A Witches Brew cocktail is a fun, spooky drink that's perfect for Halloween. There are many variations, but the drink is beloved for its sweet, tart flavor and bold color.
Here is a simple recipe for a Witches Brew Cocktail plus some extra ways to make it taste/look good.
2 oz vodka (or rum) 1 oz apple cider 1 oz cranberry juice ½ oz fresh lime juice ½ oz simple syrup (optional)
1-2 drops of purple or green food coloring (optional for a spooky effect) Ice Gummy worms, dry ice or any creepy garnish (like lychee "eyeballs")
Use lime juice to wet the rim, then dip it in colored sugar or black sanding sugar.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, apple cider, cranberry juice, lime juice and simple syrup. Add a drop or two of food coloring to resemble a witch’s potion.
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice.
For a spooky look, toss in gummy worms, lychee or drop a small piece of dry ice into the drink to create a foggy effect.
Note: The dry ice is for visual effect only. When using dry ice, handle it with gloves and make sure it melts before drinking to avoid burns from contact with it.
Use this for your concluding slide. Think of it as your final words.
