make a Hocus pocus halloween Rum cocktail
This spell-binding Hocus Pocus Halloween rum cocktail starts off with a little rum and then gets topped off with sparkling Prosecco wine which makes it boozy, fruity, fizzy, and delicious.
But first, you’ll want to start off by rimming your glass for that extra special Halloween touch!
rim a Cocktail glass with orange sugar
Grab a coupe glass or martini glass and lightly gently dip it in a little bit of simple syrup and then dip it into a little orange sanding sugar. Put this aside (or even in the freezer) so the rim on the glass can set while you prepare the cocktail.
This fun and colorful drink looks most stunning when served “up” in a cocktail glass or even in cool crystal coupe glasses like these! This style of glass will really show off the sugared rim and garnishes for a fun and festive presentation.
add splashes of juice and rum
In a cocktail shaker, start off with a little splash of cranberry juice and fresh squeezed orange juice. Add in a splash of simple syrup and the fresh zest of an orange. Finally, splash in your favorite brand of gold rum.
shake and strain your Sparkling Halloween Rum cocktail!
Toss in some ice and shake this really nice and good in a cocktail shaker until completely chilled through. Strain this mixture into your orange-rimmed coupe or martini glass.

Top with champagne or Prosecco and grab a cocktail skewer with an orange twist to garnish our tasty spellbinding tonic! Now you have a most bewitching elixir to toast with on Halloween night!
