We all have our Halloween vibe of choice, from spooky to scary to sexy, and all points in between. This Halloween, why not embrace that vibe in cocktail form? These libations all have a seasonal twist and a specific theme, but they’ll taste as good in April as they do in October.
Whiskey Sour Gummy
Who doesn’t love a day of the year that not only permits gorging on candy but encourages it? You can enjoy this Whiskey Sour Gummy while also indulging your sweet tooth – or in this case, perhaps it’s your sweet and sour tooth?

0.75 oz. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
0.5 oz. Simple Syrup
1 Egg White (Optional)
Sour Gummy Garnish

Black Margarita
Jack-o-lanterns, skeletons and a horror movie or two are all required fixtures of a Halloween party, but to really up your hosting cred, you need a cocktail that looks spooky and tastes delicious. That’s where this terrifyingly tasty tequila drink, the Black Margarita, comes in.
Vampire's Blood & Sand
We all have our spooky side, and what better time of year to run wild with it? So lean into those vampire vibes with a Vampire's Blood & Sand Cocktail that’s delicious any day of the year, but especially on Halloween. Its delightfully red color makes it the ultimate drink for Draculas-in-training.
Smoking Hot Whiskey Mule
Whether you’re donning a catsuit or chaps or dressed as a sultry nurse, some of us just want to look hot on All Hallow’s Eve. This decidedly adult smoking hot Whiskey Mule will complement that sexy look – and it tastes as good as it looks.
The Classic Martini
Hey, there are some years when you’re just not feeling the Halloween vibe. If you’re going to bag the hocus pocus, you might as well go the other way and get seriously sophisticated in the form of a Classic Dry Martini, served up with olives or a twist. Whether you prefer gin or vodka, it’s your call. Just make sure it’s cold, and that goes for the glass as well as the booze – stick yours in the freezer for a good half-hour or so before making the drinks.
