What gives Frankensteinu2019s Lab Shots their spooky green color?

The signature vibrant green hue of Frankensteinu2019s Lab Shots comes primarily from green melon liqueur, often Midori, creating a bubbling, mad scientist concoction look.

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of these Halloween shots?

Yes, absolutely! For a kid-friendly or non-alcoholic version, replace the melon liqueur and citrus vodka with green apple syrup or a green sports drink, and swap the sour mix for more lemon-lime soda. The grenadine 'blood' effect works just as well!

What are the best garnishes for Frankensteinu2019s Lab Shots?

Elevate the spooky theme with fun garnishes like gummy worms draped over the rim, plastic eyeballs dropped into the shot, or a rim sugared with green or black sanding sugar for an extra eerie touch.

How do you achieve the 'blood-drip' effect with grenadine?

To get the perfect 'blood-drip' effect, slowly drizzle the grenadine down the inside edge of the shot glass after pouring the green mixture. Grenadine is denser than the other liquids, causing it to sink and create distinct, eerie layers.
