Decorating tips for spooky Halloween drinks

Faces carved into apples are a great decoration for any Halloween punch, punch or cider

Although many of our drinks are already visually stunning, you can add a few spooky tricks and literal eye catchers to create the right spooky vibe.

Eyeballs in a glass 

Ice cold pleasure: round ice cubes look like a full moon in the glass, especially in dark or black cocktails like the Black Widow. Careful, not for werewolves!

Hand of Death: Fill disposable gloves with water and freeze. Attention, should these be treated with tallow, turn inside out before!

Cold fog: dry ice! The billowing mass always looks good at Halloween parties. However, caution is advised here, as dry ice is not even that harmless. So it's best to use it only if you have experience with it.

Un)friendly faces: Cut grimaces into fruits and decorate drinks & cocktails with them. Carved apples look great in cider or apple punch, cucumber monsters give your Basil Smash or Mule that Ghostbusters flair!

Bonus Tip:

Garnish's with disgusting gummy bears
If all this is too silly for you and you actually want normal drinks, but also don't want to do without a creepy atmosphere, then mix your normal drinks as well - and then garnish them with a really disgusting gummy bear, which are available in every supermarket at this time of year.

What is the right drink for Halloween?

When you host a party, you have to think of many things. From the guest list to the menu and snacks to the music and decorations.
When it comes to a Halloween party, it's just not enough to just get spooky decorations.

What can you do to make the drink options fit the Halloween theme?

First, consider how much time you will have to prepare drinks for your guests.
Is there someone whose job it will be to prepare the drinks?
If so, you can offer cocktails that require a little more care and attention, such as a sugar rim or a Halloween drink with different layers.
Do you want something that you can prepare in advance and then ignore?
Then make a punch bowl that you can just leave and guests can help themselves.
