Pina Ghoulada

A frothy drink is tempting enough, but one served in a red-rimmed glass is particularly enticing to monsters who drink blood. Corn syrup with food coloring tinges the classic pina colada with a devilish sweetness. Dip the rim of each glass into the red mixture, spinning slowly to coat. Turn glasses upright; the red liquid will drip slightly, then set. Pour drinks, and serve. Drinkers' lips may be stained pink -- much like those of a sated vampire.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE "BLOOD"

    • 3 tablespoons corn syrup
    • 1/4 teaspoons red food coloring
  • FOR 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

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    JaymieR - just leave out the rum and then up either the OJ or pineapple juice content to maintain the desired thickness. (you can follow a similar technique for any alcoholic beverage to make it non-alcoholic)

    I would love to see non-alcoholic versions of many of these drinks. Those of us who choose not to drink alcohol still enjoy fancy drinks. Thanks!
