Why You Will Love This Recipe

This Stormy Hallows Eve Rum Halloween Cocktail is incredibly simple to make and packed full of flavor with a little sparkle. Perfect for Halloween!

One of my FAVORITE things to do with cocktails these days is use luster dust to make them shimmer and sparkle!

I love my sparkles-and-glitter-everything and using luster dust makes a drink extra special. The viscosity of the liquor itself gives a great shimmering, swirl effect when you stir and mix the drink. Get red luster dust here!

This cocktail recipe was inspired by the classic rum and coke cocktail.

In keeping with the Halloween theme, your guests will be surprised by the sweet and slightly spicy flavor of the Stormy Hallows Eve Rum Halloween Cocktail from the cherry and ginger. This cocktail is perfect for our horror movie parties to keep with the spooky theme.

I love to have it on hand at all times for our high-energy occasions and entertaining, plus it is always a popular option!

  • 1/2 ounce cherry liquor (or cherry syrup, or grenadine)
  • pinch red luster dust (or black) (or edible glitter)
  • 3 ounces cola soda chilled (more or less as needed)

Notes

You can easily adjust to your taste preference with more or less of the cherry liquor and ginger paste.
Ginger paste can be found in the fresh herb section of your grocery store, typically in a tube or jar. A substitute is fresh ginger or ginger syrup.
The glitter or luster dust will settle as it sits, so just gently stir to bring the shimmer effect back!

  1. Hey Kim, this is a drink I would love to be sipping right now! The combination of ingredients sound perfect and it ticks the Halloween theme perfectly. I admit that I can’t watch scary movies much these days, I have less ability to handle suspense than when I was younger. But I did used to like a good Scream type movie in my day! Cheers
