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.)
