Variations and Tips
- You are welcome to use other flavors of vodka. I love the cranberry but even a strawberry lemonade, lime, lemon, etc. Feel free to use even a plain vodka if you want.
- Use a red colored Gatorade or Powerade as the base to get the red color. But you could even reach for a fruit punch or something else if you would prefer.
- Feel free to change up the flavor of Powerade in the syringe. Even a grape would be a nice compliment of flavor or orange.
- The ice is going to allow you to sit the syringe on top and it won’t fall into the drink.
- You can garnish your glass with plastic Halloween fangs, fake witch fingers, etc. Or leave it plain.
FAQs
Does this recipe double?
You can make as much of this mixed drink as you would like. Just don’t pour it over ice until you are ready to serve it. As the ice will melt and water down the flavor of the cocktail.
What can I use instead of Gatorade?
If you are not a fan of the Gatorade you can use a flavored water or even a lemon-lime soda. The carbonation of the soda will be a nice twist of flavor. Then you can color the liquid in the syringe with food coloring if you don’t use blue powerade.
