These four Halloween cocktails will quench your monstrous thirst for spirits on the most fun night of the year–if you can be bothered to do more than pop open a bottle of beer, that is.
Fun and Easy Halloween Cocktails for Your Party
1. Haunted Old Fashioned
Have a bone-chilling good time by giving the Old Fashioned a decidedly spooky spin.
Ingredients:
- Whiskey, 2 oz
- Angostura bitters, 3 dashes
- Orange bitters, 1 dash
- Cold water, ¼ oz
- Brown sugar cube, 1 cube
- Old Fashioned glass
To Add Halloween Flavor:
- Dry ice
- Spider webs
Instructions:
You can make this drink the same way you make your Old Fashioned. Just mix the bitters, whiskey, water, and sugar cube together in an Old Fashioned glass. You can use dry ice cubes and decorate the outside of the glass with spider webs to add some Halloween spirit into the mix.
2. Eyes on You Martini
Your friends will surely be shaken when they catch sight of this ghastly concoction.
Ingredients:
- Vodka, 175ml
- Dry Vermouth, 1 dash
- Olive Jar Brine, 1 Tbsp.
- Stuffed Green Olives, 4 pieces
- Cocktail Glass
To Add Halloween Flavor:
- Canned Lychees
- Green Olives
- Black Olives
Instructions:
Take your shaker and fill half of it with ice and then pour the vodka in it. Add the vermouth and shake or stir. Pour your martini into a cocktail glass garnished with an olive. To make the drink more of a ghoulish delight, stuff a black or green olive into a lychee and use this “eyeball” as a garnish instead.
3. Bloody Mary Finger
A Bloody Mary is always a drink to die for, but this particular red Halloween cocktail recipe is a scream.
Ingredients:
- Vodka, 1 ½ oz
- Tomato Juice, 4 oz
- Worcestershire sauce, ¼ oz
- Fresh lemon juice, ¼ oz
- Hot sauce, ¼ oz
- Horseradish, 1 tsp
- Ground black pepper, 1 pinch
- Salt, 1 pinch
- Collins Glass
To Add Halloween Flavor:
- Sausages
Instructions:
Start by putting ice in the Collins glass followed by the vodka. Follow up the alcohol with tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, and horseradish. Top off the drink with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, give your drink a gruesome garnish by shaping sausages into fingers. Smear some of the hot sauce on those fake fingers for that freshly dismembered look.
4. Ghastly White Russian
Nothing like a ghostly White Russian to put the spirits in you on Halloween night.
Ingredients:
- Vodka, 2 parts
- Coffee liqueur, 1 part
- Cream or milk, 1 part
- Cubed ice
- Old Fashioned glass
- Mixer
- Mixing tools
To Add Halloween Flavor:
- Dry ice

Put the rocks in the mixer and pour the vodka and the coffee liqueur after. Use the stirrer to mix the ingredients. You can pour the liqueur and vodka mix into an Old Fashioned glass with dry ice.
