Salty Hound of Baskerville – A Halloween Drink

As you sit and wait for all those trick or treaters on Halloween night, here’s a terrifying drink to sip, right out of a Sherlock Holmes story!

Mixing this Halloween Drink – 

First you need to color the salt. In a small bowl, mix the salt with the food coloring until it’s well mixed. Spread it out on a piece of parchment paper and dry it in a 250° oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Store in a small jar.

To make the drink, wet the rim of the glass with some lemon. Place the salt in a deep plate and roll the glass rim in it. Set it aside.

Next, in a pitcher, mix the grapefruit juice, vodka and food coloring, stirring until well blended.

Add ice cubes to the glasses and pour the drink in.

Halloween

Sit back and enjoy the Halloween evening!
