Fill a cocktail shaker three-quarters full will ice. Add the vodka, blue curacao, sweet and sour mix, green apple syrup, and grenadine. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to combine.
Strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with assorted plastic spiders, flies, cockroaches, or gummy worms or eyeballs to create a spooky cocktail your guests will love.
For a spooky effect – layer the ingredients in an ice filled glass and allow your guests to stir the drink together.
Add black cocktail straws and serve immediately.
Notes
Vodka, blue curaçao, grenadine, and green apple syrup are available at most grocery stores and liquor stores.
Sweet and sour mix is also available in stores but I highly recommend making your own at home, using the smaller amount of sugar to keep this drink from being overly sweet.
Always use high quality vodka like Absolut , Stolichnaya, or Grey Goose for the best flavor.
I used a 10-ounce cocktail glass, but an old fashion glass will also work. A highball glass can be used, but they are usually larger (13-ounces) and will require more ice or more cocktail.
Feel free to use whatever spooky garnishes that you like. Plastic bugs frozen in ice cubes would be fun, just make sure to warn your guests so they don’t swallow them as the ice melts!
You can also dip the rim of the glass into the apple syrup, then sugar rim with green or black sanding sugar.
For a large batch: Multiply all of the ingredients by 12 or 15 and pour into a large punch bowl filled with ice. Serve each individual drink with creepy crawlies that are large enough to not swallow, or stick to creepy candy bugs and worms.
