Halloween Cocktail Drunk Witch (Print version)

A fizzy purple Halloween Cocktail Drunk Witch with vodka, blue curacao, grenadine, lemon-lime soda, and a bright green sugar rim.

# Ingredients:

For the glass

01 - 1 tablespoon simple syrup, for rimming
02 - 2 tablespoons green sanding sugar, for rimming

For 1 cocktail

03 - 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
04 - 1 oz (30 ml) blue curacao

07 - 3 oz (90 ml) chilled lemon-lime soda, or enough to top
08 - 1 tiny pinch edible silver glitter, optional
09 - 1 maraschino cherry and 1 lime wheel, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Dip the rim of a rocks glass in simple syrup, then press it into green sanding sugar. Set the glass aside for a minute so the rim can set.
02 - Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, blue curacao, and grenadine, then shake for 10-12 seconds until well chilled.
03 - Fill the rimmed glass with fresh ice. Strain the shaken purple cocktail base into the glass.
04 - Slowly pour chilled lemon-lime soda down the inside of the glass to keep the bubbles lively.
05 - Add a tiny pinch of edible glitter if using, then garnish with a maraschino cherry and lime wheel. Serve immediately.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served right after topping with soda.
02 - For a party, batch only the vodka, blue curacao, and grenadine. Add soda to each glass.
03 - Use only glitter clearly labeled edible.
