1. Black Vodka
Pitch black, made at home with one easy infusion, and it turns any clear cocktail into a Halloween prop. Pour it over ice or layer it with colored liqueurs for full effect.
2. Pumpkin Spice Infused Vodka
Make one bottle and your whole Halloween bar smells like fall. It needs a few days to infuse, so start it the week before the party.
3. Apple Rum Fizz
Crisp apple, warm rum, and a little sparkle. It drinks easy at a costume party and the amber color looks right at home on a fall spread.
4. Spicy Mexican Candy Shot
Sweet, tangy, and a little fiery, like Halloween candy for grown-ups. The chamoy and Tajin rim does the costume work for you.
5. Pumpkin Martini
We love this one (since it’s our recipe, after all), but my favorite part may be the icing and crushed shortbread cookie rim! It’s so good!
6. Candy Corn Liqueur
No list of Halloween cocktail recipes is complete without a candy corn cocktail! Try this delicious vanilla-adjacent candy corn liqueur to create your own Halloween cocktail!
7. Pumpkin Spice Margarita
Ooo easy and good, the grownups will love this taste of fall. Check out our steps and tips for this yummy cocktail.
8. Dark and Stormy Death Punch
The Dark and Stormy is a classic cocktail, and it’s a definitely vibe. Dark rum, ginger beer and cherries in a big batch that might not look all that scary, but it’s insanely good.
9. Bloody Champagne Bellini
Beautifully fizzy, you can make this with authentic Champagne or sparkling wine. You’ll also need a nice cherry syrup or make a simple syrup yourself.
10. Children of the Corn Cocktail
Calls for Nixta Licor de Elote. Use our Candy Corn Liqueur to help you create this tricky cocktail. The foam is two egg whites. Don’t forget some candy corn for the garnish!
11. Liquid Vampire
Wine cocktails are underrated, but the Liquid Vampire is one of our favorite boozy Halloween drinks. Use Cabernet, raspberry schnapps and a splash of cranberry juice for a classy drink your wine-loving friends will find irresistible.
12. Black Pink Cocktail
13. Boozy Screamsicle Shakes
Who doesn’t love a creamy drink? Well, this one has crushed Oreos too. What’s not to love?Together with vanilla vodka and some whipped cream, this is more than a Halloween cocktail — it’s dessert!
14. Deathly Hallows Cocktail
And let’s not forget about tequila. So here’s a scary drink made with silver Tequila, pomegranate juice and OJ. Fruity, but quite boozy, the Deathly Hallows is quite sophisticated, and it looks gorgeous over cracked ice!
15. The Re-Animator
You’ll need a syringe for this one, but the Re-animator is one of the most amusing cocktails on the list. It’s got an intimidating shopping list so read through this one before you head to the grocery store. The idea is to let your guests squeeze in the ‘re-animator transfusion’ into their melon-flavored drink.
You’ll feel like a mad scientist!
16. Poisoned Apple Cider Cocktail
This one’s perfectly safe with edible glitter, and it is a very powerful drink! The Poisoned Apple cocktail has spiced rum, apple cider, and pomegranate juice. (Throw in some apple brandy for a pow-pow of flavor and booze.)
17. Classic Bloody Mary
No Halloween cocktail list is complete with the queen of brunch cocktails—the savory, tomato juice-based Bloody Mary is perfect for day parties.
Vodka, spices, Worcestershire sauce and tomato juice are the key ingredients, but feel free to experiment a little: sea salt, green olives, tabasco, you name it.
18. Floating Hands Halloween Punch
Have you ever seen Halloween cocktail recipes that call for plastic gloves and rubber bands? Well, this one does. A true spectacle for a festive table, it makes an outstanding centerpiece for your monster bash.
19. Pinnacle Black Widow Martini
Raspberries, pomegranates, and oranges are a tropical combination of refreshing flavors, making this martini an easy decision. This is the authentic Black Widow martini, and it has a high-end feel to it. Add a black sugar rim for full effect.
20. Swamp Water Surprise Cocktail
And what would be a Halloween cocktail list without some -hurp- swamp water? Well, here it is, but you’ll love this one! Don’t leave out the condensed milk!
21. Dead Man’s Kiss with Black Vodka
This dramatic drink uses skull ice cubes with a bright red sugar rim, and the piece d’ resistance, the blackest swill you can imagine: Blavod, a solid black vodka, or one you make from scratch (this includes a recipe to make your own, too!)
The bottom line
If you’re hoping to be so tipsy that you’re waving cinnamon sticks around as wands, our list of 21 delicious cocktails not only add to the loopy effect, they are a great way to make a fun impression at your next Halloween celebration.
Now, give the hairy eyeball to our robust list of Boo-tiful Halloween Appetizers to go with these great drinks!
Before I forget, I wanted to share news about a new vodka we got to try. New Zealand-born Broken Shed vodka is impressive. It has a subtle creamy sweetness, with hints of vanilla or almond, which stems from the lactose sugars in the whey. (Whey? Way.) The finish is clean and “grippy”; bristling with a mineral finish but still sippable. I hope you get to try it.
