For this cocktail I got my inspiration from a recipe off of the Weight Watchers website for a mulled apple cider with some twists on the spices, juices, ratios and of course the addition of rum. I used "The Kraken" black-spiced rum in this recipe. This is a monsters and eyeballs drink and not for the faint of heart!
In a large
pot combine
64oz of 100%
apple juice
3 cups of
cranberry juice (100% juice)
1/2 cup of
pomegranate juice (100% juice)
* all above
with no sugar added
Add
Add
2 sticks of
whole cinnamon
3 whole
cardamom pods
1/2 whole
nutmeg
1 tsp whole
cloves
1/2 tsp
whole white peppercorns
Bring to a
simmer and keep on low heat for 30 minutes. Strain into a crock pot to
keep warm during a party or else just strain out the mulling spices and keep on
a low heat on the stove.
To rim the
cups pour some honey on a saucer and a pack or two of pop rocks (pumpkin patch
orange flavor if you can find it) into a separate saucer. Dip the cup
into the honey and then swirl in the pop rocks. You need the honey to
make the pop rocks stick to the rim. If you can't find pop rocks you can
rim with a nice cinnamon-spiced sugar.
Add 1 to 2
oz of "The Kraken" black-spiced rum to a cup that has been rimmed
with pop rocks and then 5 to 6 oz of the mulled apple-cranberry-pomegranate
cider. Garnish with a small skewer of two maraschino cherries that have
been spiked with one whole clove each (the ‘eyes’).And that's the Halloween cocktail! Enjoy responsibly and have a spooktacular Halloween.
Cheers!
