Some people go all out on Halloween with a big spooky party while others prefer to stay in and watch a scary movie. Either way, the holiday is a great excuse to eat a bunch of candy and shake up a fun drink! After all, nothing will get you in the spirit of Halloween quite like some boozy spirits. That’s why you’ll love this list of frightfully refreshing Halloween drinks!

Here, you’ll find apple cider drinks, seasonal pumpkin cocktails and even cozy warm cocktails, like Ree Drummond's cranberry mulled wine. The pomegranate margaritas are blood red, and the energizing espresso martini will help you stay awake for a night of trick-or-treating! Of course, if a big party is on the fright night agenda, there's plenty of batch cocktails and Halloween punches perfect for a crowd. Think: eerie elixirs such as red sangria and spiked cider.

For those who have sweets on their mind, skip the bowl of candy and blend up a chocolaty mudslide or pumpkin pie milkshake. These boozy frozen drinks are such a treat! You'll even find a few mocktail recipes for kids at the party. And if you really want to make things spooky on Halloween, you can even try dry ice cocktails to add some extra magic to the night!
