Pina Ghoulada image

I got this recipe from the Martha Stewart website. With a twist to that favorite tropical pina colada cocktail, this becomes the perfect Halloween cocktail or mocktail for nearly any party theme. It's acceptable even for a kids party, because you can easily prepare the drink mix without the alcohol, and it's still a tasty beverage that most kids really like. All it is simply adding a twist to that all-time favorite cocktail (or mocktail)--the pina colada--by adding a "dripping blood" effect to the glasses. These will be the perfect complement to your Halloween buffet table.

Time 20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons corn syrup
red food coloring
20 ounces pineapple juice
1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup orange juice
10 ounces rum (optional)
ice cube

Steps:

  • Pour the corn syrup into a shallow bowl.
  • Dip a toothpick into the red food coloring, and stir a very small amount of the food coloring into the corn syrup; stir until it looks like blood.
  • Hold one glass by the stem, and dip the rim of the glass into the red syrup and turn the glass to coat the entire rim.
  • Turn glass upright. Allow the syrup to drip down the sides of the glass (to resemble dripping blood). Dip the remaining glass in the same manner. Set the glasses aside.
  • To make the pina colada mix, whisk together the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, cream, orange juice and rum (if using).
  • Place about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of ice cubes in a blender, and add 1 cup of the drink mixture. Blend until smooth. Add more pineapple juice (not more pina colada mix) if mixture is too thick.
  • Carefully pour the pina colada mix into the cocktail glasses, being careful not to disrupt the "bloody" red rims.
  • Repeat with remaining drink mixture and ice.
