To Those Who Insatiably Thirst

Greetings, fellow spooks! Tonight, I thought I'd share my Pinterest collection of spooky, scary Halloween-themed drinks! Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to try any of them, yet; but hopefully it's helpful to those who have a hankering for some Halloween deliciousness:

First, I have a combo of classics: Candy Corn Vodka!

For the infused vodka, you need:
1/2 c Candy Corn
1 1/2 c Vodka

Combine the two ingredients in an airtight container, then let it sit for at least 3 hours. Once you're ready to drink it, strain it, then combine the rest of the ingredients:

For the added cordial, you will need:
2 oz Orange Liqueur
1/2 Lemon, juiced
1 Egg White

Add 4 ounces of the candy corn vodka, along with these ingredients, into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake it out for about 30 seconds, then strain it into a martini glass or two. Use a few spare candy corn to garnish the drink. Enjoy!


Next on the list is: Witches Brew!

What you'll need:
2 1/4 oz Caliche Rum
2 1/4 oz Dark Rum
1 1/4 oz Bacardi 151
2 1/2 oz Pineapple Juice
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Simple Syrup
1 1/4 oz Grenadine

Combine all ingredients in a large goblet (see above) and stir it up until it's that orange-pinkish hue. For garnish, add lots of gummy worms! You know the drill!


Continuing this awesomeness: Liquified Ghost!

What you will need:
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Vanilla Simple Syrup
1 oz Cream
1 oz Sprite or 7-Up

Combine these ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and strain into a martini glass or two. Sip and be spooky responsibly!


The next one is two drinks for one picture: Bloody Scary and Bloody Tooth

Bloody Scary
What you'll need:
4 oz Prosecco
1 oz Blood Orange, squeezed
1/2 oz Campari
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
1 oz Blavod Black Vodka, chilled

In a champagne flute, combine Prosecco, Blood Orange, Campari, and Simple Syrup. Pour Blavod Black Vodka in over a spoon to create the black layer on top.

Bloody Tooth
What you'll need: 
1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey
1 1/2 oz Pomegranate Juice
1 oz Simple Syrup
1/2 oz Lemon Juice, squeezed

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously before straining the concoction into a rocks glass. Garnish it with pomegranate seeds and a lemon twist!


For those who don't drink alcohol: Sparkling Apple Cider Slushies!

Source is linked to the picture.
What you'll need:
1 bottle (24.5 oz) Sparkling Cider, chilled
1 gal Apple Cider

Pour the Apple Cider in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag and freeze it until it's slushy. Pour the slush into a party bowl (this one's for a party, by the way) and pour the Sparkling Cider over it. If you want to have alcohol in this, just replace the Sparkling Cider with Champagne of your choice!

And, now, a couple of recipe pictures found on Tumblr (my tumblr address is thewidowersway.tumblr.com. Follow me!). I'm not sure of the sources.




Stay Spooky and Drink Responsibly!
