Dressed in ghostly blue and crowned with a little sparkle, this Skeleton Bride Cocktail is equal parts haunted and beautiful. London dry gin, Lillet Blanc, blue curaçao and fresh lemon create a crisp, citrusy sip, while a splash of prosecco adds an effervescent finish worthy of a wedding toast.

The functional garnish is a skeletal swizzle stick. The hand wears a glittering rhinestone "wedding ring" for a spooky bride who is dressed to thrill. Simply add a self-adhesive rhinestone sticker to a skeleton arm swizzle stick to fit the theme.
