Halloween Drink Recipe: Voodoo Priestess Cocktail

Don't be afraid, the Voodoo Priestess is only a drink. Of course, it's a drink that contains two shots of spiced rum and a little bit of brandy for good measure, so maybe you should worry. Seems like a perfect Halloween drink, but beware - one too many and you'll turn into a zombie (sorry, we couldn't resist).
