HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - Orange Ooze Martini & BBQ Bat Wings!

The ORANGE OOZE MARTINI is the first of seven new Halloween Martinis for this year! It's orange all the way - Orange vodka, orange flavored Cointreau, orange juice. A little splash of Grenadine gives the ooze factor as you drizzle it down the inside of the martini glass - it will settle on the bottom for a nice bloody touch.

I love using all the fun Halloween gummi candies in my Halloween cocktails for the garnish. They're edible, fun and really give a great spooky spirit to your spirits! I got both the Creepy Crawlers and the Body Parts for variety.

TODAY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY TIPS:
CREATE SOME CREEPY COCKTAIL CUPCAKES!
This Orange Ooze Martini is perfect for cocktail-izing cupcakes!

  • Bake up some plain yellow cupcakes. Feel free to color the cupcake batter with orange food coloring if you'd like - I do!
  • Let the cupcakes cool while you mix up about two martinis for each dozen cupcakes.
  • When the cupcakes are completely cook take a bamboo skewer and poke several holes in the top of the cupcake - don't poke too far and break the cupcake paper.
  • With a spoon, slowly drizzle some of your Orange Ooze Martini over each cupcake and let it soak in.
  • Mix up or buy some cream cheese frosting and add 1 tablespoon of orange zest for each cup of frosting. Add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix. Taste and if you'd like more orange flavor add more orange zest. Want a little more spirit in your cupcake? Add a splash of the Cointreau to the frosting!
  • Frost your cupcakes, add some fun decorations and place on a gauzy spider web. If you really want to martini-ize the cupcakes serve them up in an orange martini glass lined with the spider web!
  • DON'T FORGET THE KIDS! Make some cupcakes without the alcohol for those mini monsters if you're having a family party. Decorate the kids cupcakes differently and be sure to keep the adult cupcakes away from tiny creeping fingers! I always do a separate Children's buffet table so it's easy to keep an eye on the kids!
