Instructions

1️⃣ Rim the Glass

• Dip the rim of your glass in orange juice or simple syrup, then coat it with black sugar for a spooky effect. Set aside.

2️⃣ Mix the Base

• In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, combine:
  ✔ Whipped cream vodka
  ✔ Orange vodka
  ✔ Orange juice

3️⃣ Shake It Up

• Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

4️⃣ Strain into the Glass

• Fill the black sugar-rimmed glass with crushed ice.
• Strain the shaken mixture over the ice.

5️⃣ Add the Finishing Touches

• Slowly pour a splash of grenadine into the drink—it will sink to the bottom, creating a “bloody” effect.
• Add a splash of cream on top for a smooth, ghostly swirl.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve

• Top with a marshmallow ghost for a fun Halloween touch!
• Sip & enjoy this creepy, creamy, and citrusy delight!

Notes

• Want a stronger kick? Increase the vodka to 2 oz each.
• Prefer it creamier? Add ½ oz of vanilla creamer instead of just a splash of cream.
• Make it frozen! Blend all ingredients with ice for a frosty, spooky slush.
• No black sugar? Mix granulated sugar with black food coloring or use crushed black candy.

Helpful Tips Ghostly Orange Haunt

• Use Fresh Orange Juice – Freshly squeezed orange juice enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness.
• Chill the Glass for an Extra Spooky Look – Place the glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving.
• Try a Whipped Cream Float – Instead of cream, top with whipped cream for extra fluffiness.
• Turn It Into a Punch! Multiply the ingredients and serve in a Halloween-themed punch bowl.
• Add a Foggy Effect! Drop a small piece of dry ice for a smoky, eerie vibe.
