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.

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.
Halloween Harvest Punch

Serving a group of spooky party guests? This fruity rum punch can not only quench all of those witch's, vampire's and zombie's thirsts, but make you look good doing it. The neon green glow of the punch is just screaming for some haunting touches like dried ice, creepy garnishes and maybe a spider or two hanging on the side of the bowl. Have fun with dressing up this bowl of punch.
Jack O'Lantern

The Jack O'Lantern is perfect for Halloween, but it's the garnish that turns it from the ordinary into the extraordinary. Cognac and orange go together fabulously, so the flavor is great and it's visually stimulating which is great for impressing your ghoulish guests.

As a punch for one or a punch for many, this Jack-o-Lantern Punch may be subdued in its Halloween appeal, but packs a big punch of flavor. I really like the idea of serving it in a real pumpkin punch bowl - you know, the one you gutted for your signature pumpkin pie? Here's a great place to use the shell.
Mad Eye Martini

Who hasn't dreamt of an eyeball sitting on top of their drink? The Mad Eye Martini will fulfill that dream with it's gruesome-looking skewered eye looming over the pale blue martini. Looks aside, the eye and the drink taste fantastic.

Sour Witch

This witch may have a sweet side but she is very wicked. The Sour Witch has a base spirit of absinthe masked by sweet almond and sour cherry and lime, topping everything off with sparkling wine, making her a two-faced, not very "lucid" lady that is not for the faint of heart.
Spider's Kiss

The glowing green liquid of the Spider's Kiss is eerily enhanced by a web of chocolate, but it doesn't stop there. Once you get the glass webbed and frosted for a smoky look then pour in the fruity drink, a drizzle of grenadine for a bloody addition.
Swamp Water Surprise
Mysteries are hidden in the murky depths of this spooky cocktail. While it may not be the prettiest looking drink at the party it will turn some heads, just hope it's not Exorcist style.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.
