This bewitching drink, which she dubs Dracula’s Bite, is just the thing for a grown-up Halloween gathering. Made with white rum, lime juice and pineapple chunks, it’s topped with a little red wine for a spine-tingling effect. Her clever cocktail is guaranteed to show your guests a frightfully good time!
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. (60 ml) white rum
- 3/4 oz. (22 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup (3 oz./90 g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 oz. (15 ml) simple syrup
- Ice
- About 3 oz. (90 ml) red wine (Grenache or Pinot Noir)
- Dehydrated citrus for garnish (see Note below)
Directions:
In a blender, combine the rum, lime juice, pineapple chunks, simple syrup and a handful of ice and blend until smooth.
Pour into a coupe or wine glass and top with red wine for a spooky effect. Garnish with a dehydrated citrus and serve. Serves 1.
Note: You can purchase dehydrated citrus or make it yourself: To dehydrate with a dehydrator, using a sharp knife or a mandoline, cut the citrus into very thin slices and lay them flat on the dehydrator trays. Turn the dehydrator on and let the machine work for 14 to 24 hours, until the desired color is reached.
Alternatively, use your oven: Preheat an oven to the lowest setting; for most ovens, this is 170°F (77°C). Cut the citrus into 1/4-inch (6-mm) wheels. Place a wire cooling rack on a baking sheet and place the citrus wheels, evenly spaced apart, on the rack and transfer to the oven. Bake, rotating the baking sheet and flipping the citrus about every 2 hours, until the citrus has reached the desired color and has no more moisture, 3 to 8 hours. Let cool completely.
