Description
A spooky good drink to serve at your next Halloween party!
Ingredients
Scale
- light corn syrup
- a few tablespoons equal parts sugar and chili powder
- ice
- 2 shots Irish whiskey (we use Jameson)
- ½ shot simple syrup (see below)
- 1 splash of lime juice
- 1 shot red wine (we like a dry red)
Instructions
- Take a small plate and pour a little light corn syrup down on it. Take a second small plate and add your sugar and chili powder (stir together with a spoon). Dip the rim of each of your cocktail glasses first in the corn syrup and then in your sugar-chili mixture. Repeat.
- Next, add a few scoops of ice to each glass (don’t bump the rims) and start building your drink. We like to use a measuring cup for this part: add in your Irish whiskey followed by your simple syrup, and lime juice. Stir together. Pour this down over your ice.
- Finally, take one shot of red wine and slowly pour that on top of your drink. Add a straw and serve.
Notes
Simple syrups are easy to make! In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine equal parts sugar and water (I typically use ½ cup each). Bring this to a boil and then reduce the heat and allow to boil about two minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using.
