Mad Scientist Halloween Martini

If Halloween is one of your favorite holidays, now is the perfect time to start thinking about some of the little details that make a great party. Food, drinks and decor are some of the areas where creativity really stands out.

This Mad Scientist Halloween Martini is actually called “Frog in a Blender” and is a wild concoction of jello pieces, lemon-lime carbonated beverage, maraschino cherries and does not contain alcohol. For an adult party, add vodka or try your favorite alcohol on a test run before serving to guests to find what works best.

Ingredients:

2 3-ounce packages lime-flavored gelatin
1 3-ounce package orange-flavored gelatin
1 3-ounce package cherry-flavored gelatin
3 12-ounce cans or bottles lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled
1 10-ounce jar red maraschino cherries, drained and stemmed
Rubber frogs (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare each package of gelatin according to package directions, except add only the boiling water called for; stir to dissolve the gelatin. Do not add any additional water.
2. Prepare lime-flavored gelatin in a 4-cup container; prepare orange- and cherry-flavored gelatins in separate 2-cup containers. Cover the containers and chill at least 2 hours or until set.
3. Cut gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes. Place about one-third of each flavor of gelatin in a blender container. Add one can or bottle of lemon-lime carbonated beverage.
4. Cover and pulse with 2 to 3 on/off turns or until the gelatin and broken up into smaller pieces. Stir in one-third of the cherries. Pour into serving glasses.
5. Repeat with the remaining gelatin and carbonated beverage. If desired, garnish with rubber frogs.
