6. Black Devil Martini
Ingredients:
2 oz. Dark Rum
1/2 oz. Dry Vermouth
2 Black Olives
Orange Sugar (optional)
Directions:
Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside. Now pour the dark rum and dry vermouth into a shaker over a handful of crushed ice. Put the lid on the shaker and shake the shit out of it. Shake it until the shaker becomes very cold. Dump the ice water out of the martini glass? Is it frosty? Cool. Rim the glass with orange sugar. Now strain the mixture into the martini glass and garnish with the black olives.
5. Zombie Gut Punch Cocktail
Ingredients:
10 ounces Crystal Head vodka
5 ounces triple sec
2 ounces bitters
1 cup fresh squeezed blood orange juice
2 cups black cherry soda
Grenadine, for rim
Directions:
Frist of all, if you’re not using Crystal Head vodka, Dan Aykroyd won’t be happy. In a large punch bowl filled with ice, pour vodka, triple sec, bitters, blood orange juice and black cherry soda. Chomp your teeth and stir the concoction like you’re hungry for human brains. Rim each glass with grenadine before filling with punch mixture, and serve. Drink and hope for the best.
4. Bloody Brain Shooter
Ingredients:
1 1/4 oz. strawberry vodka
1/8 oz. Rose’s lime juice
3/4 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream
Splash of grenadine
Directions:
Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker, shake and strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey’s Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey’s put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey’s in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey’s will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey’s. Repeat the straw/Bailey’s process to build a “brain” in the shot glass. Add a splash of grenadine to the concoction to add the ‘blood’ to the mix. Shoot it down your throat like a bloody-brain-bullet.
3. Zombie
Ingredients:
1/2 ounce white rum
1 1/2 ounces golden rum
1 ounce dark rum
1/2 ounce 151-proof rum
1 ounce lime juice
1 teaspoon pineapple juice
1 teaspoon papaya juice
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
Directions:
Stir together all these ingredients except the 151 and pour into a 14-ounce glass three-fourths full of cracked ice. Float the 151 as a lid (by pouring it into a spoon and gently dipping it under the surface of the drink). Then, if the spirit moves you, take a match to this mixture; it will burn. Garnish with mint (either straight or dipped in lime juice and then superfine sugar) and/or fruit. (A particularly fetching touch: On a toothpick, impale a lemon slice or pineapple cube between two maraschino cherries and lay this fruit kabob atop of the drink). A couple of these and you will be knocked on your ass like you got in a fight with Rick Grimes.
2. Brain Hemorrhage
Ingredients:
1/2 – 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps
1-2 Tbl. of Baileys
1 tsp grenadine
Directions:
Pour the Peach Schnapps into a good sized shot glass. Float the Baileys on top of the Schnapps. Dropp the grenadine through the Baileys. If it looks disgusting as fuck, you made this drink to perfection. Drink and let your brain explode.
1. 40oz. Of Horror’s Jason Takes Manhattan
Ingredients:
2 oz Old Grand-dad 114
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
2 Bacardi 151 cherries
Directions:
This is a 40oz. of Horror original, so watch out! And if anyone ever tells you a Manhattan is a chick’s drink, tell them, “Piss off!” They probably can’t handle whiskey anyway.
2 – 5 days before you plan on serving this cocktail, put cherries in a jar and fill up the jar with Bacardi 151. Seal up the jar and put it in your refrigerator. Pour the Old Grand-dad 114, sweet vermouth, and bitters into a shaker over a handful of ice. Now shake that shit. Shake it super cold! Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and plop in a couple of the aforementioned 151 cherries. Tell your friends, “Goodnight!” and drink it down.
