Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces Rum
  • 3 ounces Cran-Grape juice
  • Sprite to top
  • 2 drops black food coloring gel
  • 2 tablespoons purple sanding sugar for rimming
  • 0.5 ounce simple syrup for rimming

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the glass: swipe the rim with simple syrup, then dip it into a plate filled with purple sanding sugar. Gently swirl the glass to ensure the rim is evenly coated.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the Bacardi rum, Cran-Grape juice, and black food coloring.
  • Shake well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the color is evenly distributed.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared glass, taking care not to splash the sugared rim.
  • Slowly top off the cocktail with Sprite, being mindful to avoid disturbing the sugared rim.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the spooky, fruity flavors of this Halloween-themed cocktail!

Notes

Pro Tips
  • To enhance the spooky effect, consider adding a Halloween-themed garnish, such as a plastic spider or a black straw.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of Sprite or using a flavored sparkling water for a different twist.
  • For a more intense color, add an extra drop of black food coloring gel.
