Halloween Mimosa

Adults should have fun during Spooktober, so why not

indulge yourself with a Halloween Mimosa?

Sure, you could serve your mimosas in a regular glass

but it’s Halloween! This is the one time of year where

it is socially acceptable to drink out of just about any

container you want! So have some fun with it!

This recipe makes 8 drinks, so drink up or make for a party.

What you'll need:

1 750ml bottle dry sparkling wine

8 Tablespoons cherry grenadine

Create:

Fill 8 champagne flutes full with sparkling wine.

Serve with syringes filled with 1 Tablespoon grenadine, and serve with the sparkling wine.

***Note.... For the sparkling wine, always choose dry or “brut”.

Champagne, Cava or Prosecco are all excellent choices.

If you do not care for cherry grenadine, you can

always use cherry juice, pomegranate juice

or cranberry juice instead.

So when I found this DIY project I just had to share! DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots.
