Halloween cocktail questions

How many cocktails should I plan for a Halloween party?
Pick two or three recipes: one batch drink such as the Jack-o'-Lantern Punch, one shaken cocktail and an alcohol-free option. Serve food and plenty of water alongside, and make sure everyone has a safe way home.
How do I make a cocktail look spooky?
Colour and garnish do most of the work: blood-red juices, a dark red-wine float, smoked or dark glassware, dried orange wheels and small pumpkins on the bar. Keep every garnish edible, and never put dry ice in a drink: it can burn.
Can I prepare Halloween cocktails ahead?
Punches and stirred drinks can be mixed a few hours ahead and kept cold. Add ice, sparkling ingredients and garnishes just before serving. Shaken drinks are best made to order.
Why are these recipes marked Premium?
The full ingredients and methods of our Halloween collection are for Premium subscribers. Everyone can see the photos, the glass and the garnish.
How do I get the Halloween cocktail book?
