💡 Tips & Tricks
- For a creamier version: Use a bit more coconut milk or add whipped cream to the top. This gives the cocktail a fluffier, richer feel.
- Spooky Garnishes: Try adding black licorice sticks for a creepy touch or small plastic spider rings for a true Halloween vibe.
- Make it a batch: If you’re throwing a party, you can make a large batch of this drink by multiplying the ingredients and serving it in a punch bowl.
- Custom flavor: If you want to get creative, you can try adding a splash of orange liqueur (like Grand Marnier) or even a few drops of blackberry syrup for an additional spooky twist.
- Non-alcoholic version: Simply replace the vodka and Baileys with coconut cream and a bit of lime soda for a fun non-alcoholic drink the whole family can enjoy.
