Ectoplasm has never been this delicious! This Ghostbusters cocktail is so fun – and tasty too. Make for a unique movie watching party!
I’m really excited to see the new Ghostbusters movie! Kristen Whig and Melissa McCarthy are two of my favorite actresses – for obvious reasons . . . they are hilarious.
Plus I gotta give complete street cred to the 1984 and 1989 movies; those were a crucial part of my childhood.
In my family, we quote a lot of movies regularly, and the original Ghostbusters is part of that rotation. “Don’t cross the streams – that would be bad.” “Nice shootin’ Tex!”
As a tribute to the new movie recently released, we put together this fun Ghostbusters cocktail. It has the consistency of ectoplasm and is perfect for a movie celebration or viewing party.
These fun vodka cocktails feature the Hi-C Ecto Cooler, which is an essential part of any Ghostbusters cocktail in my opinion. Surprise your Ghostbusters loving friends with this easy-to-make (and tasty and alcoholic) drink!
