#4 Zombie Cocktail

Ingredients:

1 oz. apricot brandy
1 oz. light rum
1 oz. dark or Jamaican rum
1 oz. lime juice
2 dashes grenadine
orange juice
1 oz. Bacardi 151 rum

Preparation:

Mix light and dark rum and brandy in a cocktail shaker, add lime juice and grenadine. Shake well and strain into a highball glass filled with cracked ice.

Fill glass with orange juice, but leave enough room to float the Bacardi 151 rum on top. Garnish with a cherry and an orange slice.




#5 Bloody Brain Shooter

Ingredients:

1 1/4 oz. strawberry vodka such as Stoli
1/8 oz. Rose's lime juice
3/4 oz. Bailey's Irish Cream
splash of grenadine

Preparation:

Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker; shake, then strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey's Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey's, put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey's in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey's will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey's.

#8 The Poisoned Apple

 2 ounces apple cider

#9 Jello Shot Syringes

Ingredients

1/4 cup cranberry (or apple cider)
2 Tablespoons agave nectar
1/2 cup rum (or brandy)
dash of red food coloring
1/2 teaspoon agar powder

 The first thing you need to do is to get the syringes from your local drugstore. I had to go to two different places to get a total of 25 syringes. I asked for the “syringes they give to babies with liquid medicine”. I felt a little weird asking to buy 20 syringes from a drive thru pharmacy, but whatever. I explained to each pharmacy tech what I was aiming to do and they looked at me a little less strangely after. CVS gave me 10 for free; Walgreens charged me 10 cents each for 15.
Add your juice, agave nectar, and liquor to a small sauce pan and bring to a nice simmer. Quickly add the agar powder and whisk so that no clumps are left. Simmer for 30 more seconds, then remove from heat and let cool for a minute or so. (Just make sure not to simmer your liquids for too long, as the alcohol content is lessened the longer it cooks.) Fill syringes with liquid and place into fridge for 30 minutes to an hour or more until solidified. During my party I ended up throwing a batch in the freezer for 15 minutes and that seemed to work in a pinch. Just note that these are not as solid as traditonal jello molds, so the syringes really work well in this.
Once they are ready, just serve them over ice and tell friends to shoot up. Ha!
