    One of my favorite cocktails! Easy, tasty, and fun!

    Halloween is such a fun holiday. I love to make all the treats!

    I’ve shared my easy Witches Brew Cocktail with you before but I knew I wanted to make something extra fun and new with this drink. So here you have my Cauldron Cocktail!

    I thought it would be great to have the crisp taste of Sprite mixed with some yummy Bacardi Rum and a little cranberry juice. It turned out delicious!

    Everyone always loves having a fun Halloween cocktail!

    The only thing it needed was more of a Halloween look. All I did was add a little black gel food coloring and some dried ice and voila- the perfect Cauldron Cocktail!

    This easy Halloween cocktail recipe comes together quick and is definitely something I can't wait to enjoy every Halloween.

     

    How to make a sugar rimmed glass?

    Sugar rimmed glasses are so easy and fun to make. Simply swipe the rim of your glass with a sugary liquid. A little bit of the Sprite works great or a simple syrup (sugar water) works too.

    I like to get a little of the inside and outside of the glass sticky in order to get a nice sugar rim.

    Sugared rims are such a fun touch!

    Place colored sugar crystal or sprinkles on a plate and gently spin the glass rim around in them. It’s that easy!

    Sometimes I like to make up a bunch of glasses with sugared rims ahead of time for my guest, but it’s also fun to lay out a variety of different colors and let them make their own.

    How to make Cauldron Cocktail Halloween Drink?

    • Make a sugar rimmed glass
    • Combine Bacardi Rum with cranberry juice, sprite, and a tiny drop of black food gel (a little goes a long way!).
    • Add a little dried ice and enjoy!

    Don't worry, I promise not to spam you!

    How do you make smokey Halloween Drinks?

    Simply place a little dry ice in you cup! Or add to a punch bowl.

    Use tongs or gloves to handle it- otherwise it will burn you.

    If your glass is really full and you add too big of a chunk, it can cause your drink to overflow. Trust me I’ve done it before!

    Make sure to use tongs to add dry ice to your drink- and DON'T sallow any!

    Is it safe to put dry ice in a drink?

    Yes, but DO NOT CONSUME ANY OF THE DRY ICE. What do I mean?

    Either allow the dry ice to evaporate all the way before drinking or sip the drink being careful not to let any chunks of the dry ice get near your mouth. It will burn your mouth and throat if you swallow it.

    Dry ice will typically sink to the bottom of the cup so it’s not too hard to avoid, but sometimes when the dry ice is small it will rise to the top of the drink.

    I love how these drinks look almost as much as I love how tasty they are!

    Make sure you tell your guests not to burn themselves and always drink responsibly.

    Halloween drinks that smoke are extra fun that really take your Halloween party to the next level.

    Notes

    Tips and Tricks
    *It is very important that you wait until the dry ice has completely dissolved before you drink your cocktail. You do not want to ingest the dry ice. Dry ice will burn you so either use gloves or tongs to place it in your drink.
