Drrrrrrinks! What’s an adult Halloween party without good drinks?
During EP #01, I recommended two drinks: the
Halloween Hpnotist and the
Zoe Grimm Reaper.
I discovered the
Halloween Hpnotist through
about.com and, after trying it for myself, absolutely had to share with others. It is a great drink to serve at a party, and it’s simple to mix up.
Halloween Hpnotist
- 2 parts Hpnotiq liqueur
- 1 part vodka
- Splash of lemon juice
On
about.com, they suggest garnishing the drink with a glowstick. That does certainly up the ‘wow’ factor of the drink’s look, but I’m not a fan of inedible garnishes so I opt for garnishing this drink with a cherry.
Whenever I make my own cocktails, I go by taste. (Exact measurements are for pansies.) But I’ve made and drank the
Zoe Grimm Reaper on a few different occasions, and these are the proportions I tend to stick to:

Zoe Grimm Reaper
- 1 part Vodka
- 1 part Gin
- ½ part Tequila
- ½ part Triple Sec
- ½ part Simple Syrup
- Squirt of freshly squeezed lemon juice
For an added treat, serve the
Zoe Grimm Reaper over blood red, blood orange ice cubes. To make the cubes:
- Juice a bag of blood oranges. (Optional: add some black or red food coloring to the juice to intensify the color.)
- Pour blood orange juice into ice cube trays and place in the freezer until frozen (approx. 8 hours).
