Signature Halloween cocktails are the easiest way to make to your party guests feel like they’re at An Event. We looked to our Signature card collection for inspiration and—what a shock!—found plenty. Here are some recipes to try at your own spooky soiree.
Three signature Halloween cocktails
We turned the glittery gold spider pin attachment from this card into a cocktail glass charm. (You could get a similar—but decidedly less fancy—effect by spray painting plastic spider rings gold.)
Crawls-mopolitan
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka
- 1.5 oz peach nectar
- 1 oz cherry brandy
- .5 oz fresh lime juice 1 lime yields about 1 1/2 oz of juice
- gold sanding sugar
Instructions
Wet the edge of a martini glass and press into gold sanding sugar and set aside.
Add the vodka, peach nectar, and cherry brandy to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake and strain into a martini glass.
Garnish with an orange peel twist, a cherry, and a cuddly spider.
Fitted with a copper and white straw, the lace-covered ghost makes an excellent swizzle stick. Make extras by tying lace squares over large cotton balls on top of straws or skewers, and add faces with felt or markers.
Moscow Ghoul
Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 2 oz tequila
- 4 oz ginger beer
- half of a fresh lime
Instructions
Squeeze the lime into a copper mug and drop it to the bottom.
Add ice over top.
Pour in tequila and ginger beer. Garnish with a slice of lime.
Stir and enjoy! If you dare...
All we had to do to bring this card to life was find some edible eyeballs. (Thank you, internet.)
Apple of My Eye-tini
Ingredients
- ice cubes
- 2 oz vodka
- 1.5 oz sour apple liqueur
- 1.5 tsp lemon juice
- 1 piece gummy eyeball candy
Instructions
Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Add the vodka, apple liqueur, and lemon juice.
Shake and strain into a martini glass.
Add gummy eyeball, scream, and serve.
Pro tip:
Add some extra boo to your booze: a tiny chunk of dry ice will make the beverage bubble and smoke billow from the glass. Use tongs to add a small piece of food-quality dry-ice to each cocktail. (And warn guests not to drink it until the dry ice dissolves.)
