Chill the liquors
Slowly pour Bailey's over. Don't mix!
In a moment, the Bailey's will begin to clump and "curdle" and look like a brain. Pour a tiny amount of grenadine "blood" over.
Watch your guests gag over the look of one of the nastiest-looking Halloween drinks around.
Swamp Water
Filled with gummy creatures and fish eggs made from tapioca pearls, this sweet, bubbly drink looks like something scooped up from a deep, dark bog. Try making a batch for a Halloween gathering or as a spooky after-dinner treat.
1/2 cup small tapioca pearls (found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores)
Food coloring
4 tablespoons sugar
8 gummy fish
Seltzer water
Lemonade
Rum
8 gummy worms
MAKE THE EGGS: Bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Reduce the heat slightly and boil the pearls, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes.
COLOR THE EGGS: Divide the pearls, with the remaining water, between two bowls. Add 4 drops of food coloring (we used 3 drops of yellow and 1 drop of green in one bowl, and 4 drops of blue in the other) and 2 tablespoons of sugar to each bowl. Stir the mixtures, then allow them to sit uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse the pearls with cold water.
ASSEMBLE THE DRINK: Spoon 2 tablespoons of pearls into each glass and drop in a gummy fish. Fill the glasses with seltzer water, then add a splash of lemonade and rum to taste. Place a gummy worm around a spoon as shown.
Magpie
It's legal in the UK to humanely kill and eat magpies. In fact people did that during the world wars when food was very scarce but there's very little meat and it's stringy (so I've been told). Don't let that deter you from trying this magpie recipe. There are no birds involved!!
1.0 oz. Cream
0.5 oz. White Creme de Cacao
1.0 oz. Melon Liqueur
1.0 oz. Vodka
Fill a mixing glass with ice and add all ingredients. Shake then strain into a glass filled with ice. Enjoy!
