Setting the mood with Halloween drinks
Halloween is not always all about the color orange. There are lots of other ways to set the mood for Halloween party drinks. Think dark colors like purple, red and black to set a spooky mood.
Wrap your glasses to make them look like mummies and use test tubes to set a hair-raising scene. It’s all about the special effects on Halloween.
Even the Halloween cocktail garnishes can make all the difference when you are trying to evoke a mood.
For this drink, I’m using Blue Curacao to give the drink a great color and the black sanding sugar coating for the glass says “Halloween” in style!
The drink looks sort of like a Margarita on Halloween steriods! All of your party guests will be asking you for the recipe.

This is a drink just for the grown up goblins in your house, though! To give the kids their own version of the drink, just put some sprite in a fancy glass with some blue food coloring to turn the cocktail into a mocktail!
Trying your hand at spooky Halloween drinks like this witches brew cocktail will remind you of a sorcerer casting a spell!
Making this Witches Brew Cocktail
This drink could not be easier to prepare. It’s ready in just minutes and needs no special equipment other than a cocktail shaker.
Chill a martini glass then then coat the rim of a glass with lime and rub it into some black sanding sugar (black sprinkles also work just fine if you don’t have the sugar crystals.)
Witches brew Halloween cocktail is a strong drink. It uses three different alcohol types in equal portions, as well as the juice of one lime.
Pour the vodka, triple sec and curacao into a shaker over some cracked ice. This will give the drink an icy cold temperature that goes along with the color of the drink.
Shake the cocktail shaker well and then strain into the rimmed martini glass and enjoy. Easy, peasy and it is as much fun watching the drink come together as it is to drink it.
Having a Halloween party? No ghoulish guest will go thirsty at your Halloween bash with this delightful Halloween drink.
Another way to garnish this ghoulish Halloween drink
Instead of using sanding sugar to garnish this drink, you can also make it even more gruesome by dipping the rim into corn syrup mixed with food coloring.
dding the peel of an apple as a garnish brings to mind the Witch and her deadly apple in the “Snow White” fairy tale.
