Focus on the steaming cocktails
When we browse from pin to pin on Pinterest looking for the cocktail that will make our guests tremble, we can only swoon at the steaming cocktails that invade the application. But how can you reproduce this spooky effect at home? Easy, just use dry ice (also called dry ice). But be careful, this product which goes directly from a solid to a gaseous state must under no circumstances be ingested or handled directly with the fingers. If you wish to use them, you must always refer to the instructions for use to be sure you are acting safely, and wear gloves to protect your skin. Also, to be sure not to make a mistake, you can place your glasses on a tray, and add dry ice on it, and not in the glasses, to offer a smoking scenography in complete safety.
To get inspired, here are 15 ideas for absolutely horrifying Halloween cocktails.
