By Michael Burgner

Are you PSYCHED for Halloween? Have you been planning your costume out for months? Do you dread going out to the bars because of reasons? Are you going to a Halloween party but don’t want to bring generic pumpkin shaped cookies? Bring the knowledge of how to make some cool ass cocktails. Hell host your own costumed extravaganza with these 7 Spooktacular cocktails. These are sure to be a hit no matter where you go, and you can brew in big or small batches.

1. Venom

How to Make:

½ oz Kahlua

½ oz Midori

½ oz Bailey’s

Let’s start off with the most basic drink on the list. You just have to make sure you get the order right. Repeat after me Kahlua, Midori, Bailey’s. Kahlua, Midori, Bailey’s. Kahlua, Midori, Bailey’s. I think you’re ready for the next party!

2. Harley Quinn gone wild

   

How to Make:

1 ½ oz cherry vodka

1 oz tequila

1 oz rum

1 tbsp. Grenadine

3 oz pineapple juice

1 tbsp simple syrup

So to make a drink as wild as Harley, it’s going to take a fair amount of effort. This one is pretty complex, just remember to shake well and pour the mixes after the alcohol for the best taste. Let’s hope this drink is as hot as your Halloween costume.

3. Bloodshot

   

How to Make:

¼ cups raspberries

¼ cup sugar

1oz vodka

½ oz amaretto

½ oz orange juice

1 ½ oz club soda

1 plastic syringes

This is like a magic trick at a party and who doesn’t like those? I guess most people don’t but if your trick involves getting them drunk then probably they’ll love it. When you inject the raspberry mix into the drink it changes the color and gets everybody amped up for the drink.

4. Pumpkin Patch

   

How to Make:

2oz Bailey’s pumpkin spice

2oz Milk

1oz Bourbon

Add vanilla extract to taste

This is the new nightcap of fall, Bailey’s makes it’s own pumpkin spice drink and with the splash of bourbon thrown in there it feels more like a dessert than a way to get toasty on cold fall nights.

5. Apple Cider Sangria

   

How to Make:

6 apples

750ml fireball

1 bottle pinot grigio(or other white wine)

64oz apple cider

1 liter of seltzer water

Call this drink classy and adult. It’s Sangria which screams high society but it’s also fireball so let’s call it an adult frat party. This is super easy to make just throw it in a giant bowl or carafe, let sit for a couple of hours and then consume copious amounts.

6. Beetlejuice

   

How to Make:

½ oz vodka

½ oz apple schnapps

½ oz blue curaco

½ oz rasberry juice

½ oz cranberry juice

sweet n sour mix

This drink looks very much murky and almost scary. The recipe list is also daunting but when you mix them together it tastes like a capri sun berry with alcohol. If you’re a kid at heart but want to look like an adult I highly recommend giving this  try.

7. Candy Corn Shooters

   

How to Make:

1 package lemon gelatin

1 package unflavored gelatin

1 can condensed mik

2 cups vodka

½ cup rum

This drink is perfect to bring to parties, you can make this in bulk and to fit as many people as you need multiply the recipe however fits your party size.
