We curated three ideas for festive drinks below with some alcohol-free versions as well!
Best 3 Recipes for Halloween Themed Cocktails
1. The Witches’ Brew
This is one of the most whimsical, bubbling Halloween cocktails that looks straight out of a cauldron. You could also easily make this drink a mocktail by leaving out the alcohol and adding more of the sprite!
What you’ll need:
- Blue curacao or any orange-flavored liquor
- Empress gin
- Optional – Herbed simple syrup or plain simple syrup if you want to make your Halloween cocktails sweeter
- Lemon juice or mix orange juice and lime juice to make it less tart
- Sparkling water, club soda, lemon soda, Sprite, or ginger ale/ginger beer, depending on your personal preferences for sweet or zesty Halloween cocktails
- Gummy worms or luster dust
- Ice
These drinks will be sure to add a little extra dose of magic to your Halloween getaway!
2. The Black Cat Martini
This is one of the best recipes for a cocktail that’s smooth, dark, and a little mysterious—just like Halloween night. You could make these drinks alcohol free by using cherry cola instead!
What you’ll need:
- Vodka
- Black raspberry liquor
- Cranberry juice or cola
- Ice
- Optional – black sugar rim, blackberry, or cherry
Shake these Halloween cocktails with ice, strain into a martini glass, and garnish with your desired extras. Simple, sleek, and hauntingly good.
3. Pumpkin Spice White Russian
For those seeking Halloween cocktail ideas filled with cozy fall flavors, this is one of the best recipes to try out. Alternatively you could start your morning with an alcohol-free version by using cold brew coffee!
