PREPARE THE COCKTAIL

In a cocktail shaker, fill with about a ½ cup to 1 cup of ice. Next, pour in the passionfruit vodka, blueberry simple syrup and pineapple juice.

Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds making certain the ingredients are well combined. 

Finally, using a strainer, pour the halloween cocktail evenly into the two martini (or any cocktail) glasses. With a lemon wedge, squeeze about one teaspoon of lemon juice on top of the cocktail for finishing flavor.

If serving the cocktails with dry ice, carefully add two small pieces of dry ice to each glass for an extra spooky effect. Safely remove the dry ice when ready to consume or wait until dry ice evaporates to enjoy!
