This Halloween cocktail is all about spooky fun and bold colors. The test tube twist makes it party-ready. Your Halloween party guests are going to love the transformation effect.
Fill a cocktail mixing glass (or shaker) about halfway with ice. Add white cranberry-strawberry juice and grape schnapps. Stir or shake until chilled, 15 to 20 seconds.
Strain into martini glass.
Stir in a sprinkle of edible pearl dust, if desired. Use a little or a lot, depending on how much shimmer you want.
In a small container with a pour spout, mix together strawberry-flavored rum and the contents of one activated charcoal capsule. Carefully divide the black rum between two test tubes. Insert test tube into filled martini glass and serve.
To turn the cocktail black, just pour in the contents of the test tube. Add edible star glitter for an extra magical touch, if you’d like.
Notes
Use food grade charcoal: Make sure the charcoal is edible and safe for food use. Make it sparkle: Stir in pearl dust just before serving for maximum shimmer. Serve with style: Use test tubes for a fun potion-style presentation. Pre-chill everything: A cold glass keeps the layers crisp and vibrant.
