Hocus Pocus Fizz | A Sparkling Halloween Rum Cocktail
A vibrant and bewitching elixir... This sparkling citrus Halloween rum cocktail finished with Prosecco bubbles will cast a spell on you.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Rum - your favorite brand
- 1 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup - see notes
- 1/2 oz Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice - freshly squeezed
- Orange Zest
- Prosecco - or champagne/sparkling wine
- 1 tbsp Orange Sanding Sugars - or purple sanding sugars
Instructions
- Sprinkle some of the orange (and/or) purple sanding sugars onto a flat plate.
- Dip the rim of your coupe or martini glass in a little bit of the chilled simple syrup. Dip it very lightly. Now dip the rim of the same glass into the colorful sugars. Set this aside in the fridge or in the freezer to help set.
- Now prepare your cocktail. In a cocktail shaker add ice and combine cranberry juice, orange juice, simple syrup, orange zest, and rum in a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake until thoroughly chilled through.
- Strain the mixture into your orange sugar rimmed cocktail glass, top off with chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine and garnish with an orange twist.
Notes
To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar (or equal parts) in a pot and heat until combined. Chill and store in an air-tight container. Use to sweeten teas and cocktails.
