PINA GHOULADA
I got this recipe from the Martha Stewart website. With a twist to that favorite tropical pina colada cocktail, this becomes the perfect Halloween cocktail or mocktail for nearly any party theme. It's acceptable even for a kids party, because you can easily prepare the drink mix without the alcohol, and it's still a tasty beverage that most kids really like. All it is simply adding a twist to that all-time favorite cocktail (or mocktail)--the pina colada--by adding a "dripping blood" effect to the glasses. These will be the perfect complement to your Halloween buffet table.

Steps:
- Pour the corn syrup into a shallow bowl.
- Dip a toothpick into the red food coloring, and stir a very small amount of the food coloring into the corn syrup; stir until it looks like blood.
- Hold one glass by the stem, and dip the rim of the glass into the red syrup and turn the glass to coat the entire rim.
- Turn glass upright. Allow the syrup to drip down the sides of the glass (to resemble dripping blood). Dip the remaining glass in the same manner. Set the glasses aside.
- To make the pina colada mix, whisk together the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, cream, orange juice and rum (if using).
- Place about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of ice cubes in a blender, and add 1 cup of the drink mixture. Blend until smooth. Add more pineapple juice (not more pina colada mix) if mixture is too thick.
- Carefully pour the pina colada mix into the cocktail glasses, being careful not to disrupt the "bloody" red rims.
- Repeat with remaining drink mixture and ice.

PINA GHOULADA
A frothy drink made with pineapple juice, heavy cream, cream of coconut, orange juice, and rum is sure to be tempting. But serve it in a red-rimmed glass and it's bloody fantastic for Halloween. The "blood" is made from corn syrup mixed with red food coloring, which tinges the classic pina colada with a devilish sweetness.

HALLOWEEN PINA GHOULADA
From Martha Stewart Living - Celebrate Halloween with Martha Stewart. A frothy drink is tempting enough, but one served in a red-rimmed glass is particularly enticing to monsters who drink blood. Corn syrup with food coloring tinges the classic piña colada with a devilish sweetness. Dip the rim of each glass into the red mixture, spinning slowly to coat (below). Turn glasses upright; the red liquid will drip slightly, then set. Pour drinks, and serve. Drinkers' lips may be stained pink-much like those of a sated vampire.

Tips for Making the Best Piña Ghoulada:
- Use fresh pineapple juice for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use unsweetened canned pineapple juice, but be sure to dilute it with water to taste.
- Use light rum for a milder flavor or dark rum for a more intense flavor.
- If you don't have coconut cream, you can use full-fat coconut milk. Just be sure to shake the can well before opening, and use only the thick cream that rises to the top.
- Serve the piña ghoulada immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- Garnish the piña ghoulada with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry for a festive touch.
Conclusion:
The piña ghoulada is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a tropical drink to enjoy, give the piña ghoulada a try!
