Activated Charcoal Want to achieve that spooky, mysterious color to your cocktail? Try using small amounts of activated charcoal, perfect for something dark and eerie! What makes it exceptional is its complete lack of flavor and its ability to seamlessly blend without altering the cocktail’s taste and texture, ensuring it only influences the drink's visual aspect. Ensure you purchase FDA-approved varieties and use them sparingly, as even a small quantity goes a long, long way. Other black substitutes are black food coloring, black currant juice, and ground sesame seeds.

Using your thumb and forefinger pick some of the melted marshmallows and pull it to achieve that stretchy texture. Lay it on cakes or drinks to mimic a cob web. Dry Ice What is a better way to incorporate smoke into your drinks and bar setup than using dry ice? Instead of lighting a fire and risking your precious liquors from burning, dry ice has your back. It does require some special handling to avoid frostbite, so being extra careful is necessary. Grab a pair of cloth gloves, a flathead screwdriver, a hammer, and a set of safety glasses for your eyes. Tap carefully on the block to get your desired pieces and size. The ideal size for cocktails is one by one inch. This size will last a good 5 minutes of smoking and bubbling when dropped in a glass of cocktail. Remind your guests not to consume the ice for their safety.Try some of these cocktails with dry ice:Bloody Pomegranate CosmopolitanSwamp GassesHalloween Cherry Vodka Cocktail Crafting the perfect Spooky cocktail is about creative balance, flavor selection, and a dash of eeriness.
