No need for a Ouija board; this cocktail from McCormick conjures up a spine-tingling experience with a haunting mix of vodka, simple syrup, heavy cream, club soda and vanilla extract. Boo!
Ingredients
Rimming sugar:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
10 drops black food color
Marshmallow eyeballs:
1 large marshmallow
2 drops black food color
Cocktail:
1/2. cup heavy cream
2 Tbsps. simple syrup
1 oz. vodka
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup cold club soda
Steps
For the Rimming Sugar, mix sugar and vanilla on a small plate. Add food color; mix until sugar is evenly tinted. Wet rim of beverage glass with water. Dip rim of glass into black sugar to lightly coat.
For the Marshmallow Eyeballs, cut marshmallow crosswise in half. Place 1 drop food color in center of cut-side of each marshmallow half.
Fill cocktail shaker two-thirds full with ice. Add cream, simple syrup, vodka and vanilla; shake until well mixed and chilled. Strain into rimmed beverage glass. Top with club soda. Garnish with Marshmallow Eyeballs. Serve immediately.
Additional Tips
For an easy simple syrup, mix together 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a microwavable measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir to dissolve sugar. Cool before using. Makes enough syrup to prepare 6 cocktails.
