Halloween treats

Dinner club is this weekend & the theme is candy! So I'm trying my hand at the following two recipes:

Dark & Spooky Cocktail:http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/claire-robinsons-dark-and-spooky-recipe/index.html


Ingredients

  • Black decorating sugar, for the glass
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus 1 lime wedge
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1/4 cup ginger beer or all-natural ginger ale
  • 1 black gummy spider

Directions

Spread out the black sugar on a small plate. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass; dip the glass in the black sugar, then fill with ice.
Combine the rum and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake well. Carefully strain into the glass, minding the sugar on the rim. Top the drink with ginger beer and add the gummy spider.
