Hard Candy Blood Drip The “blood rim” is made from the same kind of mixture as you’d use to make hard candy. It’s actually pretty easy, but you will need a candy thermometer (which you can find at most grocery stores). Ingredients: 1 c. Sugar 1/2 c. Karo Syrup 1/2 c. Water Red Food Coloring Directions: Combine sugar, syrup and water. Cook without stirring to hard crack stage – which is 300 degrees F. Add food coloring. Turn off heat. While the mixture is still hot, dunk the top of the cocktail glass into the mixture to create the red rim. If you need to do several glasses, keep the mixture hot so it lasts longer (instead of turning heat off, just reduce slightly).You can go anywhere from just along the very tip of the rim to part way down the glass – whichever you prefer. Flip the glass right side up to cool. The thick consistency of the mixture will cause “drips” as it hardens on the glass! Coordinating Drink: Vampires Kiss Martini 1 ounce vodka 1/2 ounce chambord (or other raspberry liqueur) Cranberry juice, to taste Splash of lime juice 1. Pour all cocktail ingredients into shaker with ice 2. Shake 3. Strain into candy rimmed glass Happy Halloween, Soulmates! ~Grymm~
