Ingredients
Scale
Rim
- Simple syrup
- Halloween cake sprinkles
Cocktail
- 2 oz Blue Curacao
- 2 oz Vodka
- 2 oz Raspberry Schnapps (Razzmatazz)
- 4 oz Sweet and Sour Mix
- 3 oz Grape Juice
- 1 Tbsp Silver cake shimmer
- ½ oz Grenadine
- Ice (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the rim: Pour simple syrup onto a small plate and Halloween cake sprinkles onto another separate small plate.
- Rim the glasses: Dip the rim of each glass first into the simple syrup, then into the sprinkles to coat the edges.
- Set the rims: Place the rimmed glasses upside down on a surface and let them sit for 10 minutes to allow the rim to set properly.
- Prepare the glass: Fill each glass with ice to chill and prepare for the cocktail.
- Add grenadine: Pour ½ oz of grenadine into each prepared glass, allowing it to settle at the bottom for a layered effect.
- Mix the cocktail: In a pitcher, combine Blue Curacao, vodka, raspberry schnapps, sweet and sour mix, grape juice, and silver cake shimmer.
- Stir well: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the shimmer is evenly distributed.
- Pour the cocktail: Carefully pour the mixed cocktail over the grenadine and ice in each glass.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish the cocktail as desired, and serve immediately for a festive and delicious experience.
Notes
- Allowing the rim to set by letting the glasses sit upside down helps the sprinkles adhere better and reduces mess.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of grenadine or sweet and sour mix according to taste.
- Silver cake shimmer adds a beautiful sparkling effect but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve immediately after preparation for best flavor and visual appeal.
