The Bloody Carrie: A Mocktail Inspired by Horror’s Iconic Anti-Villain
Halloween wouldn’t be complete without paying tribute to one of horror’s most unforgettable characters: Carrie White from Carrie (1976). This mocktail is inspired by her powerful transformation, blending bold flavors with a spicy kick, much like the drink it’s based on—the classic Bloody Mary. But this time, we’ve given it a non-alcoholic twist with one of Soirée’s sparkling drinks. Perfect for costume parties or a spooky night in, The Bloody Carrie will have you raising a glass to one of horror’s greatest anti-villains.
Why Carrie?
Carrie White, portrayed by Sissy Spacek, may have started as a shy and repressed girl, but as the movie unfolds, we see her tap into unimaginable powers that ultimately lead to a night of destruction. Like Carrie, this mocktail packs a punch—it’s intense, flavorful, and unforgettable. Just as Carrie left her mark on the horror genre, The Bloody Carrie will leave its mark on your Halloween party.
The Bloody Carrie Mocktail Recipe
Inspired by the classic Bloody Mary, The Bloody Carrie swaps out the vodka for one of Soirée’s sparkling drinks, creating a refreshing, spicy, and vibrant mocktail. It’s a perfect nod to the character’s complexity and power, all while keeping things non-alcoholic and fun.
Ingredients:
- 4 oz of Soirée Cool Breeze (a refreshing blend of cucumber, elderflower, lychee, and mint)
- 4 oz tomato juice
- ¼ oz fresh lemon juice
- 4 dashes hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco®)
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- Pinch of salt and ground black pepper
- Celery stalk for garnish
- Ice cubes
Optional Substitutions:
- For a fruitier twist, swap Soirée Cool Breeze with Soirée Teajito (featuring watermelon, basil, chamomile, and mint).
- If you want a more dramatic presentation, add a splash of cherry syrup or pomegranate juice for a “bloody” effect.
Instructions:
- Fill a pint glass or goblet with ice cubes and set aside.
- In a mixing glass, combine Soirée Cool Breeze, tomato juice, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and chilled.
- Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice.
- Garnish with a celery stalk and enjoy this spicy, bold mocktail that’s as fierce as Carrie herself!
