Understanding the Ingredients in Bloody Test Tube Vodka Shots
To make these blood-filled vodka test tube shots, you’ll need just a few key ingredients and some spooky accessories.
Ingredients
- Vodka: The star of the show! Use your favorite or try black cherry or raspberry for a dark, fruity taste.
- Simple syrup or grenadine: To add a little sweetness to your shot.
- Red food coloring: Adds a cool presentation and is needed to create a bloody, bright red color.
- Red gel writer: For the rim of the tube and down the sides to create a gory, stream of blood.
- Food-safe test tubes: Glass or plastic; available online, at Target or in party stores.
Mocktail Ingredients
- Cranberry or cherry juice: For those who want a non-alcoholic version, replace the vodka with juice.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare your test tubes: wash, rinse and dry in advance.
- Decorate your test tubes: if you are feeling crazy, add some red gel to the top and down the sides for an extra gory look.
- Use a small funnel or pitcher: for easy pouring. This also helps avoid spills and keeps the presentation clean.
- Add simple syrup or grenadine to the test tube: pour in a ½ tsp to the bottom of each test tube.
- Pour in the chilled vodka: Fill each test tube to about ¾ full, leave a little room at the top and avoid spills.
- Create the “blood”: add a few drops of red food coloring to each test tube and serve immediately.
Presentation and Serving Suggestions for Extra Spookiness
Presentation is key with these shots! Here are some ideas to serve them in the spookiest way possible.
- Place the test tubes in a test tube rack for a lab-like presentation.
- Garnish with syringes filled with additional grenadine, allowing guests to “inject” extra blood into their shots.
- Scatter around some gummy eyeballs, spiders, or skeleton props for added Halloween flair.
To create a chilling effect, you could even place dry ice around the display (not in the test tubes themselves) to create an eerie fog. This will give your party setup a mad scientist vibe.
