Create This Traditional Halloween With Sizzling Cocktail Drinks
Turn any drink into an interesting Halloween cocktail instantly by using the right glass decoration. Depending on how you do it, Halloween cocktail drinks can be a really creepy or even pretty treat to serve at your Halloween party. Here are some creative ways worth a try:
Bloody cocktail rim
There are several options when making the rim of your cocktail glass dripping with blood. Try mixing corn syrup, sugar and red food coloring then cook it to make sweet-flavored blood. This mixture is guaranteed to stay in your glass the entire night. However, it can cling on to your glasses for a longer time and may be harder to remove.
When the party is finished, bring your glasses back to its squeaky cleanness by wiping the mixture with hot water. This bloody mixture is awesome with a martini or any of your choice drink. It also looks stunning with white, creamy booze like Bailey’s.
Make your party guests pay more attention to the decoration than simply sipping on the cocktails. Experiment with different designs to have that look you want. Green and red are popular colors during Halloween, think slime, goo or blood. If those elements are what you want to incorporate into your Halloween cocktails, here’s something you might want to follow:
Ingredients:
Quarter cup corn syrup
Red food coloring
To prepare, put corn syrup inside a small bowl. You could also use clear honey as substitute. Then, add about 12 drops of food coloring. Put fewer drops if concentrated. Transfer the mixture onto a small plate for dipping your glasses’ rims. Let it drip down. If you prefer to make this manually, use the tip of your spoon.
This is actually less messy than the first since your mixture will not drip on the outside of your glass. However, it can take up more of your time. As an added hint, keep the glasses inside a cool place to prevent the mixture from dripping excessively.
