Happy Halloween, cocktail enthusiasts!
I know, I know! It would have been cleverer to post this cocktail before the 29th so you could drink it at your Halloween Party on Saturday! Sorry about that ;).
Anyway…Each holiday, you can find cool themed drinks to try on About.com cocktail section. The following martini comes from this year’s list of Halloween cocktails. The idea is good and the drink seems to be flavorful. Let’s see if it works.
The Halloween Hpnotist
Ingredients
- 2 Parts Hpnotiq
- 1 Part Vodka
- Splash of Lemon Juice
- A Glow Stick for Garnish (Don’t eat it!)
Preparation
Pour the ingredients, except the glow stick, in a shaker filled with ice and shake it! (You can moan like a zombie if you wish). Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a glow stick!
Appreciation
The drink is very good…it tastes like Hpnotiq…really, that’s pretty much all there is. Hpnotiq is a vodka based spirit that tastes like tropical fruits. The effect with the glow stick is what’s very cool about it. When your guests or you will take a sip of the ghostly drink it will light your spooky Halloween face. Of course, it will only work in dark areas.
Be sure you don’t do like me and take a glow stick that is too long or it will look silly in the glass. Take a martini glass that’s thinner and deeper, the effect is going to be much better. Also, be careful not to get an orange, green or pink glow stick! Choose blue or white.
The Halloween Hpnotist is Perfect for Halloween, to bad it’s already over!
Enjoy and happy Halloween!
