Plenty of us have a special place in our hearts for fall, especially Halloween. That time of the year there’s a beautiful eeriness in the cold, crisp air. When you look out the window into the dark, fog filled night…You want your drinks to be as creepy as that scene, right? Well, thankfully there are a bunch of fun recipes to gross out your guests with! Here are 5 delicious Halloween recipes that have plenty of “wow” AND “creep” factor!

1. Candy Corn Jello Shots

White Layer:

  • 1 Packet Pina Colada Ez Jello Mix
  • 2 1/2 Cups Water
  • 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Rum

Orange Layer:

  • 1 Packet Orange Crushed Ez Jello Mix
  • 2 1/2 Cups Hot Water
  • 1 1/2 Cups Butterscotch Schnapps

Yellow Layer:

  • 1 Packet Lemon Drop Ez Jello Shot Mix

Candy corn is a Halloween staple, and now it’s for adults too. This shot takes a bit more time to prepare, but it is sure to delight your guests!

2. Salted Tootsie Roll Shot

  • 2 ounces Caramel Vodka
  • 1 ounce Chocolate-Crème Liquor
  • Splash of Orange Juice
  • Ice

Shake together all ingredients in an iced shaker ¾ full. Garnish shot glasses with sliced Tootsie Roll. If you like sweet, candy drinks, go for it. You can substitute the liquor for Milk and chocolate and caramel syrup to make the drink child friendly.

3. Witch’s Brew

  • Fruit punch 12 cups
  • Lemon lime soda 6 cups
  • Orange 2 seeded and sliced thin
  • Dry ice – food grade 5 lbs
  • Water 4 cups

You will need two containers (one smaller than the other) to create the fog like effect of the witches brew. The containers should not be glass because the coldness of the dry ice may cause them to crack. The first container will hold the dry ice and the second will hold the punch.

In the smaller container combine the fruit punch, lemon lime soda, and orange slices.

In the larger container place the dry ice and the water.

Place the punch container into the container holding the dry ice. This ensures that the dry ice will not come in contact with any part of the body. Never place pieces of dry ice in the drink.

The fog of the dry ice will rise and billow over the witches brew.

Notes: Never touch dry ice with your bare hands. Always handle with protective gloves or tongs. Never place the dry ice in the actual drink. You never want dry ice to come in contact with any part of your body as it will severely burn.

4. Bloody Brain Shooter

  • 1-1/4 ounce Strawberry Vodka (chilled)
  • 1/8 ounce Lime Juice
  • 3/4 ounce Bailey’s Irish Crème
  • Splash of Grenadine

You’ll be “layering” this shot. Shake the vodka and lime juice, pour it in a glass. To get the wrinkled brain, you’ll be using a straw to suction up and release the Bailey’s into the vodka. The lime juice causes the crème to curdle, giving it the “wrinkles” of the brain. A splash of Grenadine makes it bloody!

5. Vampire Juice

  • 2 ounces Finlandia Lime Vodka
  • 4 ounce tomato juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh horseradish
  • Splash of steak sauce
  • Splash of hot sauce
  • For eyeball ice cube garnish:
  • radish
  • green olive with pimento

This is a fun twist on a bloody Mary. It is pretty simple, and versatile too; it could be renamed into whatever ghoulish title suits you or your party theme.

 

Try any one of these amazing and delicious Halloween drinks to really get into the Season this Fall!
