The SMASHED PUMPKIN 'TINI is my final Halloween Martini this year!

Updated November 2015

The recipe for my Halloween Pumpkin Cocktail has moved to a new database below:

THE
SMASHED PUMPKIN MARTINI RECIPE

If you like pumpkin pie you'll love this martini. It has a nuttier taste because of the Frangelico, which also adds to the nice creamy texture. This is a perfect dessert martini for a sit-down Halloween dinner and it's also a great addition to any bar menu for October 31st!

HALLOWEEN MARTINI #13? The Brain Drain-a-Tini!

This peach inspired martini is a perfect combination of ingredients for a Brain Drainatini! The final and most ghoulish touch is the drizzle of grenadine at the last moment to look like oozing blood! Fun and delightfully themed for a Halloween cocktail party!

Now remember, it got it's name from how it looks but also what it does to your brain if you have too many so always drink responsibly and have a good little ghoul friend as your designated driver, okay?

The Black Widow-tini is HALLOWEEN MARTINI #12

THE BLACK WIDOW MARTINI RECIPE
has moved here.

The deep purple colored martini is the perfect color for a Halloween Martini and gets it's color and it's fruity flavor from dark grape juice and pureed blackberries. The garnish is black spiders - preferably some black gummy spiders but you can drape a plastic spider on the rim if you want!

If you really want to kick up the fun drop in a very small cube of dry ice (about a 1/4" - 1/2" piece) just before serving and watch it boil and fog up! Be sure to warn your guests to let the dry ice evaporate before drinking!

The SPIDER 'N SNAKE-A-TINI - Halloween Martini # 10 is a Black Banana Martini!

The Spider N Snake-a-tini uses Blavod Black Vodka! Yes, it's really black in color which makes it perfect for Halloween martinis! This one combines with banana liquor and Blue Curacao for a truly unique taste. Give it to your guests who show up in a monkey suit!

You can find black rimming sugar in the cake decorating department during this time of year - I found a carousel of sugars which included black, orange and purple sugars as well as Halloween colored jimmies and other fun food decorations. Be sure to get some gummy spiders and worms (snakes) for the garnish!

THE NOSE PICKER MARTINI - A Coconut, Banana and Melon Martini is Halloween Martini #9

Oh, okay The NOSE PICKER MARTINI a gross out name, but it's a really good tasting martini, besides it's a Halloween Martini and it's part of the fun to name them something really yucky!

Gross name aside, this fruit flavored martini has a really nice tropical flavor to it - serve it up to all those women who show up in grass hula skirts and guys who think a flowered shirt is a Halloween costume, lol!

THE JACK O'LANTERN MARTINI - Halloween Martini #6 is an Orange Martini with a Peep Twist!

This is an orange flavored and colored martini that tastes just like an Orange Julius - only with booze. It's one of my favorite Halloween cocktails.

I've found a ton of great candies at Wally World in the Halloween department this year, including the pumpkin Peeps for this martini's garnish. This year they even had ghost Peeps which would be great for a sweet potato casserole for an October 31st celebration.

This is a wonderfully delicious cocktail that has the advantage of being naturally green so it's perfect for the holiday. It's made with Midori liquor, a popular melon flavored alcohol with fresh citrus so it's going to taste like a melon-citrus drink. Make sure you stop by your local Walmart (or other big discount store) and pick up some fun Halloween candies for your garnishes. I found really cool gummy spiders, worms, finger puppets, bones and huge eyeballs.
