I made this recipe up for my Halloween 2002 party, and it was such a hit that I decided to share it. It looks especially good in a glass bowl, and is a great conversation starter. This recipe would also make a fine St. Pat's Day drink, as it is a beautiful color of green. Simply use clover in the bottom of the bowl rather than Gummi worms
