We love making signature drinks for our parties! Here, we’re sharing some of our favorite spooky drinks for Halloween. All of these drinks are non-alcoholic, but you can easily substitute or add your favorite booze to make into cocktails.
Blue Eyed Zombie
We love this drink for it simplicity and spookiness! Muddled blueberries with lychees are sweet and tart. Using lychees as eyeballs are one of our favorite tricks for Halloween to make drinks feel festive.
Blueberries
Lime slice
Lychees in syrup
Sparkling water
Muddle blueberries with a lime slice and two lychees. Add lychee syrup and ice (bonus points for spooky ice cubes). Then top with sparkling water and garnish with a lychee and blueberry eyeball.
Apple Cider Margarita
Apple Cider Margarita is our new favorite fall drink! The cinnamon sugar rim gives you a sweet note to start then finishes refreshingly tart with the apple cider and lime juice. We love a tart margarita, and this one does not disappoint! If you like a sweeter drink, add in simple syrup to taste. For a cocktail version, add in 1.5 oz blanco tequila.
3 oz apple cider (we recommend: Trader Joe’s)
1 lime, freshly squeezed
3 dashes of orange bitters
Sparkling water (we recommend: San Pelligrino)
Cinnamon sugar mixture for rim
Apple slice and cinnamon stick for garnish
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in your apple cider. Juice the lime into the shaker. Save the lime to rim the glass. Add 3 dashes of orange bitters.
Run the lime around the edge of the glass. Rim the glass with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Add ice cubes, preferably spooky ones!
Shake the cocktail shaker and pour into the glass. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with apple slice and cinnamon stick (optional).
Witches Brew
Witches Brew Punch is a family-friendly, festive drink with spooky eyeball ice cubes! Again, we’re using our lychee eyeball trick, but we’re making them into ice cubes to keep the punch chilled. Full of fall spice, it’s sweet, tart, and refreshing. Whip up a big cauldron of this for your Halloween party.
16 lychees
16 frozen cranberries
64 oz spiced cider (we recommend: Trader Joe’s)
64 oz cranberry pomegranate juice
36 oz (3 cans) pineapple sparkling water
36 oz (3 cans) lemon lime sparkling water (we recommend: Spindrift)
Make eyeball ice cubes. Add a cranberry to lychee and place in large ice cube tray. Place two cranberry-stuffed lychees into each. Add water and freeze overnight. Remember water expands as it freezes, so don’t overfill.
In a large punch bowl, mix cider, cranberry pomegranate juice, and sparkling waters. Add eyeball ice cubes, stir, and serve!
Black Berried Alive
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup blackberries, plus more for garnish
non-alcoholic sparkling wine
Make blackberry syrup in advance. Combine 3/4 granulated sugar with 3/4 cup of water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved. Add one cup of blackberries and heat until blackberries soften, about 5 mins. Remove from heat and gently muddle blackberries. Allow to cool and then strain.
Thicken the syrup by heating gently over low heat in the same saucepan. Gently simmer for about 15 mins until reduced by about half. Allow to cool fully and then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
To make the drink, pour 1 oz of blackberry syrup in a tall glass. Top with non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Garnish with a blackberry. Substitute non-alcoholic sparkling wine for sparkling water or regular dry sparkling wine like cava.
