Goblin Mimosas

Pulp-free Orange Juice • Black Vodka

Fill a glass halfway with OJ. Pour black vodka over the back of a spoon so it runs down the side of the glass, rather than plunging into the juice and mixing right away.

1/2 lime, cut into wedges

Slime Rickey Punch

2 cups seedless green grapes
2 cups sugar
1 cup fresh lime juice (from about 10 limes)
8 cups club soda
1 cup gin (optional)

Freeze grapes until firm, 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, stir together sugar and lime juice; bring to a boil. Simmer until sugar has dissolved and liquid is syrupy, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely, 30 minutes.
In a punch bowl or pitcher, stir together lime syrup, club soda, frozen grapes, and (if using) gin. Serve immediately.

Shrunken Heads Cider

2 cups lemon juice
2 tablespoons coarse salt
8 large Granny Smith apples

2 cups spiced rum (optional)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together lemon juice and salt; set aside.
Peel apples and cut each in half through the stem; remove seeds and core. Using a sharp paring knife, carve a face, as desired, on the rounded side of each apple half. Place apples in lemon mixture for one minute; transfer to paper towels to drain.
Place apples, face-side up on prepared baking sheet and transfer to oven. Let bake until apples are dry and begin to brown around the edges, about 90 minutes. Remove apples from baking sheets and press cloves into the "eye" sockets.
Combine cider, lemonade, and rum (if using) in a large punchbowl; float shrunken heads on top.

Pina Ghoulada

THE "BLOOD"
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1/4 teaspoons red food coloring

THE DRINK
20 ounces pineapple juice
1 can (15 ounces) cream of coconut
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup orange juice
10 ounces good-quality rum

Pour the corn syrup in a shallow bowl. Dip a toothpick into the food coloring, and stir a very small amount into the syrup to combine. Hold a glass by the stem, dip rim into the syrup mixture, and turn glass, coating entire rim. Turn the glass upright, allowing mixture to drip down sides. Dip the remaining glasses. Set aside.
Whisk together drink ingredients. Place 2 1/2 cups ice in a blender, and add 1 cup drink mixture. Blend until smooth; add more pineapple juice if mixture is too thick. Repeat with remaining ice and mixture. Carefully pour into prepared glasses; serve.
