After tossing back a few of PartySugar's Candy Corn Cordials last weekend, I was ready to get into the spirit of the holiday with a chilling concoction of my own. A slime rickey isn't just a wordy play on the classic lime rickey of gin, lime juice, and club soda β it's also softened with the sweetness of simple syrup and eerily bobbing frozen grapes. The beverage is so easy to drink that the pitcher I made was gone in under an hour! Looking for a playful and festive Halloween refreshment? Then read more.

1Mmmm...Would this work with vodka? Not a fan of gin. But looks oh-so good.
2Susan, I'm sure it would taste just as good with vodka. Looks delicious and adorable.
3SusanTeufel I bet it would! You could even try it with an infused vodka.
