5 Spooky Halloween Cocktails

Halloween cocktails

The bar selections can make or break any party, and when it comes to Halloween, going the extra mile to have a specialty cocktail on hand can really make things memorableā€¦or unmemorable depending if you have a drink or three too many.

With many Halloween parties likely taking place, here are five spooky Halloween cocktails that will surely make your guests howl at the moon.  Enjoy!

Liquid Ghost

If you enjoy dessert-style cocktails, a Liquid Ghost, featuring cream, vodka and vanilla simple syrup, is perfect for you.

El Diablo

A tequila-based cocktail, an El Diablo also contains ginger ale and cassis, a sweet liqueur made from blackcurrants. If you enjoy a stronger ginger taste, use ginger beer instead.

The Vampire Kiss

Getting its color from Midori and grenadine, The Vampire Kiss contains vodka, pineapple juice and whipped cream.

The Skull Eyeball

A very elaborate cocktail heavy on presentation, The Skull Eyeball contains citrus vodka, blue curacao, lemonade and tonic.

Black Widow Shot

What's a Halloween party without a signature shot?! The Black Widow shot is rimmed with red sanding sugar and contains cranberry juice and black vodka.
