Best Halloween cocktail recipes
Magic blackberry whisky
We’ve used blackberries to bewitch our gruesome guests in this berry-infused whisky cocktail. The subtle spiciness of blackberries is a perfect match for whisky.
Tomatini cocktail
This vodka and tomato cocktail is a lighter take on the sometimes-soupy bloody mary. The tomatini is a fresh, zingy pick-me-up with a delicious savoury note that will (given its blood-red hue) bring a spooky, slightly sinister note to a Halloween evening.
Gingerbread and espresso martini cocktail
One of our favourite Halloween cocktails. Rumour has it that once the brothers Grimm finished compiling the story of Hansel and Gretel, they retired to the drawing room to sip on one of these velvety smooth gingerbread cocktails. Dark and indulgent, they make the perfect drink to serve at a supernatural soirée.
Tequila mockingbird
If the presence of tequila doesn’t scare your guests enough, the ‘suspicious’ dark red colour of this prep-ahead cocktail dessert from Sixtyone in Marylebone is sure to unnerve them. Buy dried hibiscus flowers at health food shops or online here.
The woman in white
Tweak the name of this zesty white lady cocktail as a nod to the famous mystery novel of the same name, and create an eerie air around your drinks menu.
Blood orange Campari cocktail
Campari is an Italian herbal liqueur famous for its bitter taste, beautiful red colour, and the role it plays in the classic negroni. This, combined with a slice of blood orange, adds a Halloween-appropriate tinge to this refreshing apéritif.
