It’s Thursday and cocktail time here on My Breakfast At Tiffany’s! Since this weekend will be filled with Ghouls, Goblins, Vampires and Witches, I decided to post some Halloween inspired cocktail recipes. The easiest way to create spooky cocktails is to use black vodka. It should be available at your local liquor store, but if you can’t find it, then stick to some of these other creepy drinks!
Blood Sucker Cocktail
1 1/2 oz Bacardi O
1/2 oz Cointreau
2 oz pineapple juice
drizzle of grenadine
In cocktail shaker with ice combine Bacardi O, cointreau, and pineapple juice; shake well. Pour over ice in a cocktail glass. Drop a couple drops of grenadine onto inside of glass to create spooky bloody drizzles.
Blood Sucker Cocktail
Black Devil Martini
2 oz dark rum
1 oz dry vermouth
black olives on a toothpick
Shake dark rum and dry vermouth with ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with orange sugar. Garnish with black olives.
Black Devil Martini
Almond Joy Martini
1 oz chocolate flavored vodka
1 oz Frangelica
1 oz coconut rum
Combine all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and shake well. Pour into a chilled martini glass and let the kid in you enjoy!
Almond Joy Martini
Screwed-Up Screwdriver
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange or tangerine juice
1 1/2 oz black vodka
1 black licorice twist, for serving
Place ice in a tall glass and pour juice in to half way up the glass. Pour vodka over the back of a cocktail spoon into glass so it sits on top of juice and creates a layer of blackness. Slice 1/4 inch off each end of licorice, and use as a straw.
