1. Bloody Mary
This blood-curdling blend of vodka, tomato juice, and spicy sauce spruced up with a sprig of celery or an olive looks like blood, tastes like a healthy snack, and delivers a hefty punch of vodka goodness. It’s the perfect spooky drink at the beginning or end of any haunted hallows eve.

2. Pumpking
This tasty 8.6% beer has been featured on the site before, and for good reason. The sweet, malty pumpkin flavor will knock your socks off and keep you warm and cozy when you venture out to play tricks and get treats!

3. Black Magic
Mix an ounce of vodka with a half-ounce of coffee liquor and another half-ounce of lemon juice. Garnish with a lemon wedge, and you have a black-and-yellow shooter of deliciousness to chase your candy corn with.

4. Old Rasputin
This amazing stout is not only sweet, strong, delicious, and perfect for a brisk evening, it is named after the creepy guy that caused the fall of the last great Russian royal family. Drink up!

5. Vampire’s Blood
Cherry rum and coke! Add a dash of grenadine and some tasty rum to your coke and get your blood flowing!

6. Little Devil
Three parts rum, gin, and triple sec, mix with some lemon juice and add a maraschino cherry. This drink is perfect for the girlier ghouls, but it packs a heft punch!
