I have important plans to watch The Craft and eat candy tonight so I thought I ought to create a cocktail to go with the experience.
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this...
The Blood of My Enemies (mocktail version)
Ingredients:
3 oz unsweetened cranberry juice
0.5 oz lime juice
0.5-1oz grenadine (to taste)
4 oz club soda
spoonful of sugar
Optional: cayenne or black pepper
First, rim the glass. Mix together sugar + a little bit of grenadine and cranberry juice until it is a mostly thick paste. If you are feeling sassy (I am always feeling sassy) add a small pinch of cayenne or black pepper to this mixture. Arrange the paste in a circle on a plate, about the size of the mouth of your glass. Put your glass upside down in your paste, circle it around to collect as much as you can and, voila, fancy rim.
Now mix your drink. Add the wine, cranberry, and lime to your glass. Stir carefully and add your soda. Now add grenadine to taste (maybe sip through a straw to test the sweetness if you don't want to mess up your rim!)
You're done!
