Creating Halloween Cocktails with Creepy Rims毕业手抄报
Any drink becomes a Halloween cocktail when the glass is decorated right. Below, you'll find instructions for doing blood-dripped cocktail rims for Halloween drinks, or pretty (or creepy depending on how you do it) colored sugar rims for cocktails.
粗犷是什么意思Simply garnish with a vered finger or a couple of eyeballs and you've got yourlf one very creepy drink.
Bloody-Rimmed Halloween Cocktail Glass
When it comes to making a rim of blood for your Halloween cocktail recipes, you have a couple of options. You can do a cooked mixture of corn syrup and sugar (with red food coloring) to make a candy blood that will stay in place all night. But that mixture will also stay in place the night after that and after that and after that. The stuff is impossible to get off! I find the recipe below to be a nice compromi. It stays in place well (especially on a cold glass), looks nice, but is easy to clean with a bit of hot water.
A blood-rimmed glass looks great with a vampire kiss martini or any other creepy drink. But since the blood runs down the inside of the glass, it also looks really striking with white-colored drinks, such as Bailey's Irish Cream-bad drinks. Play around with it to achieve your favorite look.
平鱼的做法With some Halloween cocktail recipes, you may want to go green-- this effect looks really cool as "slime" or "ectoplasm."
Ingredients:
1/4 C. clear honey or light corn syrup
Red food coloring, as needed (I u gel and so need less)
Instructions: 1. Place honey or corn syrup in a small cup or bowl. Add red food coloring as needed. If using regular food coloring, you'll probably need about 12 drops or so. If using more concentrated food coloring, u less.
2. Either place this mixture on a small plate and dip the rims of your glass in it, al
lowing it to drip down, or u the end of a spoon to do this manually. The cond option is cleaner (it assures you don't get any drips on the outside of the glass) but more time consuming.
Tip: If it's warm in your home, keep the glass cold to keep your blood from dripping too much. 香菇炒辣椒
Colored Sugar Rims for a Halloween Cocktail Recipe
Colored sugar is even easier to make, and looks wonderful on the edge of a martini glass. You can choo to do a fun combination of colors like I did here, or stick with a single color. Green looks great for "slime" or red for "blood." I also love using plain black sugar with a black cocktail for understated creepiness.
Ingredients:
1/2 C. sugar
Choice of food coloring, as needed
Corn syrup, as needed (optional)
Instructions: 1. In a small bowl stir together sugar and food coloring with a fork until well combined. Gel food coloring works best, though it's a bit harder to mix.
2. Place your colored sugar on a small plate in a pattern (as pictured) or as desired.
3. Corn syrup works really well to make the sugar stick to the rim. To u it, pour some on a small plate and dip the rim of your glass on it to coat evenly. (You can also u any other liquid-- it just won't stick as well.)
4. Dip glass carefully into the sugar, shifting it a bit to coat evenly.
5. Voila!
