermaker—a bone-chilling concoction that pays homage to both the film A Nightmare on Elm Street and a classic pub favorite. This diabolical drink combines the dark but mischievous tone of the film with the fiery essence of Freddy Krueger himself—all with a cinnamony kick! Legend has it that the first sip will transport you to the dark, twisted corridors of your worst nightmares. Brace yourself for a taste that lingers long after the nightmare is over . . . .
Movie Morsel: Did you know that the idea for Freddy Krueger was inspired by true events? Wes Craven read an article about a young boy who was plagued by nightmares and later died in his sleep. This chilling real-life event became the foundation for one of the most notorious horror villains of all time. Sweet dreams . . . .
