Creepy Cocktail Kit Instructions

by Monika October 28, 2020

Thank you for ordering your Kit” What now? Scary deliciousness awaits — let’s get the ball rolling with our Creepy Cocktail Kit Instructions:

Creepy Cocktail & Spooky Soup Virtual Class

Get ready for class:

Prep:

Chop til you drop!You may have pre-purchased Mirepoix (equal amounts of chopped onion, carrots, and celery.) If you don’t you’ll need to get chopping before class! Check out our post on the Magic of Mirepoix for a comprehensive how-to.

How much mirepoix you’ll need depends on how much soup you’d like to make. About 2 cups of mirepoix will be plenty for 2 people. For a nice and large pot of soup, chop about

1½ pounds carrots
1 large onion
5 celery stalks

Other ingredients to get ready/have nearby:
olive oil and/or butter
salt & pepper
1 quart of chicken stock or water: please place on the heat to simmer before class
about ½ cup of sour cream, crème fraîche or plant-based sour cream: please spoon it into a squeezy bottle before class (there was one provided with your kit)
1 cup of sugar: please place it inside a small pot
Tequila or Mescal
cherry or other bitters
All your kit items:
lychees in syrup
Amarena cherries in syrup
dried hibiscus flowers
rosemary
limes
blueberry salt
black salt

Ready your equipment. You’ll need:

a Chef’s knife and cutting board
a large soup pot and sturdy cooking spoon
a Blender
Cocktail shaker with muddler & strainer (or a makeshift shaker, like a mason jar with a lid and mesh strainer)
Measuring cup or cocktail jigger with ounces
Ice

The Recipes

Here are the recipes for our Creepy Cocktail and Spooky Soup. The same password gets you into both, and it’s: BOO!

Kit content leakage and Bonus Recipe

Jen has told me that she’s so terribly sorry that some of the shipped kits had syrup leakage. She’s mortified. If you’re one of those customers who has experienced leakages, please don’t worry: I’ll create 2 cocktails in class so that everyone can enjoy a spooky cocktail. We’ll make Hibiscus Margaritas in class and for those that have syrup, we’ll make a bonus cocktail: a Blood-red Cherry Margarita.

More Bonus Recipes,  Tips and Tricks

BlueBerry Salt Recipe for Margarita Rim and other cocktails

At Hipcooks, we love to make flavored-salt. It’s delicious on popcorn, baked potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and (of course) on the rim of cocktail glasses when we want to be extra-fancy.

Here is our recipe for Blueberry Salt, which we included with your kits.

Other ideas for flavored salt combos include:

Lime zest + Chopped chili peppers + Salt = Zingy on pork

Lemon Zest + Thyme leaves + Salt = Heavenly on roast chicken

Dried mushrooms  +  (infused into) Salt = Great on popcorn

Cumin + Salt = Sprinkle on anything, please! 

Sriracha + Salt = Give a kick to eggs
