Earlier this month, in my \u201cHalloween Series\u201d of recipe entries (if two entries can be considered a \u201cseries\u201d), I showed you how to make watermelon fangs. Today\u2019s recipe is a little more adult oriented. How are watermelon grapefruit shooters related to Halloween? I was afraid you\u2019d ask that. I\u2019m not really sure, except that they look sort of Halloweenish, which is why I chose them.<\/p>\n
The shooters in the picture below look like they\u2019re served in test tubes, and I guess the whole \u201cmad scientist\u201d thing has a cool Halloween vibe to it. Maybe you can take the laboratory theme and run with it by adding some beakers filled with mysterious liquids. Just make sure they\u2019re drinkable mysterious liquids because, as often happens at a party, someone will try to down it.<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n 1\/2 cup water INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n Bring one-half cup water to a boil. Place the gelatin in a heatproof container with a spout and pour the water into the gelatin and stir to dissolve. Combine the dissolved gelatin and the watermelon puree. Divide the watermelon mixture among 12 shot glasses or small juice glasses. Cool until thick but not set. Top each glass with the grapefruit juice and tequila. Makes about 12 shooters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Earlier this month, in my \u201cHalloween Series\u201d of recipe entries (if two entries can be considered a \u201cseries\u201d), I showed you how to make watermelon fangs.
