So, you want to make a drink to celebrate the new Spiderman movie? Or, just make an awesome themed drink? Well, you don’t need to look any further becuase this layered Spiderman cocktail will definitely do the trick! It’s super easy to prepare and you can make it in any type of glass or cup.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to make a super awesome Spiderman cocktail, we first need to find out how to make the layers work<\/strong><\/em>. Otherwise the whole red and blue cocktail idea will not work.<\/p>\n And with this particular drink, the red layer will be on the bottom, and the blue layer will be on top. And it’s important that we make it like this, here’s why.<\/p>\n There a 3 key factors to keep in mind when making a layered cocktail:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You bet your sweet behind there is! I did not go and buy grenadine because I know it’s not something I would use later on, so it would be a complete waste. However, I knew that pomegranate juice is something that would not be wasted, so I used it to make my own grenadine.<\/p>\n It’s very simple, add equal amounts of pomegranate juice and sugar<\/strong><\/em> to a pot. For example, 50g of sugar and 50ml of pomegranate juice. Next, heat pomegranate juice in a pot and stir until the sugar is dissolved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now keep in mind that I said heat the pomegranate juice, there is no need to boil or simmer it.<\/strong><\/em> In fact, I advise that you avoid boiling the mixture because we aren’t looking to reduce it.<\/p>\n I also added a drop or 2 of red food<\/strong> <\/em>colouring just to emphasize the red colour, but this is optional. And that is it! Make sure you let the syrup cool down before using it<\/strong><\/em>. It recommend keeping it in the fridge to speed up the cooling process.<\/p>\n You could! I mean, at the end of the day the red and blue layers are only for the theme. Or you could serve the drink with a straw, but let everyone know to be careful not to drink this cocktail right from the bottom of the drink<\/strong><\/em> where all the grenadine is, because it will just be insanely sweet. Remember, grenadine is a syrup.<\/p>\n You want to to have the straw where the blue curacao, vodka and grenadine meet<\/strong><\/em>, so you can taste a bit of everything. Rather then experiencing the layers separately.<\/p>\n Ahhh yes, the garnish, and there are 2 very simple and easy ways to go about doing this. One way is to scoop out a ball using a ball spoon<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, it’s important to know that the ball spoon will only scoop half a ball, not a full circle of watermelon. So the trick is to scoop out 2 half balls of water melon, then we bind them together. And then you just stick a tooth pick through both of them. After that, you leave the garnish in the freezer to solidify. If this is confusing you, the visuals below will make this much easier to understand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, you may not have one of these spoons, and although they are cheap to buy, you may not want to buy one because you don’t think you’ll use it again in the future. So if you don’t want to do this, you can simple cut the watermelon into small cubes<\/strong><\/em>, stick a tooth pic through them and put them in the freezer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you so much for checking out this recipe!
