Pirate Cocktail Concoctions

This Halloween Cocktail Recipe Should Be Served in a Skull Glass

— September 29, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you are looking for a festive alcoholic beverage to serve at an upcoming costume party, this Halloween cocktail recipe is a tasty choice. Form the blog Sugar and Cloth, the creepy drink is served in a skeletal vessel. To be fair, the component that makes it Halloween-appropriate is the skull shaped mug you drink it out of. This also means you can enjoy it throughout the rest of the year in a less pirate-y cup.

The shrunken head-themed Halloween cocktail recipe calls for ingredients including gold Puerto Rican rum, Demerara rum, fresh lime juice and real grenadine (also known as pomegranate syrup). You can garnish the libation with black sprinkles plus cherries and pineapple cubes that can go on a skewer.
Trend Themes
1. Skull Glassware - Designing and producing skull-shaped glassware for cocktails presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for glassware manufacturers.
2. Creative Cocktail Recipes - Developing unique and themed cocktail recipes, such as shrunken head-themed Halloween cocktails, can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for mixologists and bartenders.
3. Year-round Seasonal Drinks - Creating seasonal drinks that can be enjoyed beyond specific holidays, like Halloween, offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the beverage industry.
Industry Implications
