FRIDAY COCKTAIL - WICKED WITCH APPLE PUNCH

If you are having a Halloween party, this is a great drink and makes a great presentation if you can get your hands on a little dry ice. Make a trip to your local party store and buy a big black witch's cauldron too...they are super cheap..OMG am I sounding like Sandra Lee when she describes her "table-scapes"????? Yikes

Ingredients:

One 750ml bottle of SKYY Passion Fruit Vodka

One 750ml bottle of sparkling apple cider

One 64oz bottle of cranberry juice cocktail

One liter ginger ale

2 cups pineapple juice

Red Apples, cut in large slices

Combine all ingredients in a large black witch's cauldron with ice and stir. Garnish with the apple slices and the dry ice on top!

Very fun!

ENJOY!

FRIDAY COCKTAIL - BLACK WIDOW

It's OCTOBER

and that can only mean

HALLOWEEN

So let the planning begin. My daughter and her friends spend endless hours planning the perfect group costume ensemble...crazy....this year it went from Jersey Shore characters to Glee folks...quite a stretch!

I remember the days of ballerinas and Cinderellas and dressing my son up as a pumpkin ...year after year...he didn't care..IT IS ALL ABOUT THE CANDY anyway.

Well here is the first of several "adult" options for your Halloween parties

Black Widow

1 part good vodka (recipe called for 42 Below)

2 parts dark grape juice

1 tsp raw sugar

4 slices fresh ginger

4 blackberries

ice

2 blackberries for garnish

Muddle together the 4 blackberries, ginger and sugar, add the vodka (then add a smidge more). Shake well and strain into a well chilled martini glass. Garnish with 2 blackberries.

You can add the plastic black widow spider too!

ENJOY!
