Halloween cocktails are supposed to be scary, which means they either look scary or are called scary. At the same time, it is highly undesirable that after them there would be terrible consequences: therefore, do not experiment by mixing different alcoholic drinks at random, decorating the resulting creation with a cherry, but trust us. On the eve of Halloween, we have selected for you the most interesting themed alcoholic cocktails.

"Brain tumor"

Despite the frightening name and rather frightening appearance, this cocktail is very tasty. To prepare it, you will need 30 ml of martini, 10 ml of grenadine and the same amount of Baileys liquor.

Preparing a cocktail is quite difficult, so practice before the holiday to surprise everyone with impeccable performance at the celebration. It is served in glasses of approximately 60 ml.

First, pour the grenadine into the bottom of the glass. Then slowly, along the knife, so as not to mix with the grenadine, pour the martini. And now the most difficult thing: to put the "brain" in the cocktail. Baileys needs to be poured into a bottle cap, take a cocktail tube, draw Baileys into it (but do not drink, of course) and pinch the upper end of the tube with your finger so that the liquor does not spill out. Now insert the tube exactly at the junction of the martini and grenadine layers and slowly remove your finger, releasing the baileys. It turns out the "convolution of the brain."

Repeat this operation 2-3 times so that the glass looks like a container with a brain. If it didn’t work out, just drink the mixture in one gulp and try again (however, try to master the preparation of this cocktail in the minimum number of times, otherwise you risk going over the drink before the party).

The cocktail turns out to be rather weak, but if you replace the martini with a mixture of martini and vodka (or just pure vodka), the cocktail will become much stronger.

"Black devil"

\This Halloween cocktail is made with dark rum and dry vermouth in a 2:1 ratio, garnished with olives. Rum and vermouth just need to mix well in a shaker and pour into a chilled martini glass, and at the end garnish with olives. And now the themed orange cocktail is ready!

"Bloody Mojito"

Mix 1 serving of rum with 2 servings of cranberry juice, add 1 tbsp. l. sugar or sugar syrup, 2 lime slices and mint leaves, dilute with soda or tonic, and a bloody "satanic" mojito is ready. Don't forget to put scarlet crushed ice!

"Black Heart"

In a shaker, very carefully mix 1 serving of licorice vodka and 2 servings of cherry juice. Pour the resulting mixture into a chilled martini glass, and dip a canapé skewer or a regular toothpick garnished with fresh raspberries or strawberries into it. Liquorice vodka is a must here: thanks to its black color, all cocktails acquire a frightening dark color.

"Stingy Jack"

You will need pumpkin liqueur (90 ml), 30 ml Captain Morgan spiced rum (or other), sugar or sugar syrup and ground cinnamon.

All this must be mixed in a shaker and served in a martini glass.

Garnish the rim of the glass with cinnamon sugar.

Halloween themed cocktail accessories

Buy a lot of plastic spiders in the joke store, wash them well and freeze them in molds with water. Use this ice with spiders to decorate cocktails. You can also color the ice with dark red food coloring. Such frozen bright scarlet cubes will decorate even a glass of mineral water.

And the edges of the glasses can be decorated with red jam and either syrup or sugar pre-soaked in red syrup.

If your celebration is attended by children or those who plan to drive after the party, cook for them

Scary Halloween is coming. Many people like his elegant and disturbing paraphernalia: terrifying costumes, burning pumpkin heads. Festive mood dictates the corresponding menu. But don't forget about Halloween drinks, too. We offer that fit perfectly into a theme party.

Celebrated on the last day of October, Halloween is a fun carnival designed to imitate visits to our world by the spirits of the dead and various other evil spirits. Ever since the time of the ancient Celts who lived in the British Isles, this holiday, which marked the end of the agricultural year, was accompanied by the drinking of specially prepared ritual drinks.

Today's lovers of Halloween fun, often forgetting the traditional Celtic recipes, invent more and more new drinks that allow you to relax at a friendly party and at the same time correspond to the spirit of this unusual holiday.

Thus, when preparing for Halloween, it is important to know not only what people drank on this day hundreds and even thousands of years ago, but also how to create something new.

The essence of the holiday and its traditions

Once the celebration of Halloween, among other things, was associated with the end of the harvest of apples. Therefore, it is not surprising that the only traditional Halloween drink known to us - lembswool - is prepared on the basis of baked apples and apple cider. Whole or crushed baked apples, placed in a punch bowl, are poured with warmed cider (in a non-alcoholic version - ginger ale), flavored with sugar and various spices, and in this form are served at the festive table.

Since, with the light hand of Americans, a pumpkin has become an invariable attribute and symbol of Halloween, from which frightening Jack-o'-lanterns are carved everywhere, pumpkin juice (for children) and Pumpkin Martini (for adults) were among the popular drinks for this holiday.

By the way, before Halloween traditions, along with Scottish and Irish settlers, migrated across the ocean, turnips were a traditional material for making frightening-looking lanterns, designed to drive away evil spirits and show the souls of the dead the way to purgatory. According to an Irish legend, it was from her that the cunning and drunkard, the blacksmith Jack, who managed to circle the master of the underworld himself around his finger, cut out a lamp in which he hid a particle of hellish flame, in the vain hope of finding by its light the path leading from hell to paradise.

But back to drinks made from pumpkin, which once and for all replaced the less spectacular and more expensive turnip. Tasty and healthy pumpkin juice can be served both in pure form and mixed with carrot or apple juice. As for the Halloween martini, this drink is based on pumpkin and cream liqueurs, as well as vanilla vodka, although some lovers of this drink replace vodka with spiced rum, and pumpkin liqueur with raw pumpkin puree.

Given the creepy-mystical surroundings of Halloween, the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks offered to guests should generate a cheerful fright. This result can be easily achieved by using various kinds of visual effects: giving drinks an ominous color, equipping them with various gothic decorations, or creating other impressive visual images.

So, during the celebration of Halloween, blood-red mixes and cocktails are especially popular. To do this, you should stock up on the appropriate ingredients. The first place among them is occupied by red juices: cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, tomato, etc. They are perfect for creating both "adult" and "children's" drinks. It all depends on the presence or absence of alcohol in them. Also, in order to achieve a "bloody" effect, you can use rich varieties of red wine or liqueurs of the appropriate shade.

In addition, it is worth using drinks of other colors that help create a slightly frightening or simply mysterious atmosphere. First of all, we are talking about a special English black vodka. The unusual color of the drink is achieved by adding catechu acacia extract, which grows in India and Burma. The use of this dark, greenish-bluish infernal drink in layered cocktails will no doubt impress your guests. Yes, and the use of this vodka in the preparation of "Bloody Mary" or "Screwdriver" will have an equally stunning effect.

Other dark brown and black drinks also contribute to the Halloween color scheme: a range of brandies, whiskeys, rums, balms and tinctures. Of particular note is absinthe, which not only has a sinister reputation on its own, but when mixed with water, it acquires a mysterious hazy greenish hue.

Speaking about the serving of drinks, first of all, it is worth dwelling on various jelly dirty tricks produced specifically on the eve of the holiday. Jelly spiders, worms, slugs, cockroaches will look funny on the rim of drinks glasses or even in cocktails themselves. Especially effective in this case will be strung on cocktail skewers or jelly eyes placed on the bottom of the glass.

Some folk craftsmen go even further and create a frightening jelly frozen hand on their own. The boiled mixture of gelatin and some sweet or sour-sweet juice (or juices) is poured into a glove thoroughly washed and turned inside out, which is tied and placed in the freezer. Further, the festive accessory is removed from the freezer immediately before use and, after cutting off the glove, is dipped into the punch bowl. Moreover, this is done in such a way that the fingers and part of the brush are above the level of the drink.

In addition, Halloween drink glasses can be equipped with impressive blood streaks. To do this, their edges need to be dipped in a jelly mass of red juice that is starting to solidify, and then pulled out, quickly turned over and put in the refrigerator, where they will wait for the party to start.

Also, particularly risky hosts of the Halloween feast throw plastic skeletons, bones and skulls into glasses with opaque drinks. At the same time, the "surprise" should not be too small so that it is not accidentally swallowed.

With a little imagination with the laws of physics, you can use other fun visual effects. For example, using a cocktail tube, inject a little Baileys or other cream liqueur into a container with a strong, clear alcoholic drink; as a result, the liquor curdled into balls will look like brains in alcohol. Or, before pouring vodka or gin into a glass or shot, drop a few drops of grenadine syrup to the bottom, thereby giving the drink unambiguous vampire associations.

Witch Potion

To do this, it is advisable to first smoke a capacious vessel intended for mixing a cocktail for the whole company, giving it the appearance of a canonical witch's cauldron, and then, before pouring the necessary ingredients into it (pineapple or citrus juice, rum, vodka, or both, and third), several pieces of dry ice should be placed on the bottom.

As a result, the decoction served by you will bubble like a real sinister witchcraft brew. For greater caution, you can theatrically interfere with the potion with a stick from a fake broom or throw a handful of jelly evil spirits there. The main thing is not to touch dry ice in any case, otherwise you risk earning not fake, but the most real burn.

Halloween is a great occasion to show imagination and ingenuity. Don't be afraid to experiment with the most unexpected ingredients. And finally, don't forget to come up with some suitable, creepy names for your infernal creations.

The most terrible holiday of the year is approaching (I do not take into account the classic Christmas binge). On Halloween, you want to throw a noisy party. But how to become the most original hostess without extra costs?

Thematic decoration of the house according to all the canons will cost a pretty penny. Therefore, we will manage with a minimum amount of terrible tinsel. Each guest will make costumes and makeup himself. Here you are clearly unable to influence the choice of images, otherwise you risk turning the general fun into a social event with a mandatory dress code. It remains to decorate the table in an original way.

On Halloween, few people overeat salads and squeeze in an extra portion of chicken and mashed potatoes. But the drinks disperse with a bang. Agree, any gatherings in an adult company are not complete without alcohol.

Since you still have to buy booze, let's give the usual products a gloomy halo. Guests will remember your unique cocktails for a long time, if, of course, they know the measure in use.

Halloween cocktails

Halloween cocktails must be in incredible colors! It is not a problem to give a strong alcoholic drink a dark color - many varieties of brandy, rum, tinctures, liqueurs and whiskey have a dark color, and some balms are almost black in general. Absinthe, which, when mixed with water, gives a cloudy green color, liqueurs of all shades of red, Hpnotiq blue liqueur, as well as black vodka, will come in handy.

Black vodka is the main ingredient in Halloween cocktails. They are mostly simple and do not require mastery of a shaker. If you can pour the layers of the cocktail without stirring - great! Black vodka is made on the basis of ordinary vodka with a strength of 40%, and "Black catechu" is added as a dye - an extract obtained from catechu acacia, which grows only in Burma and India. Produced by the British company The Original Black Vodka Company.

Black vodka Blavod (from the phrase Black Vodka) has an affordable price. You can buy it, for example, in many online stores in Russia for $30 per liter. Its color is not pure black, but a slightly iridescent black-blue with a greenish tinge. An interesting metamorphosis occurs with black vodka when mixed with orange juice - the result is a drink of a greenish color.

The original black vodka is really very effective and looks "clubbing", especially when used in layered cocktails. Even the classic Bloody Mary with black vodka looks completely different, Halloween-like.

Cocktail "Ghost in the cemetery"
The Graveyard Ghost cocktail is prepared just before drinking. Take a highball glass and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it. Separately mix black vodka and white cocoa cream. Slowly pour the mixture of black vodka and coffee liqueur into the ice cream glass. Prepare nutmeg for this cocktail.

Cocktail ""
Disgusting in appearance and delicious in taste, the result is a cocktail that looks like brains in a glass. It is also easy to prepare: you need to carefully add Baileys liquor to any strong alcoholic drink. This is done using a cocktail tube. We draw the liquor into a tube, pinch it with your finger so that the liquor does not flow out, and release it into a glass with vodka or gin. Liquor at the same time curls up into balls. It is quite possible that for doing this trick you will have to practice a little.

With the help of grenadine, you can turn even an ordinary shot of vodka into a vampire drink: pour grenadine (bright red syrup) into the bottom of the glass, put ice and carefully pour in the vodka. The grenadine should stay at the bottom.

Cocktail "Creepy Screwdriver"
Pour ice into a tall glass and add ½ cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice. Using a knife blade or a teaspoon, carefully add 45 ml of black vodka, being careful not to mix the layers.

To decorate the rim of glasses (bloody smudges), mix bright red opaque juice with swollen gelatin and heat the mixture until the gelatin dissolves. After it has cooled slightly, dip the edges of the glasses in the resulting "blood" and quickly turn over. Put the glasses in the refrigerator.

Cocktail "Hypnosis"
Preparing a Hypnosis cocktail is not at all difficult, but it looks amazing. Mix in a shaker 60 ml of blue liqueur, 30 ml of vodka, 5 ml of lemon juice. Strain into a martini glass. Decorate with a glow stick. Use a glow stick to decorate. The unusual look of this cocktail is simply mesmerizing! This is probably why the cocktail has such a name.
