Please tell me I do not need to explain a cocktail to anyone. Okay, I will, A cocktail is a blend of drinks put into a glass, usually colorful and festive to help people drown their sorrows and pretend they are someplace else, such as a tropical island. Hence the need for juice in so many of these Applebee’s Halloween copycat cocktails. Of course, cocktails are not complete without little umbrellas
or in this case plastic spiders
and marshmallow eyeballs.

You will need a blue cutting mat. Once you print the design then place on the blue cutting mat and follow the on-screen cut directions. Be sure to set the dial on your cricut to light cardstock for best results.
