Easy To Make Halloween Cocktails

I love a good excuse for cocktails! Halloween is the time you can go a bit mad with them! Here are a few of my favourite jugs, single serve cocktails and shooters for Halloween! Sorry there are no pictures of the actual drinks!

Jugs

Each jug makes approx. 1L (warning: these are pretty strong!)

 

1. Red Devil

175ml medium dry white wine

50ml Malibu

50ml Peach Schnapps

1 bottle of Old Mout Pomegranate and Strawberry cider

150ml lemonade (you can add more or less of this depending on how strong you want the drink to be!)

 

Mix all of the drinks together and use red berries (strawberries, raspberries, red currants etc) to decorate.

 

2. Green Goblin

50ml Blue Curacao

50ml Goldschlager

3 bottles of blue WKD

250ml fresh orange juice

50ml tonic water

 

Mix all of the drinks together, and add slices of green apple. Decorate with kiwi slices.

 

Single serve cocktails

 

1. Swamp water

50ml blackcurrant flavour Sourz

25ml vodka

1 can Red Bull (or other energy drink)

Coloured sherbert

 

Mix the vodka and Sourz. Very slightly dampen the rim of the glass you wish to serve the drink in and firmly press it into the sherbert. Carefully pour in the vodka and Sourz mix and top up with half a can of Red Bull

 

2. Black Heart

100ml cranberry juice

25ml Cointreau

50ml Black vodka

 

Pour the Cointreau and cranberry juice into your serving glass. Pour the black vodka into a smaller glass. Take a spoon and hold it against the side of your serving glass upside down. Very slowly and carefully pour the black vodka down the side of the glass and onto the spoon. If you do this correctly, the black vodka will float.

 

Shooters

 

1. Brain Haemorrhage

25ml cherry Sourz

10ml Baileys

 

Pour the Sourz into a 35ml shot glass. Fill a separate shot glass with Baileys. Place a straw straight up in the Baileys making sure it's not pressed to the bottom of the glass. Place your thumb over the top, and keeping the thumb in place, lift the straw out. Still with your thumb on the straw, place the other end into the centre of your Sourz. Slowly life your thumb until the Baileys starts to trickle out and form a ball in the centre. Make a ball roughly the size of a Malteaser.

 

2. Satan's Piss

This one is not for the faint hearted!

15ml Jagermeister

10ml chilli vodka

Tabasco sauce

 

Mix the Jagermeister and chilli vodka in a shot glass. Add a tiny splash of Tabasco sauce!

 

Happy Cocktailing!

Tropical Fruit Punch Cocktail Recipe

Summer is the ideal time for a nice fruity cocktail to go alongside your barbecue, or just because it's sunny, so I thought today I would share with you a recipe for a new cocktail I have been working on. It's a lovely simple recipe and it tastes so good!

 

 



 

To make 1 litre, you will need:

*500ml Strawberry cider (In the picture above I used Old Mout strawberry and pomegranate, but I have also used Kopparberg strawberry and lime and Brothers strawberry cider and all have worked nicely.)

*200ml White Zinfandel rose wine
*50ml Malibu
*50ml Vodka
*200ml Lemonade (you can add more or less lemonade to suit your taste and strength required)

Mix all the ingredients together in a jug or bowl, and refrigerate until ice cold. For best results, put your serving glasses in the freezer for about 20 minutes immediately prior to serving.

If you want to add ice and fruit, I prefer to add them to the serving glasses rather than the jug or bowl to stop the flavour being impaired. I like to use sliced strawberries and bananas and a slice of pineapple to decorate the glass, but you can use any you want to.
For a quirky touch if you are serving to guests, why not use fresh coconuts cut in two instead of glasses?

Let me know what you think!
