HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - Purple Ghost Martini & Crabby Dead Brain


The PURPLE GHOST MARTINI is a really delicious raspberry vodka martini with tones of orange from the Cointreau and a good dose of anti-oxidants from the pomegranate juice.  It has this really deep purple magenta color that looks great when you float a Ghost Peep on top.

I got extra peeps and dipped them in chocolate for my Halloween Buffet dessert bar - they go great with this martini too!
 
SOME LAST MINUTE HALLOWEEN PARTY IDEAS:
Don't have time to carve a pumpkin?  No problem, grab a few black magic markers in various sizes and draw on a scary pumpkin face!  Do a search online for pumpkin carving patterns.

You don't even have to put on a face!  Simply grab a few pumpkins and some of the fun seasonal squashes in various colors at the grocery store and do a nice grouping with some candles.

You can make ghosts to hang around with plastic grocery bags.  Cut your bags into different sized squares for different sized ghosts,  put a wadded up paper towel or toilet paper in the center of the square, gather the bag around the paper stuffed "head" and tie it off with string or a rubber band. You can paint a spooky face on it with your black markers.
 
Grab a can or two of matte black spray paint (Walmart's brand is cheap and dries very quickly!) and spray a few branches from your trees and set them around various areas with Halloween Candles or those great new battery operated votive candles.
 
Dry ice is a great way to create atmosphere on your buffet and most grocery stores carry it.  If you have a fog machine drag it out!
 
Party games are a great idea but if it's too late to pick up some of the cool Halloween party games try creating some of your own.  I did a search for Free Halloween Games and found a ton of fun ideas.

HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - Gates of Hell Martini & Brittle Bones!

The GATES OF HELL MARTINI 
is simply liquid heat. It's a Black Bloody Martini that's hotter than Hades thanks to the addition of chili peppers and pepper sauce. Just because you're shaking it up with ice doesn't mean it's not going to scorch you to Perdition! Only for the really devilish or the brave at heart!

LAST MINUTE HALLOWEEN PARTY IDEAS

 It's not too late to have a Halloween party. You can still have a fun get together with a little work, creativity and some cheating! 
You'll have to invite everyone by phone and don't be surprised if most have plans so be prepared to extend your guest list to people you might ordinarily not invite or just plan for a more intimate party.

FOR THE FOOD: Buy pre-made deli salads to make tea sandwiches, pre-made cupcakes and cookies at the bakery, pre-mixed dips and spreads and prepared deli plates of
crudités, wings and meat platters.

You can still cut out the tea sandwich bread in fun Halloween shapes, decorate up the cookies and cupcakes for a personal touch and even add a little personal touch to the prepared dips and spreads. You can also call a caterer!

QUICK DECORATIONS can be purchased at your local super mart or party store. Several white sheets and a fog machine can lend a lot of atmosphere to a ghost theme. You can also just do orange and black colors. A little confetti sprinkled about always lends a festive air.

LAST MINUTE COSTUMES can be solved with a simple large cardboard box with holes cut out for the head, arms & legs, some paint, glue and some fabric scraps. Think giant popcorn box, aquarium, Rubik's cube, cell phone or framed work of art. The work of art would be easy - just buy a cheap poster of a famous work of art, glue it to the front of the box and paint the rest of the box like a frame! If you're really lazy or hate the idea of costumes, here's some cheezy but funny ideas from Halloween.Com.

ENTERTAINMENT is easily solved by Downloading Halloween MP3s at Amazon, Grabbing some Halloween Themed games at the local toy store or having a scavenger hunt - sort of adult Trick or Treating!

HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - Black Skull Martini & Spread!


Get the

The NAKED SKULL MARTINI is a black martini! Yup, no food coloring involved because it's made with Blavod Black Vodka! How cool is that? It may look like the dead of night but it tastes like an orange thanks to the orange juice and the Blue Curacao.

I made my own Skull Martini Picks by pouring water into a Skull Sucker Mold. I shortened the lollipop stick after freezing by simply cutting off a bit with a hot knife blade! I made some in color too by adding food coloring. (Then I also used the mold for making some chocolate skull suckers.)

HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - Monster Mash Martini & Black Worms in Ooze!

The
MONSTER MASH MARTINI 
is a Smash, it is a Monster Mash-A-Tini created in honor of my favorite Halloween song - The Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers. (Never heard it? Play it below!). Here is a mean green monster martini garnished with some scary gummy candies (the gummy eyeballs are the best!)

This is a blue-green martini using Midori Melon liquor and some Blue Curacao which will bring some great holiday color to your Halloween party table or bar and delight those spooks that have invaded your home for the 31st of October. It's a thirst quencher that will sooth those savage costumed beasts you invited!

SPIDERS & SNAKE MARTINI

combines banana liquor and Blue Curacao for a truly unique taste and the fun of a black martini because of the Blavod black vodka. The best part is the gummi spider and snake (gummi worm) garnishes that crawl around inside and on the black sugared rim!

It's a festival of black and creepy crawly and the banana flavor is perfect for those guests who have the nerve to show up in a monkey costume.


TODAY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY TIP:
Don't forget to create some cool lighting effects for your Halloween Bash. I love this Black and Orange Lava Lamp and this cool Giant Skull Shaped Black Lite Bulb. This set of Black Velvet Candles with their own black plate would look really nice on a coffee table or the buffet table and these fun Black and Orange Skeleton and Pumpkin Tea Lights are cute for spot lighting smaller areas.

HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - Brain Drain Martini & a Green Goo Dip!

is not named idly - it will drain your brain if you don't drink wisely, and the drizzle of grenadine into the creamy martini really gives it a great ghoul factor. The white chocolate dipped peach slice garnish can be really grossed up if you want to spend the time - just dip it in the plain white chocolate then into some blood colored white chocolate and let that drip down the white for a bloody accent.

If that doesn't send your guests screaming for more they're zombies which means they've already had their brains drained!

HALLOWEEN MARTINIS & HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD - A Cherry Berry Martini & Bat Chips!


The Berry Scary Martini is a really fruity, sweet martini with a deep purple color that is great for adding color to your Halloween cocktail party. This is actually a martini I do all year long because I love the berry/cherry flavors. This is a sweet martini with a whipped cream topping, which you can leave off if you like. If you don't feel free to sprinkle some Halloween Jimmies/Sprinkles on top - you could also use the same jimmies as a rimmer instead of the purple sugar.

PINK LADY MARTINI - The Final PINK MARTINI


http://themartinidiva.com

The Pink Lady
has changed her address.
You can get the recipe here

The Pink Lady a classic gin cocktail with egg white. Having received a lot of bad press during the egg/salmonella scare of recent decades, egg cocktails are coming back into their own thanks to the availability of pasteurized and powdered egg products. Though the use of a fresh egg is preferable and safe, according to many food experts, having the alternatives has erased the fear of egg cocktails and they are making a comeback in bars and restaurants.

The Grenadine gives this cocktail it's lovely pink color making it the perfect Pink Martini for Pink Week!

PINK SLING-A-TINI - Singapore Sling Martini


The Pink Sling-a-Tini is a martini version of the original Singapore Sling that was created by Ngiam Tong Boon at the Long Bar of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Originally called the Straits Sling, or possibly derived from it, this was a popular drink during the 1920s and then again in the 1950s.
