This witches’ brew cocktail is a fruity Halloween drink made with cranberry juice, vodka, peach schnapps and fresh lime juice. It’s easy to make, with measurements for both a single cocktail and a party-sized batch.

Ingredients

For a 5.5-oz (162-ml) cocktail:

  • 3 ounces (6 tbsp) cranberry cocktail juice like Ocean Spray; NOT 100% cranberry juice
  • 1.5 ounces (3 tbsp) vodka
  • 3/4 ounce (1.5 tbsp) Peachtree peach schnapps
  • 2 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lime juice

For 8 servings:

  • 24 ounces (3 cups or 700 ml) cranberry cocktail juice
  • 12 ounces (1.5 cups or 350 ml) vodka
  • 6 ounces (3/4 cup or 175 ml) Peachtree peach schnapps
  • 3 ounces (6 tbsp) freshly-squeezed lime juice

Optional black rim:

Instructions

If making the black rim:

  • Pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl. Use a small pastry brush to coat the rim of your glass with maple syrup, or dip the rim into a dish of maple syrup. Then, immediately dip the glass into the sanding sugar, tapping off any excess. For better adhesion, place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes.

Single-serving cocktail:

  • Add the cocktail ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until well chilled – about 10 seconds.
  • Fill your glass with ice and strain in the cocktail.

Big batch:

  • Mix everything together and chill for several hours or until thoroughly chilled. Even better if you can freeze it for a few hours!
