Want to do some experimenting on Halloween? Get in the spirit and create a cocktail that looks like you are serving your guests a witches potion! This is one of our favorite recipes, and dry ice always makes things more interesting. Consider using a professional cocktail glass to make it even better!
Ingredients
- 100% Raspberry Juice (1 Tbsp per drink)
- Vanilla Syrup (1/4 Tbsp per drink)
- Vodka (optional)
- Champagne or Sparkling wine
- Fresh blackberry for garnish
- Dry ice (optional)
Directions
- Add raspberry juice, vanilla syrup, ice, and vodka in a cocktail shaker – mix well
- Fill the mixture halfway in a glass and top with champagne
- Garnish with Blackberry’s
ADD DRY ICE (OPTIONAL)
Dry Ice (Food grade) can be purchased at most grocery stores. Buy a block suitable to how many cocktails you will make.
Chizzle off normal size ice cubes and add one to each drink (make sure to wear gloves & eye safety wear)
Safety notes on Dry Ice (food grade): Never allow dry Ice to touch your skin! Always handle with gloves and safety glasses (or sunglasses) DO NOT CONSUME! I know you’re thinking, “Then why the heck am I putting it in my drink?!”. Good thing is that dry ice is dense so it will sink to the bottom and doesn’t melt like normal ice. Just be sure to tell everyone to be cautious of the cube and not to swallow it.
