Morgue-A-Rita {Halloween Cocktail 2017}



I am always searching for a SPOOKtacular and yummy Halloween-inspired cocktail to share with my readers. I think I have found a yummy one. The Morgue-A-Rita is by Sam Henderson, a contributor to HGTV.com. Click HERE.


Ingredients



Goo: 


  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • green food coloring


Cocktail: 


  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup club soda
  • 3/4 cup tequila
  • 3 ounces triple sec
  • 4 cherries
  • 4 teaspoons maraschino cherry syrup


Yield: 4 cocktails


Instructions


1: Mix together 1/4 cup light corn syrup with green food dye. Tip: Start with just a little coloring and add until you get the desired color then set aside.
2: Place glasses in the freezer to frost them. When frozen, dip each glass into the green syrup and invert to allow the syrup to drip slightly. Return glasses to the freezer to set.

3: Insert stirrers through maraschino cherries for each drink and set aside.


4: Juice the limes and strain if desired to remove pulp (Image 1).


5: Combine tequila, triple sec and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until very cold (Image 2).


6: Pour one teaspoon of the maraschino cherry syrup into the bottom of each glass. Add a cherry and stirrer to each glass.

7: Carefully pour the margarita mixture into each glass till about 3/4 full. Tip: Pour very slowly to avoid disturbing the syrup on the bottom.
8: Top off each drink with 1/4 cup club soda and serve immediately.

And I love the name, MORGUE-A-RITA! Clever!
