Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 oz Coca-Cola Pepsi and Diet cola varieties also work.
  • 1.5 tablespoon Grenadine
  • 1.5 oz Bacardi Superior Rum
  • 2 Maraschino Cherries
  • 1 Cocktail Picks
  • 1 oz Raspberry Liqueur Chambord is the best, but DeKuyper Razzmatazz is a cheaper option.

Instructions

  • Chill all ingredients in the refrigerator prior to layering.
  • Measure and add grenadine in the bottom of the glass.
  • Measure out the raspberry liqueur with a jigger. Using the back of a spoon placed against the glass rim, slowly pour the raspberry liqueur over the spoon into the glass. Repeat with the rum and then the Cola,
  • Garnish with two maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a jigger, one fluid ounce equals to two tablespoons.
  • To add an even spookier ambiance, consider adding a small piece of dry ice to each cocktail. However, it is extremely important that you wait until the dry ice has completely dissolved before drinking. You DO NOT want to ingest dry ice. Also, use gloves or tongs to handle the dry ice as it will burn you.
