Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 shots
Ingredients
- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 cup gummy worms (for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of peach schnapps, 1 cup of vodka, 1 cup of cranberry juice, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1/2 cup of gummy worms for garnish. Make sure you have a shaker and shot glasses ready.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the peach schnapps, vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice. This combination will create a fruity and tangy base for your shots.
- Add ice to the shaker to chill the mixture. This will help ensure your shots are refreshingly cold when served.
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will mix all the ingredients thoroughly and chill them nicely.
- Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the mixture into shot glasses. You should be able to fill about 10 shot glasses with this recipe.
- To add a spooky touch, garnish each shot with a few gummy worms. You can either place them on the rim of the shot glasses or let them float in the shots for a more creepy effect.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Slippery Zombie Brains Easy Halloween Shots with friends! Make sure to drink responsibly and have a spooky Halloween!
Tips
- Chill Factor: Use plenty of ice when shaking to ensure your shots are refreshingly cold and maintain that eerie, brain-like consistency.
- Gummy Worm Garnish: For maximum creep factor, let the gummy worms partially hang over the shot glass rim or float inside the drink to create a truly gruesome effect.
- Presentation is Key: Use clear shot glasses to showcase the ghoulish green-reddish color and the wiggling gummy worms.
- Make Ahead Tip: You can pre-mix the liquid ingredients and store in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to save time during your Halloween party.
- Responsible Serving: These shots are potent, so remind your guests to drink responsibly and have a designated driver or alternative transportation planned.
- Variation Idea: For a non-alcoholic version, replace the alcohol with similar-colored fruit juices to create a kid-friendly "zombie brain" mocktail.
