“12 Days of Halloween”
Day 2
A lot of people I’ve come across have an issue with drinking green liquids. Lucky for them I have an issue with exploiting people’s weaknesses. These “Frankenstein Shooters” consist of a light zucchini soup concoction that is perfect for a chilly fall night. Bonus, it’s a green liquid that your guests won’t mind indulging in.
To assemble the cups is simple. You will need small clear or green tinted cups about the size of shot glasses ( I found great green ones by Solo), and a bag of small fuzzy black balls (does that sound as awful as I think it does?) that you would find at a craft store (I found a bag for $1 at Target). Simply glue the balls to the sides of the cups to resemble bolts.
