Witches Blood - A Halloween Cocktail
This Halloween cocktail is perfect for whipping up in a big batch for a crowd. An easy to make cocktail that mixes vodka, whiskey and lemon together to create a twist on a whisky sour recipe, but with the added sweetness of cherry. Serve a pitcher of this at your Halloween party, or add it to a punch bowl with some plastic spiders floating in it for a simple creepy effect. Or serve in a sugar rimmed martini glass for a dramatically spooky sip. The possibilities are frightening!
Ingredients
To make a smaller quantity use the slider above to reduce the quantities
- ½ cup cherry schnapps
- ½ cup vodka - see note 1
- 1 cup whiskey
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups cherry soda - see note 2
Instructions
- Pour the cherry schnapps, vodka, whisky and lemon juice into a pitcher.
- Stir well with a cup of ice.
- Gently pour in the cherry soda and stir carefully to combine.
To serve:
- Either pour into punch bowl for guest to help themselves or serve in sugar rimmed glasses with a spooky spider garnish. (see note 3)
Notes
- If you can find black vodka it would be great here, it makes the color much more dramatic. You could add a drop of black food coloring to normal vodka if you want the darker color. (see post for pictures)
- The darker your cherry soda the darker your cocktail will be. I bought a black cherry soda for these photos.
How to sugar rim a glass:
Squeeze some lemon juice into a saucer OPTIONAL STAGE: Add some food coloring, be generous you want the colour to be quite intense. Mix it with a cocktail stick. Dip the glass into the saucer. Dip the coated glass into a saucer of fine sugar. The food colouring will seep into the sugar giving it an coloured hue.
