Beetlejuice Drink Ingredients

• Tequila – we love using Espolòn tequila, as it’s one of the highest quality spirits for its price point.
• Lime Juice – provides a burst of sharp citrus flavor that’s indicative of classic margaritas.
• Triple Sec – another essential margarita ingredient that adds a distinct citrusy flavor.
• Grenadine – gives the drink its fun and spooky red layer, as well as some added sweetness and fruity flavor.
• Ice Cubes – this drink is best served ice cold!

 

Instructions

1. Add ice cubes into a glass. In a cocktail shaker, combine lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Shake well.
   

   Lime juice provides a nice zingy flavor that pairs perfectly with tequila.

2. Pour the grenadine into a glass with ice.
3. Slowly pour the tequila mixture into the glass using an ice cube to slow the pour even more. This will give the drink a layered look!
   

   Espolòn makes fantastic tequilas that are as delicious as they are affordable!

4. Add a black and white Halloween paper straw for garnish!

 

FAQs

What is the Beetlejuice drinking game?

This is a fun drinking game you can play while watching the Beetlejuice movie! Like other media-based drinking games, there are rules about taking a sip from your drink whenever something happens on screen.

One of the major rules of this game is to drink whenever someone says “Beetlejuice,” and if you hear it three times in a row that means to finish your drink.

For complete guide on how to play this game, check out this post. This would be a great way to enjoy your Beetlejuice drink (though you may want to make it less strong, as it looks like there’s potentially a good amount of drinking involved!)

How can I make this Beetlejuice drink non alcoholic?

Replace the tequila in your cocktail with a simple ingredient like club soda or seltzer water to make a virgin margarita. You can also use a citrus flavored sparkling water if you want to really highlight the citrus flavor.

Can I make this cocktail in a larger portion for crowds?

Yes! Using the same proportions, prepare your Beetlejuice drink is a large pitcher or a fun and spooky punch bowl. You may not achieve the same layering effect this way, but it will taste just as good!

This is also a fun opportunity to get some dry ice and add a smoky atmosphere to your drink that will make it extra creepy.

 

Popular Variations and Substitutions

• Use old fashioned glasses or these Halloween cocktail cups with fun shapes for a fun presentation.
• To make this drink look like a witches brew, add a small chunk of dry ice to each cocktail. This will create a fun smoky effect and is completely safe as long as it isn’t directly ingested!
• If you want to capture the iconic green Beetlejuice color, feel free to add some midori (or any melon liqueur) to the tequila mixture before pouring over the grenadine.
• You can also combine the grenadine with some raspberry liqueur to deepen the red color and add extra fruity flavor.
• For other garnish ideas, try gummy eyeballs on toothpicks, gummy worms, or a twist of lime peel.
