Whether you’re going all out and aiming to win the costume contest at your local Halloween party, or plan on have a low key night answering the door for trick-or-treaters the holiday gives you an excuse to sip on a delicious cocktail during the week. This year, put down the Pumpkin beer and the “Halloween-themed” wine and mix up these scary good cocktails instead. Let the creative juices flow!

Black Magic Margs

The key here is black sanding sugar and food coloring. Rim two glasses with a lime slice and dip them in the sanding sugar. Then mix up the tequila, triple sec and lime juice between the glasses and add food coloring until a black color is achieved.

The Witch’s Heart

Fresh berries and a grenadine syringe turn your classic martini into a scary Halloween treat. Try one during happy hour and we’ll bet it’ll take your Halloween to the next level!

Caramel Apple Cocktail

This is the perfect drink to enjoy all fall, so why not treat your friends on Halloween? Mix apple juice, caramel vodka, and butterscotch liqueur and serve chilled.

Purple People Eater

How do you make a cocktail purple? It’s simple – just mix in some blue curacao, grenadine and cranberry juice. We recommend dipping the rim in purple sugar.

Black Widow Shooters

Black vodka and cranberry juice make these shooters spooky and delicious! Use red sugar crystals to rim the glass for an added festive touch.

Blood Sucker

Shake up triple sec, vodka and pineapple juice and pour into a glass. Drip strawberry or raspberry puree along the sides of the glass to make it look like streams of blood.

However you decide to spend your Halloween, please enjoy these cocktails responsibly!
