Recipe IRL:
![\"PHOTO:](\"http://a.abcnews.com/images/GMA/WitchesBrew_190920_CA2_hpEmbed_21x13_384.jpg\")
At first I thought this recipe was so easy to try as part of this process that honestly it almost felt like cheating. I mean, how can you mess up mixing a drink and coating shot glasses with sugar? Then I made the recipe just as the directions said, by mixing blue and red food coloring together to make purple -- and will you believe it when I tell you that the purple concoction photographed brown!? I swear that it looked purple in real life, and then every time I took a picture it was a muddy brown. I thought I was going crazy!
So of course I didn't want to put an ugly brown photo on my beautiful article. After literally taking five hours to cook cockroach donuts (see below) and managing to master THAT, how could a drink be the recipe that I have to do twice? So I tried again, making it even darker with more food dye, and same thing -- but this time a muddier brown.
So then I gave up and dyed it black so that I could get a halfway decent photo to grace this page of the internet.
Then I realized that I was not supposed to dye the actual drink but instead rim the glass with the food dye. So don't dye your drink, people!
The drink is a great idea and honestly a super easy way to spook up a Halloween party.
