Spooky inspired cocktails

Spooky inspired cocktails

This October, don't let your costumes be the only things that get spooky on Halloween. Especially if you're planning a big Halloween party, these drink recipes will put the "Boo!" in boozy. From creepy colors to gorgeous fall flavors, there's a little something here for everyone, from spooky and a little weird to sweet and extra cute. Make a big Halloween punch to kick off your costume party, sip on a classic cocktail (with a twist) while you hand out candy to trick-or-treaters, or mix up some N/A drinks for a family-friendly movie night. Whatever you're in the mood for, these 50 Halloween drinks will hit the spot.

Looking for something you can easily serve to a big crowd? Our Halloween punch (complete with apple slice ghosts), our Harvest punch, our green apple moscato sangria, or our spiked hot chocolate are just the thing. Looking for something classic, with a fall spin? Our campfire mules, our apple cider or cranberry Aperol spritzes, or our black magic or color-changing margaritas all have an added element of surprise that'll surprise and delight everyone who drinks them.

It's always time for shots as far as we're concerned, and Halloween is maybe the best time to bust out all of our favorite Jell-O shot recipes, like our black magic Jell-O shots, our Hocus Pocus Jell-O shots, and our Sour Patch Jell-O shots. Fun fact: Tonic water naturally casts an eery glow under a blacklight! Try our cotton candy shots and glowing Jell-O shots for a real thrill.

With all these scary good cocktails, you'll need plenty of Halloween appetizers and Halloween desserts to chase them with. Need some party activity inspiration? We've got all kinds of pumpkin carving ideas too.

Spicy Apple Cider Margarita

We aren't quite ready to give up summer and the warm tequila cocktail vibes, so we created these delicious margaritas, which welcome the equinox and turning of the leaves one sip at a time. This cocktail is perfect for those warm autumn days and cool crisp nights where you don't know whether to grab a glass of red or white—you can reach for the apple cider and tequila instead. The hot honey in this cocktail is the perfect sweet with a little heat, and Calvados is adding this “je ne sais quoi” of caramel apple and kettle corn in the best way possible.

The combination of pumpkin pie filling, pumpkin spice syrup , and reposado tequila creates a beautiful autumnal blend you'll want to sip on all season. The aged tequila adds a rich brown sugar flavor that mixes perfectly with the pumpkin ingredients, while the bright acidity from the lime balances the cocktail and provides that classic margarita tang. This simple yet sophisticated twist on a classic cocktail is perfect for the season. Don't forget the pumpkin spice salt rim for an extra flavor punch.

Black Widow Cocktail

As we start to enter spooky season, our black widow Halloween cocktail checks ALL the boxes: dark, mysterious, delicious, and dare we say, sexy? This drink is a riff on the classic El Diablo, using mezcal instead of tequila, plus a dark fruit bomb of Concord grapes and blackberries instead of cassis, but keeps fresh lime and ginger beer to play their roles as the acid and spice that gives balance to this whole potion. If you’re new to mezcal, this is the perfect drink to start with, as the fruit, ginger beer, and lime make you feel like you're drinking an upgraded margarita.
