Equipment

Ingredients

3 fresh Blackberries - muddled
½ oz Fresh Lime Juice - if you like a more dry / less sweet cocktail, squeeze in more as desired
¾ oz Simple Syrup
1 oz Raspberry Liqueur - I use Chambord
2 oz Vodka - plain or berry flavored, if desired
1 oz Cranberry Raspberry Juice
1 to 2 oz Prosecco Sparkling Wine - or champagne, DRY / BRUT unsweet variety
1 tsp Purple Sanding Sugars - for cocktail rim
1 tsp Coarse Sea Salt - for cocktail rim
Gold Edible Glitter - or edible gold dust - optional for effect

Instructions

Combine purple sanding sugars and coarse sea salt, swipe your rocks glass with a wedge of lime, and dip your glass in the purple sugars mixture to coat. Set aside.
In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, toss in 3 large ripe blackberries. Muddle the berries until juicy and crushed.
With the crushed berries, splash in the fresh lime juice, simple syrup, vodka, and raspberry liqueur.
Lastly, splash in the cranberry raspberry cocktail juice. (If not available, use cranberry juice cocktail).
Add a heaping scoop of ice to the cocktail shaker and cover. Shake vigorously and thoroughly until all ingredients are chilled and combined.
Strain the Halloween cocktail over fresh ice cubes into your prepared rocks glass.
Finish these festive drinks by topping off the Halloween vodka drinks with a splash of ice cold chilled prosecco or dry brut (unsweet) champagne.
Garnish the Halloween vodka cocktails with skewered blackberries and sliced black plums (or black grapes), if desired. Any dark ripe fruit will do.
If available, sprinkle the top of the drink with gold cocktail glitter or edible gold dust for an enchanting and elegant finishing touch.

Notes

Easy Wicked Witch Vodka Halloween Cocktail Notes

If you like it less sweet, either add less simple syrup or add extra squeezes of fresh lime juice to balance sweetness
Use a luscious raspberry liqueur, not raspberry syrup.
If you don't have sparkling wine or champagne, top off with berry-flavored sparkling water such as La Croix berry.
Use any ripe dark fruit to garnish the cocktail and give it an eerie Halloween-ey look such as blackberries, black grapes, dark plums, raspberries or blueberries.
If you want to use berry-flavored vodka, be my guest! I have only tried this cocktail with plain vodka (because of the sweetness from other ingredients) so if you try it, let me know!
