Happy Hallowine! Drink Recipes for Halloween Weekend
Throwing a Halloween party this weekend? Here are 2 Wickedly fun and easy recipes to get your guests in the haunting holiday spirit!
“Wicked Spooky Sangria”
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup of whole black grapes
- 1 cup of whole green grapes
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 2 oranges
- 1 cinnamon stick
- colored sugar
- 1 12oz can of Ginger Ale
- ¼ cup of Brandy
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Wicked Pinot Noir
Putting it together:
- First you can start by de-stemming and rinsing off the grapes. Place them on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer at least 2 hours before serving. These will keep the sangria cold without watering it down, but also look like eyeballs for the spooky theme.
- Slice 1 lime, 1 lemon, and 1 orange into rounds (leave the 2nd orange for serving). Put the fruit slices into a large glass pitcher, add ¼ cup of brandy and 1 cinnamon stick; gently stir. Slowly pour the bottle of Wicked Pinot Noir into the pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, longer chill time will increase the flavor.
- Come time to serve, add the can of ginger ale into the pitcher and stir. Rub an orange slice around the rim of a glass, put some colored sugar on a plate then dip the rim. Fill glasses with reserved orange slices and frozen grapes (or “eyeballs”). Finally, pour in the sangria and enjoy!
“Devil’s Sangria”
What you’ll need:
- 2 cups of fresh cranberries
- 4 cups of cranberry juice
- 2 cups of sparkling water
- 2 cups of ice
- 1 bottle (750 ml) of Wicked Smooth Merlot
- ¼ cup of Cointreau
Putting it together:
- Pour a bottle of Wicked Smooth Merlot, 4 cups of cranberry juice, and ¼ cup of Cointreau into a pitcher. Add 2 cups of fresh cranberries and stir well.
- Put the pitcher into the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- When ready to serve, add in the 2 cups of sparkling water and ice.
Stay Wicked & Enjoy!
