Halloween Cocktails for Your Spooky Party

Halloween is a special time of year. From decorating your home and yard to dressing up in costume, the holiday allows us to showcase our creativity. But why stop there? If you’re looking for something exciting to spice up your October nights or serve guests at a Halloween party, you should consider specialty cocktails. At Joe Canal’s, we have a large selection of options to help you make Halloween cocktails you and your guests will enjoy. Here are some of our favorites.

1) Jack-O-Lantern

While there are several cocktails with this name, a popular option involves a mix of cognac, orange liqueur, and orange juice. You’ll then top the concoction off with ginger ale to give it a fall feel. Garnish it with an orange wheel and a lime rind sticking out the top to give it the look of a pumpkin.

2) Butter Beer

For fans of the Harry Potter book or movie series, this cocktail is a must. It combines ginger beer, cream soda, ginger liqueur, and a butterscotch ice cream topping to provide a flavor that is sure to melt in your mouth. You can even rim the glasses with sanding sugar to add sweetness.

3) Vampire Kiss Martini

This flavorful cocktail offers a deep red look that will fit in with your haunting atmosphere. It requires vodka, black raspberry liqueur, and champagne but doesn’t require shaking. This makes it an easy option to mix up for guests. If you want to go above and beyond, place wax vampire teeth on or in the glass.

4) Halloween Hypnotist

This Halloween-themed cocktail is reminiscent of a martini but uses Hpnotiq to add a fun and tasty twist. You’ll need vodka, Hpnotiq, and lemon juice to create this eerie-looking cocktail. Enhance the drink for your Halloween party by garnishing it with a glow stick.

5) Zombie

This tiki cocktail has been around for decades and provides quite a kick. While it is often a summertime classic, there’s no denying that making zombies for a Halloween party is a great idea. The Zombie is a bold concoction, and there are many different variations, but you’ll typically need three types of rum, including a 151-proof rum, falernum, lime juice, grenadine, and bitters.

6) Blood Orange Sangria

Perfect for those who need something for large get-togethers, blood orange sangria will be an instant hit, and it is easy to prepare. The Halloween cocktail contains Cabernet Sauvignon wine, orange liqueur, brandy, pomegranate juice, and sugar. Once you’ve added those ingredients to a large bowl or pitcher, add in orange wedges, strawberries, raspberries, and apple slices to give the Halloween punch cocktail a festive look and additional flavor.

7) Caramel Apple Cocktail

Few things scream fall like caramel apples. That’s why this cocktail is a great option for a Halloween party or for any time during autumn. The recipe calls for apple juice, caramel vodka, and butterscotch liqueur, all of which should be combined with ice and shaken. You can also enhance the look by dipping the rim of the glass in caramel sauce and turbinado sugar and garnishing with an apple slice.

If you’re looking for ways to add to the ambiance of your Halloween, spooky accessories can go a long way. Plastic syringes, plastic spiders and bats, fake eyeballs, and even dry ice can help create cocktails that everyone is sure to get excited about.
