29. Wicked Behavior
There’s nothing wicked about a pineapple-bourbon-aperol combo except how easily you’ll guzzle it down. It’s sinfully good.
28. Cinnamon for my Demons
Having just returned from Oaxaca with Cocktail Camera and High-Proof Preacher, I thought it was fitting to include one of his original cocktails in my Halloween series. Floating along a hellish lava river is: Cinnamon for my demons!
27. RPBC Old Fashioned
Halloween cocktails that won't rot your teeth (but might rot your brain) continues with one that might actually rot your teeth. With Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup-infused bourbon and salted caramel in the mix, this might be the most candy-forward cocktail on my list.
26. Swamps of Sadness
Growing up in the 80s, nothing was scarier than basic children's movies and TV programming. So I figured why not create a drink based on a core trauma memory from The NeverEnding Story. RIP Artex.
25. Ghost with the Most
Based on the Green Ghost of the 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book Coronation Edition, which says this cocktail was "invented by J. B. Hurrell." It's supposed to be made with green chartreuse, but I don't have any so I used @luxardoofficial Santo Herbal Liqueur.
24. BeetleJuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
Halloween cocktails that won't rot your teeth (but might rot your brain), featuring the Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! cocktail. It’s sweet and bubbly, dominated by strawberry with a hint of absinthe.
20. I bleed campari
A chai masala-infused Negroni that still runs as red as the Campari in my veins.
19. Witch Doctor
This tequila-mezcal potion packs a punch with a sizable dose of bitters. It’s remedy enough to bring anyone back from the dead.
18. Love Lies Bleeding
A transformative mix of mezcal, Aperol, and Cardamaro that’s sure to make you howl at the moon. Hopefully your date can run fast…
17. Queen of the Damned
You can hear voices calling your name—someone is trying to resurrect you—soon you'll be free from the Underworld! But the Queen of the Damned may have other plans for you...
16. Necromancer
This Corpse Reviver variation ups the absinthe ante and swaps elderflower liquor for the traditional orange liqueur, brightening the herbaceousness of the original while still getting the message across.
15. Skull & Bones
This variation on the 1960s classic, the Shrunken Skull, was revived and revamped by Tony Ramos at the Don The Beachcomber bar. Get ready to spank some mint because this skeleton loves a huge bush.
6. Sleepy Hollow
The original Sleepy Hollow cocktail dates back to the 1930s and features bright apricot and zesty mint. It tastes like fall smells—overripe stone fruit on the ground, fresh pine wafting on a crisp breeze—I wonder where that foggy tunnel of trees leads?
4. Ghost of black’s beach
Hang out with your wang out—it’s time to have a drink with the ghost of Black’s Beach.
3. Falling Leaves
Falling Leaves is an autumnal cocktail featuring the season’s most overlooked fruit: Pear!
2. Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned
A pumpkin spice old fashioned featuring homemade pumpkin spice syrup that’s so rich and spicy, you’ll never want to cue up at Starbucks again.
1. Pumpkin Daiquiri
A perfect flavor bridge between summer and fall, this pumpkin-tinged daiquiri balances the heat of today and the crispy breeze of next week.
