Is there a way to Tweet to a list of recipients and only those recipients?

[randomness]

I have a whole pile of random Twitter followers. I wish to make an announcement to the people I follow who follow me, all of whom are people I know in real life. I am not interested in telling the random Twitter followers who all appear to be people who think I have a cool Twitter handle.

Is there a way to do this other than sending private messages to each of the people I follow on Twitter?

Don't do that.

Anyone you aren't following will be forced to unfollow you.

Twitter just isn't good at being a private or directed social media platform. For that you need Facebook or G+. Or here.
