Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of corn syrup, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
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.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in 10 drops of red food coloring into the syrup. Mix well until a deep 'bloody' red is achieved.
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.
Pour your mocktail or beverage of choice into the prepared glasses, being careful not to disturb the 'blood' rims.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spooky creation!
