Halloween Cocktail Potions

This spooky spritzer, also known as the Moonlight Monster is sure to be a hit with your guests. A combination of pomegranate blueberry juice, lemon-lime vodka and whole blackberries makes a refreshing yet spooky cocktail. Garnish the glass with black sanding sugar and whole blackberries.

The Ghoulish Grapefruit, is an upscale version of the popular college frat party drink, Hop, Skip and Go Naked. Instead of using cheap beer, vodka, Sprite and frozen limeade, this cocktail is a bit more sophisticated. IPA, grapefruit juice, lemon vodka and simple syrup are combined to make this refreshing and colorful cocktail. Its orange color makes it perfect for the fall season too! Cheers!
