A lot of what makes Halloween what it is is the creation of a spooky atmosphere and anything and everything involved in a party can be converted from mundane to eerie very easily. Cocktails are no different. These haunting drinks are great ghastly additions to the Halloween theme: some are black as night while others have mysterious creatures hiding in the depths, all are a lot of fun. Also, keep an eye out for Halloween drink accessories like the black cat drink marker or hang glow in the dark fake teeth off the rim.
Bayou Slime

The swamps of the bayou can be one of the scariest places and this cocktail has that same mystery of what could possibly be underneath that top layer of slime. It's really a great drink, sort of a creamy Mojito

Black Martini

Black is the signature color for All Hallows Eve so why not make your Martini match the occasion? If black raspberry or blackberry flavors are not your thing, try a regular Vodka Martini made with Blavod (a black vodka).
Bloody Rum Punch

Think of this punch as a blood red sangria that leaves the decorations around the punch bowl open to your creepy imagination. The drink is very simple and will appeal to many palates. By allowing you costumed guests to help themselves you're free to mix and mingle with the goblins and ghouls.
Bloody-tini

Sorry, no blood in this Bloody-tini, but it does have a deep red hue that could make your Halloween guests wonder. It is actually a very pleasant and light, making it an excellent and elegant cocktail for any affair.
Candy Corn

You will find that this cocktail doesn't taste exactly like the sweet candy it is named for, but it is just as sweet and delectable. The key ingredient is a special gin infusion of kettle corn, which is combined with a sweet dessert wine and unique syrup. The real candy corn does come in for a garnish also, giving you something to nibble.
Devil's Handshake

The Devil's Handshake is one of my favorite Halloween-worthy mixed drinks. It's tallk, refreshing and has a spicy ginger side amongst all the sweet fruit.
Dracula's Kiss

Here's a highball straight from Dracula's lips to yours. The red and black layers recreate the frightening atmosphere of a castle deep in Transylvania. At the door of this fortress smooth flavors of black cherry cola greet you and are accented with sweet grenadine that surges from the depths of the concoction.
Green Ghoul

Sweet and spicy, the Green Ghoul will be a hit at your monster bash. The key to the beautiful and ghastly cocktail is the webbing of black licorice, which by the time you get to the bottom of the glass is infused with sweet melon and snappy herbs.
The Halloween Hpnotist

A drink with a haunting, eerie blue glow. What more could you want for a Halloween party? This simple, elegant Martini pairs the bright blue hue of Hpnotiq with vodka and lemon juice, but it's the garnish that makes it. To finish off this drink, simply grab some blue glow sticks, turn down the lights and sip away.
