Notes

Orange Sugar Rim: To make the coarse orange sugar, simply mix granulated sugar with a few drops of orange food coloring until evenly colored. Spread it out to dry before using.
Chilling the Glass: For an extra touch, chill your cocktail glass in the freezer before preparing the drink to keep it nice and cold.
Olive Garnish: The black olive adds a classic touch, but for an extra spooky look, you can use a black olive with a small piece of red pepper stuffed inside to mimic an eyeball.
