how to serve Drunk Witch
Serve the Drunk Witch cocktail in a clear glass to show off its stunning blue color. You can also enhance the spooky theme with fun decorations like a plastic witch hat or a Halloween stir stick. This drink is best enjoyed fresh, so make it right before serving.
how to store Drunk Witch
If you have extra mixture left over, you can store it in the refrigerator for a few hours. However, it’s best to drink it fresh for the best flavor and fizz. Once mixed with soda, don’t store it, as the soda will go flat.
tips to make Drunk Witch
- Use chilled ingredients to keep the drink cold without needing too much ice.
- Experiment with different fruit juices if you want to change the flavor. Mango or cranberry juice might be fun substitutes.
- If you don’t have black sanding sugar, you can use regular sugar or salt, but it won’t have that spooky look.
variation
You can make a non-alcoholic version using the same fruit juices and omitting the vodka and blue curaçao. Just add extra lemon-lime soda for fizz. This transforms the drink into a fun Halloween punch for kids or those avoiding alcohol.
