Halloween Drinks
What is a party without cool drinks? Abstaining from alcohol as my family and friends do makes party drinks often boring or just more 2 liter bottles of the same old soda. Not for my Halloween parties!
It is amazing what a little creativity and a trip to the thrift store for funky bottles can do to your drink table:
I got these labels at the local Dollar Tree and after 2 trips to the local thrift store I got bottles for them. The really creative part was mixing up the drinks. Even the most basic of lemon-lime carbonated drinks becomes something special with the additions of fruit juices, non-alcoholic mixers, and flavor syrups.
Here are some of my favorites (the amounts you add are up to your personal taste):
Embalming fluid:
Orange soda & pineapple juice
Blood:
Lemon-Lime soda, Pomegranate Juice, & Cranberry Juice
Sulfuric Elixir:
Lemon-Lime or Mountain Dew, Sweet-Sour mixer, Lemon Juice
Spider Venom:
Soda Water, Blueberry Juice, & Blue Raspberry Syrup (Torani is best)
Zombie Virus:
Soda/ Tonic water & Green Apple syrup (Torani is best)
Liquid Phantom:
Soda/ Tonic water & Blue Raspberry Syrup (Torani is best)
These last 3 with soda or tonic water and syrup are the first 2 steps in a really delightful drink, all you have to do to them is add some cream, whipped or unwhipped, to make a fantastic and delicious italian cream soda. I often serve cream on the side with the drinks saying something like "the spider venom is strong and best cut with a little cream..."
Yeah I know, I am a little odd.
A note on Tonic Water, tonic water is cool but you have to be cautious with it. It contains Quinine and will glow under black lights. It is a really cool effect but it may be bad for some of your guests so get acquainted with it if you are going to use it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_water
Above all for a successful Halloween party, have fun!
