Best Halloween Cocktail Recipes
If you’re the type that prefers to hunker down by the fire or if you love seeing the munchkins; these are my Best Halloween Cocktail Recipes!
I’ve been dealing with some health issues; so not sure I’m going to be an active participant in Halloween; maybe only ‘sort of.’ I’ve got bags of goodies for the kids on the street but lights are going to be dark here and I’ll be left to decide which of these delicious libations to make from my list of Best Halloween Cocktail Recipes!
I usually make a new cocktail every year but I’ve been remiss this year, without an event to really celebrate and plenty to choose from, I decided to simply compile a list that you and I both can choose from.
I hope you try one too…and remember, that while they have been styled and included in this Halloween list, every single one of these cocktails are good way beyond Halloween…enjoy and Cheers!
Many of my Best Halloween Cocktail Recipes are of the after dinner variety. For years, I’ve dressed up with a black cape and Professor McGonagall hat that I wore to a Halloween party years ago. I’ve got a bench on my covered front porch so I would sit outside waiting for the kids, with a turtleneck and a cocktail to keep me warm.
This year though my lungs have not quite recovered from pneumonia so I don’t look forward to either the up and down if I stay inside or parking myself outside if it’s cold. I could really use a magic wand…PNEUMONIA BE GONE!!
We have been blessed with some really pleasant Halloween evenings the past couple of years and the kids aren’t the only lucky recipients at my door…I’ve always got some mini to-go cups and a libation for those interested. Nothing too spiked, what with needing to care for the kiddos, but a fun punch always in a bright red!
If you need something to get you through the craze of Halloween, here are lots of great cocktails with bourbon, tequila, rum, and more. I hope you’ll enjoy one these Best Halloween Cocktails and as always…Cheers!
Bourbon Pumpkin Cocktail
I actually had to be persuaded to give this cocktail a try because it combines pumpkin and chocolate. Don’t be like Barb…it’s absolutely delicious!
Tequila, Kahlua and Cream Cocktail
Add some oomph to the standard Kahlua and Cream and use Tequila instead of Vodka. It’s not spooky, just a bit more bold.
Sparkling Blackberry Smash Cocktail
This is a great cocktail all the time, combining vodka, blackberry liqueur, and Prosecco. Spooky glass and dry ice are optional!
Ghost in the Graveyard – Black Vodka, Kahlua, and Vanilla Ice Cream
Forget Kahlua and Cream and make this a real after dinner treat; Kahlua, Vokda and Vanilla Ice Cream!
Halloween Rum and Espresso Cocktail
Don’t save this just for Halloween; it’s a great libation all winter long!
Caramel Apple Cider Cocktail
This really is like sipping your favorite Fall treat…but it’s easier than eating an apple and even better with a hint of vodka!
And a few more Halloween/Fall favorites from friends!
- Blood Red Pomegranate Margaritas from The Red Head Baker
- Black Magic Martini from SpiceRoots
- Apple and Pear Martini from Beyond Mere Sustenance
Awesome collection of cocktails Barb! Trying a new cocktail on Halloween with hubby is a safe way to celebrate… I’m looking forward to picking one from this list! Cheers!
The kids on our street are having a parade Halloween afternoon — with everyone watching well distanced. And providing their own treats. Sounds like fun! We’ll provide ourselves with our own treats too. 🙂 Including, no doubt, a tasty libation. Nice assortment here! Thanks.
That sounds like a fun solution. Here? Way too many are proceeding same old, same old. I can’t risk it and I’ll miss seeing all the little kids…but yes, I can still have a celebratory cocktail!
