Ingredients To Make A Spiked Skeleton Juice Halloween Drink
- Fresh squeezed orange juice + orange zest – from a few big wedges of fresh orange. You can use a citrus press to easily extract fresh juice on the spot for a cocktail just like this one.
- Buy a handful or more of oranges – so that you’ll have some to zest / juice, but also more to slice and use as garnish. One orange will yield enough zest and juice for 2 to 3 cocktails. To keep things easy, juice your oranges in advance and set aside. Blood oranges make a fun Halloween garnish, too! Use a microplane zester to collect fresh orange zest!
- Good quality vodka – your favorite brand of good quality vodka so that we can spike our skeleton juice!
- Mango juice – I’m using RW Knudsen Just Mango Juice but something like Langer’s Mango Nectar works just as well.
- Simple Syrup
- Peach Schnapps – which is a clear fruity peach-flavored liqueur that adds instant fruitiness to any cocktail.
- Lemon Juice – the juice from a fresh wedge of lemon is enough to brighten and balance this orange cocktail.
