Halloween Tip # 3

Creepy Cocktails:

Dracula's Kiss

 is a haunting cocktail for Halloween parties. The drink creates two layers: the bottom is red with grenadine and the top is black with cola. Add spiders to the drink or hang them on the glass for a ghoulish finishing touch. Both Smirnoff and Effen make great black cherry vodkas.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz black cherry vodka
• 1/2 oz grenadine
• cola
• maraschino cherries for garnish

Preparation:

1. Coat the bottom of a highball glass with grenadine.
2. Add ice and vodka.
3. Fill with cola.
4. Garnish with cherries.

Ghostbuster

No ghosts in this house, at least not tonight. The Ghostbuster is a fun, simple, neat cocktail that is full of wonderful flavors. The drops of Irish cream create a ghost-like figure in the middle of the glass. A great novelty for Halloween.

Yield: 1 Drink

Ingredients:

• 1 oz peach schnapps
• 1 oz melon liqueur
• 3-5 drops of Irish cream liqueur

Preparation:

1. Pour the peach schnapps and melon liqueur into a cocktail shaker with ice.

3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
4. Add the Irish cream drop by drop into the center of the drink.
