Ingredients
- 1 cup Corn syrup
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 10 drops Red food coloring
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 cups Mocktail or drink of choice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of corn syrup, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Let it boil for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it does not burn.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in 10 drops of red food coloring into the syrup. Mix well until a deep 'bloody' red is achieved.
Step 6
Carefully dip the rims of your glasses into the slightly cooled syrup. Rotate each glass to ensure the syrup clings to the edge and slightly drips down the sides, creating a 'blood-dripping' effect. Set the glasses upright and let the syrup set for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Pour your mocktail or beverage of choice into the prepared glasses, being careful not to disturb the 'blood' rims.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your spooky creation!
