Notes
- Rimming Trick: Use a wide, flat plate for easier sugar coating, ensuring an even and thick black sugar rim.
- Milk Swap: Replace coconut milk with almond or oat milk for a lighter, dairy-free alternative that maintains creamy texture.
- Spooky Presentation: Freeze small candy eyes or marshmallows in ice cubes beforehand for an extra haunting visual effect.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust simple syrup quantity based on preferred sweetness level, tasting mixture before final shake.
