Ghost in the Graveyard

2 ounces black vodka
2 ounces creme de cacao or coffee-flavored liqueur
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Pinch of finely grated nutmeg, for garnish

1/2 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
1 1/2 ounces black vodka
1 black licorice twist, for serving
Place ice in a tall glass. Pour juice into glass. Pour vodka over the back of a cocktail spoon into glass so it sits on top of juice and creates a layer of black. Slice 1/4 inch off each end of licorice, and use as a straw. Serve immediately.
Berry Scary Martini

1 cup ice
1 ounce black vodka
2 ounces cherry juice
Fresh raspberries and blueberries, for garnish

If you are having a Halloween themed wedding then these are the perfect side dishes for you! These are Boo-Tatoes and are simply mashed potatoes molded in the shape of ghosts. You can achieve this same look by piping the mashed potatoes through a pastry bag. You make the ghost’s eyes with black sesame seeds. The cute little pumpkins are sweet potatoes–also piped through a pastry bag– garnished with pecan halves to make the steams and bits of cilantro become leaves. These make for a BOO-tiful presentation!
