Finding original Halloween drinks for your Halloween bash is hard, but totally worth it. Having one or two themed cocktails at your costume party is the perfect way to make the holiday about adults, too! Serve up these spooky Halloween drinks and get the festivities going!
If you want a dramatic cocktail, this Halloween drink incorporates dry ice for a smoky, ominous effect. Combining orange and black raspberry flavors, the drink will take on a dark purple hue that is equally spooky and delicious. The dry ice burns for about five minutes, so you will have to make them as needed or else the full effect will not be there.
Halloween drinks should be fun and creative, like this one! Give your cups a sugar rim and if you’re feeling extra festive, use purple sugar. Then combine all of the ingredients for another deep purple, super Halloween drink. Incorporate a black and orange straw and you have the perfect Halloween drink that follows the color scheme. All you need to do is combine and enjoy.
Some Halloween drinks are more about the presentation than the actual flavoring, like this one. Get some skull-shaped glasses and create a rim that looks like dripping blood by combining red food dye with some sugar and corn syrup. Then, combine a few ingredients to create an ominous-looking, deep red drink (food dye again) that has a spicy, warm flavoring due to Captain Morgan and almond liquor. All you need to do is combine:
If you or anyone you know is a whiskey fan, this drink is right up your alley. All you need are mason jars and edible glitter to really get the full effect of this Halloween drink. The green shimmer in the mason jar is ghoulish, and people will simply love the taste just as much. It combines a bunch of different liquors, so expect a very strong ghoulish cocktail.
Short on time and don’t want to go through all the work of picking up tons of ingredients for your Halloween drinks? This two-ingredient blood-curdling cocktail is going to be your go-to party drink. Just pick up some cranberry Sierra Mist and vodka and you have a fizzy drink that gives off a reddish hue. It is spooky enough, but you can add some festive accompaniments to the drink to really give off a Halloween vibe.
For a more refreshing drink with notes of basil and blackberries, this is one of the more elevated Halloween drinks on the menu. Muddle the blackberries and basil leaves together, then add the liquids and juice from the limes. Garnish with blackberries, basil leaf, or a lime for a refreshing drink that has a little bite to it. Adding some edible glitter to the drink will give it a more inviting look, just as the black widow drink should.
For a bloody good time, make one of the more basic Halloween drinks on the menu. Muddle some raspberries and then add liquid ingredients for a raspberry-lime flavored martini. Garnish with raspberries on edge or top of the drink. This is another red drink that can be spiced up with little Halloween-themed drink tags, or festive cups and stickers.
Candy corn is one of the most popular, or should I say famous, icons of Halloween. If you don’t love it like me, then this may not be your Halloween drink. But, the layered look is just so cute in martini glasses and would totally be Instagram-worthy. Settle grenadine at the bottom of the glass after pouring in the drink mixture and top with whipped cream to give off the look of candy corn, only with a spiked twist.
This is the closest-looking drink to blood I’ve ever seen, so you are sure to spook your guests with this wine cocktail! With only three ingredients, this is bound to be a hit at any party and is also one of the only frozen Halloween drinks on this list. Blend together the three ingredients, and drain the seeds after blending. Although the seeds add a more gory effect, they can be a bit annoying to drink. Garnish with a cute Halloween straw, and enjoy!
Another green cocktail that is sure to be one of your go-to Halloween drinks served from here on out. Serve these little drinks in beakers or wonky-looking glasses to really give off a mad scientist, double, double toil and trouble vibes. This is a take on a Jell-O shot, but you have to break up the lime jello after it is fully prepared. Then, add the Jell-O and liquids into a pitcher, add Sprite when ready to serve. You’ll have a spooky Halloween cocktail that is different than any of the others.
Nothing says fall and Halloween like apple cider. For an adult twist on this fall fave, combine apple cider with champagne for a more refined drink at your party. It also would be a great Halloween brunch drink, and is not difficult to whip up in no time.
To rim the glass:
A truly dark take on one of our favorite Halloween drinks, this one is sure to spook any guest! This drink looks scarier than it tastes and has a hint of glitter as all fun drinks should. All you need to do is combine the ingredients and serve over ice for a yummy, cherry-flavored drink. It is so unique that every guest will be shocked you cooked this up.
Another bloody drink that takes color from black cherry juice and grenadine. Throw a pair of fake fangs in the drink to really get the theme across and garnish with a cherry after combining ingredients.
This punch is green and incorporates syringes filled with red “blood” that you shoot into the punch. If you garnish it with some purple sugar rim, then you have the perfect Halloween punch for any party. Everyone will love this on-brand drink, and you’ll be the talk of the party! Create the punch by combining:
Combine Sprite and some raspberry syrup and insert into syringes for the red blood look.
Blood oranges are the perfect fruit for your next creepy Halloween drink. Their red pulp gives off the same blood-like color that we have been aiming towards this entire list. So, make it into a margarita and garnish with a slice of blood orange and a cute Halloween drink straw. Combine the ingredients and serve over ice for a refreshing marg!
