Scream VI is coming to theaters March 10 and Espolón Tequila, the film’s tequila partner, created the official cocktail of the movie - the Empire Screamer - so fans can prepare to see the year’s most anticipated horror movies.

The Empire Screamer is a scary-good take on the classic margarita complete with Espolòn’s award-winning Reposado and a bleeding fruit garnish that pays homage to the film’s iconic Ghostface killer.  To get ready for the next Scream movie, here is the Empire Screamer recipe.
