My Alice Cooper Halloween Cocktail tribute - 4 cocktails named after Alive Cooper “Halloweenish” songs. Feed my Frankenstein is a boozy drink that focuses on the herbaceous and pungent French spirit, Green Chartreuse. A arugula-mint simple syrup is used to round out the strong drink with a slight leafy sweetness.
Sugar rim:
1/2 cup sugar
A few drops red food coloring
Simple syrup:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Handful arugula
2 sprigs mint
Drink:
2 ounces vodka
1.5 ounces green chartreuse
1 ounce mint arugula simple syrup
Lemon
Red Sugar
Cherries, for garnish
Make the sugar rim by mixing together the sugar and food coloring on a plate. Sit and let dry for at least 1 hour. Make the syrup by bringing the sugar, water, arugula, and mint to a boil. Blend the syrup mixture together in a blender then strain out the herbs. Refrigerate until ready to use. To a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the vodka, chartreuse, syrup, a squeeze of lemon, and shake together. Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with a lemon wedge or dip in lemon juice then dip in the sugar mixture. Pour in the drink mixture and add a skewer of cherries to garnish.
