Delicious Potion De Muerto el romero cocktail a fruity tequila based cocktail with fresh orange juice and lime juice sweetened with rosemary sugar syrup . Spooky effect given with fresh beet root juice<img src=Hope everybody had a wonderful Halloween. While growing up we did not celebrate Halloween in my home country. Now it is one of favorite festivals of my kids. Since I am going to make this graveyard cupcakes and strawberry monster cupcakes for them, I decided to treat our self with this Potion De Muertos el romero. This is basically a tequila-based drink. Yes, it is a margarita made with fresh fruit and vegetables.  If you are a reader of my blog, you should by now know that I am crazy for fruity margarita.  This time I decide incorporate the veggie also. Yes, it has Beet root juice in it.

I was looking for the perfect spooky cocktail, finally settled with this drink. Potion De Muerto el romero with addition of beet juice gives blood dripping effect throughout the drink. How perfect is that?!

How I made Potion De Muerto el romero?

If Halloween is celebrated October 31st, and two days later Nov 2 there is Day of the Dead celebration in the south of border influenced by Mexican culture. Día de los Muertos is an occasion to honor the dead and celebrate life. I have earlier made a a bread( Pan De Muerto) that makes for Day of Dead Celebration. What better way to do that than to toast with one of these delicious cocktails?

These is really a simple recipe, you need tequilla, fresh orange juice and fresh lime juice and triple sec and rosemary infused simple syrup.  Finally adding fresh beet juice gives you spooky blood dripping effect. However, when you drink the cocktail you need to mix everything up resulting in more reddish drink. So, you make sure not to mix it until you serve.  I didn’t have black colored sugar in my hand, hence used yellow colored sugar for sugar-salt rim of glass.

First thought of buying dry ice to give spooky effect. But didn’t get a chance to buy it, so didn’t able to create the flowing effect.

It is a delicious drink, if you like tequila-based drink you are going to enjoy this one too.

    What a great idea to add beet juice to the cocktail. That’s quite original. I’m not a huge tequila fan, but this potion sounds intriguing.
