Servings: 1
Calories: 389kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Ounces Vodka
- 1 Ounce Sweet and Sour Mix
- 1 Ounce Blue Curacao
- 1 Ounce Cranberry Juice
- ½ Ounce Grenadine
- Ice optional
- Light Corn Syrup optional garnish
- Purple Sanding Sugar optional garnish
- Maraschino Cherries optional garnish
Instructions
- Combine vodka, sweet and sour mix, blue curacao, cranberry juice, and grenadine in a cocktail shaker. If you prefer a chilled cocktail without ice in the glass, add ice to the shaker now. Stir briefly to combine the ingredients.
- Prepare two small plates: one small plate for a shallow layer of light corn syrup and on another place a small mound of purple sanding sugar.
- Dip the rim of your serving glass into the corn syrup, allowing any excess to drip off, then gently roll the rim in the purple sanding sugar until evenly coated.
- If desired, carefully fill the cocktail glass with ice cubes. This step is optional but adds a visually appealing touch.
- Strain the cocktail mixture from the shaker into the prepared glasses.
- Add a maraschino cherry, a plastic spider, and a purple straw for a festive garnish, and enjoy your spooky concoction!
Notes
- For a spookier look, use black sanding sugar instead of purple.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker, use a mason jar with a lid.
- For a stronger drink, add an extra shot of vodka.
- If you don't have grenadine, you can achieve the purple hue by adding a few drops of red food coloring.
- To make a frozen version of this spooky purple people eater cocktail, blend all the ingredients with ice until smooth.
