Zombie Cocktail Recipe

I'm continuing with the Halloween cocktails - today's recipe is for the Zombie.  There are different recipes for Zombies - all of them involve rum and a mix of fruit juices.  This is the Trader's Vic's recipe from Trader Vic's Tiki Party!.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz silver rum
• 1 oz dark rum
• 1 1/2 oz orange juice
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 1 oz blue curaçao
• 1/4 oz lime juice
• 1/4 oz grenadine
• 1 cup crushed ice 

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Serve in a tiki mug or your glass of choice - I picked a skull mug for this one!

Bruja's Brew Cocktail

Today I've got another Halloween-inspired cocktail I created - the tequila-based Bruja's Brew.  And while the ingredients don't include eye of newt or toe of frog, the drink has a complex taste - at once peppery, herbal and tart.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz tequila
• 2 oz blood orange juice (can substitute regular orange juice)
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz creme de cassis
• 1/4 oz chartreuse
• 1 cup crushed ice

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Serve in a tiki mug or glass of your choice, and enjoy this potion!

Vicious Vamp Cocktail

Since it's almost Halloween, I felt like making some spooky cocktails.  These would be perfect to serve at a Halloween party (or to enjoy any time!) Today I'm sharing the recipe for one I created called the Vicious Vamp. It's a pinky-peach cocktail with a splash of red - it looks like a vampire just finished with a victim!

Ingredients:

• 2 oz grapefruit vodka
• 1 oz grapefruit juice
• 1 oz lime juice
• 1/2 oz orgeat
• 1/4 oz grenadine
• 1 cup crushed ice

Combine the grapefruit vodka, grapefruit juice, lime juice, orgeat, and ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.  Add the grenadine as a float.

Serve in a tiki mug or glass of your choice, and suck it down!
