11 Spooky But Fun Cocktails You’ll Want To Drink For Halloween
It is Ghostly Season! Time to get out the skeletons, bats and other trinkets of witches and monsters! watch horror movies! Dress up nice! The children at Trick or treat with all kinds of unhealthy sweets! carving pumpkins! eat pumpkins! Pumpkin- er… drinking pumpkin drinks?
Yes, yes, we have something: the Pumpkintini! And ten more cocktails that are thematic or tasteful (or just purely visual) for Halloween. Cheers and Happy Halloween everyone!
There it is, the pumpkin cocktail! Except for the suffix ‹-ini›, it has almost nothing to do with a martini in color and taste, but rather with Halloween.
4cl white rum
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 cl maple syrup
1cl bourbon
A pinch of ground cinnamon, cloves and ginger
2 cl coconut milk
What do you think Satan incarnate drinks? Maybe this margarita with a blood– Red wine float:
3 cl lime juice
2 cl sugar syrup
1.5 cl red wine
Certainly creepy in name, this family of cocktails (yes, there are quite a few ‘corpse revives’) belongs to the so-called Pick me up – hangover drinks – from the pre-prohibition era. This is the original version, invented by the great Frank Meier, head bartender of the Hôtel Ritz in Paris on the Place Vendôme.
2cl Calvados
2 cl sweet vermouth
Almost better known than the #1 above is this lemony version. There are other versions of this cocktail, by the way: Kentucky Corpse Reviver, Corpse Reviver #Blue and the Savoy Corpse Reviver (all recipes here).
2cl London Dry Gin
2cl Lillet Blanc
2cl Grand Marnier
2 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
Where do you find such shovels? I want one like that!
1/2 tsp vanilla sugar
2cl Kahlua
1.5 cl Grand Marnier
3 cl espresso, freshly prepared
whipped cream (from the aerosol)
Oreo cookies
Well, if there’s one drink that fits the horror theme, it’s this one, which refers to Mary I, Queen of England, Mary Tudor, so named for her bloody persecution of Protestants in the 16th century.
1 cl fresh lemon juice
1-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1-2 dashes Tabasco
Some salt and pepper
tomato juice
1 small piece of celery for garnish
Hey, this drink was voted the best cocktail in the world by the trade press in 2015. Killer.
2cl Campari
1,5 cl Giffard Crème de Cacao
1,5 cl Giffard Cream de Banana
2 dashes of absinthe
Another Hemingway drink! Let’s let the authors speak:
Champagne
And then:
The name may remind us of that scary, highly venomous spider. Or a Marvel movie starring Scarlett Johansson. But one sip of this cocktail could change our associations forever. Because this Black Widow combines tequila, lime juice and agave nectar (the ingredients for a good margarita) with fresh blackberries (hence the name) and basil. And the bite is from the tequila, not poison.
2 fresh blackberries (+ 1 extra for garnish)
5cl Tequila Blanco
3 cl freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tsp agave syrup
The ultimate tiki cocktail. In the venerable bar Booze smuggler Tiki in Palm Springs it explicitly states on the menu that you can’t get more than one. noun est omen.
4.5 cl dark Jamaican rum
4.5 cl overripe rum
5 cl pineapple juice
2.5 cl fresh lime juice
1.5cl Falernum
1 dash of Angostura bitters
1 bar spoon of grenadine
1 shot Pernod
The first documented mention of white russian can be found in the Diner’s Club Drink Book 1961 … in a footnote to the recipe for the Black Russian. This slightly older cocktail is therefore a white russian, but without cream. Plus, this pitch-black drink would look pretty cool at a Halloween party.
2 cl Kahlua
