1. Witches’ Brew Punch (Perfect for a Crowd)
Pin this easy batch punch for your next Halloween party!
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Tito’s Handmade Vodka, chilled
- 46 oz pineapple juice, chilled
- 2 liters lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 12 oz green Hawaiian Punch or similar green juice for color
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- Garnish: gummy worms, orange slices, plastic spiders for the rim
Step-by-Step Directions:
- In a large punch bowl, combine the chilled Tito’s Handmade Vodka, pineapple juice, green punch, and fresh lime juice.
- Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Just before your guests arrive, slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda. It will fizz and create the “brew” effect.
- Add a large block of ice or several handfuls of ice cubes to keep it cold.
- Garnish by floating orange slices and gummy worms on top.
Pro-Tip: To avoid a watery punch, make a large ice block in a Bundt pan with some gummy worms frozen inside. It melts slower than individual cubes and looks fantastic.
2. The Smoking Cauldron
Save this smoking cocktail trick to wow your friends!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 3 oz grape juice
- 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Garnish: one small, food-grade pellet of dry ice
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Fill a cocktail shaker with regular ice cubes.
- Add the Tito’s Handmade Vodka, grape juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
- SAFETY FIRST: Using tongs and gloves, carefully drop one small pellet of dry ice into the glass. The drink will immediately start to smoke.
- Serve immediately, but warn your guest not to drink the dry ice pellet. Wait until it has completely dissolved.
Lesson Learned: A very small piece of dry ice (pea-sized) is all you need for a great effect in a single glass. Using too much can super-carbonate the drink and freeze it. NEVER touch dry ice with bare skin.
3. Vampire’s Kiss Martini
Pin this elegant and spooky martini recipe!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2.5 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 1/2 oz dry vermouth
- Pomegranate grenadine or a thickened raspberry syrup for the “blood” effect
- Garnish: brandied cherry or a lime twist
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Chill a martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
- Take the chilled glass and carefully drizzle the pomegranate grenadine down the inside walls, creating “drips.” Place it back in the freezer while you mix.
- Fill a mixing glass (not a shaker) with ice.
- Pour the Tito’s Handmade Vodka and dry vermouth over the ice.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon for about 20-30 seconds until well-chilled. Stirring keeps the drink crystal clear.
- Retrieve your garnished glass and carefully strain the cocktail into it.
- Garnish with a single brandied cherry.
Pro-Tip: For a thicker “blood” that drips slower, gently heat 1/2 cup of raspberry jam on the stove until it’s liquid, then strain out the seeds. Let it cool before using.
4. Pumpkin Patch Martini
Save this perfect fall and Halloween pumpkin cocktail!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 1 oz Irish cream liqueur or RumChata
- 1 tbsp real pumpkin puree
- 1/2 oz maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- For the rim: 1 tbsp sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Prepare your glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a coupe or martini glass and dip it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add the Tito’s Handmade Vodka, cream liqueur, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to the shaker.
- Shake very hard for about 20 seconds. This is key to emulsifying the pumpkin puree for a smooth texture.
- Double-strain the cocktail (using both the shaker’s strainer and a fine-mesh strainer) into your prepared glass to remove any pulp.
- Garnish with a light dusting of more pumpkin pie spice or a cinnamon stick.
Pro-Tip: Use a high-quality, 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugars and spices that will throw off the balance of the drink.
5. Candy Corn Vodka Infusion
Pin this fun DIY candy corn vodka for your Halloween drinks!
Materials Needed:
- 1 cup of candy corn
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- A large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (at least 1-liter capacity)
- A fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Place the 1 cup of candy corn at the bottom of the large glass jar.
- Pour the entire bottle of Tito’s Handmade Vodka over the candy corn.
- Seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to start dissolving the candy.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours, shaking it occasionally. For a stronger flavor, you can let it infuse for up to 3 days.
- You will notice a waxy film form on the top. This is normal.
- Once infused, strain the vodka through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the waxy residue and any undissolved candy bits.
- Store the infused vodka in the refrigerator. Use it to make a sweet Candy Corn Martini (2 oz infused vodka, 1 oz pineapple juice, shake with ice).
Lesson Learned: Don’t let it infuse for more than 3 days, as the flavor can become overwhelmingly sweet. Straining it well is the most important step for a good final product.
6. The Toxic Tonic
Save this shockingly easy and vibrant blue cocktail recipe!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 1 oz Blue Curaçao liqueur
- 4-5 oz premium tonic water, chilled
- Garnish: lime wheel or a black licorice twist
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Fill a highball glass to the top with ice cubes.
- Pour in the Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Blue Curaçao.
- Give it a quick, gentle stir with a bar spoon.
- Top the glass with the chilled tonic water.
- Garnish with a fresh lime wheel on the rim. For an extra spooky touch, use a black licorice twist as a stirrer.
Pro-Tip: Adding a splash of pineapple juice (about 1/2 oz) will turn this drink from blue to a swampy green color for a different “toxic” effect.
7. Graveyard Fog Highball
Pin this simple and spooky layered cocktail idea!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 4 oz chilled premium grapefruit soda (like Jarritos or Squirt)
- 1/2 oz black vodka (like Blavod) or regular vodka with black food coloring
- Garnish: one fresh rosemary sprig
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Pour in the Tito’s Handmade Vodka.
- Top with the chilled grapefruit soda, leaving a little room at the top.
- To create the “fog” layer, take a spoon and hold it just over the surface of the drink, back-side-up.
- Very slowly, pour the black vodka over the back of the spoon. This will help it float on top before slowly sinking and mixing in a spooky way.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Pro-Tip: If you don’t have black vodka, you can make your own by mixing 2-3 drops of black food coloring into a small amount of regular vodka before you create the float.
8. The Bat-Tito Bite
Save this delicious blood orange cocktail for fall!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 3 oz high-quality blood orange soda
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/4 oz simple syrup (optional, depending on soda sweetness)
- Garnish: dehydrated blood orange wheel or a lime wedge
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Fill a rocks glass with ice (preferably one large cube, which melts slower).
- Add the Tito’s Handmade Vodka and fresh lime juice to the glass.
- If your blood orange soda is very tart, add the simple syrup and stir.
- Top with the chilled blood orange soda.
- Garnish with a dehydrated blood orange wheel for a professional look.
Lesson Learned: The quality of the blood orange soda makes all the difference here. Look for Italian brands made with real juice for the best flavor and color.
9. Black Magic Potion
Pin this magical shimmering cocktail recipe!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1/4 tsp silver or purple edible glitter
- 3/4 oz Chambord or other raspberry/blackberry liqueur
- Garnish: 3 fresh blackberries
Step-by-Step Directions:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the Tito’s Handmade Vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, and edible glitter.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds.
- Place the fresh blackberries at the bottom of a stemless wine glass or rocks glass.
- Strain the shimmering vodka mixture from the shaker into the glass.
- To create the bottom layer, slowly pour the Chambord down the side of the glass or over the back of a spoon. It is denser and will sink to the bottom, creating a beautiful layered effect.
- Serve immediately and watch the layers slowly mix as it’s enjoyed.
Pro-Tip: For the best shimmer effect, use a pearlescent edible glitter specifically designed for drinks. A little goes a very long way!
10. Ghoulish Glow Shot
Save this glowing shot recipe for a fun party trick!
Ingredients Needed:
- 1 box (3 oz) lime green Jello mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup Tito’s Handmade Vodka, chilled
- 1/2 cup tonic water, chilled (the quinine in it glows under blacklight)
- A blacklight for the glowing effect
Step-by-Step Directions:
- In a heatproof bowl, add the lime Jello mix.
- Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and whisk until the powder is completely dissolved.
- Add the chilled Tito’s Handmade Vodka and chilled tonic water to the mixture and stir well.
- Carefully pour the mixture into 2 oz plastic shot cups arranged on a baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
- To serve, arrange the shots on a tray and place them under a blacklight to see them glow!
Pro-Tip: For the strongest glow, make sure you use tonic water, not club soda or sparkling water. It’s the quinine in tonic that is key to the effect.
11. Transylvania Transfusion
Pin this easy and spooky ‘Transfusion’ cocktail!
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- 1 oz white grape juice
- 4 oz ginger ale, chilled
- 1/4 oz raspberry syrup or grenadine for garnish
- Garnish: lime wedge
Step-by-Step Directions:
- Fill a highball glass with ice.
- Pour in the Tito’s Handmade Vodka and white grape juice.
- Top with the chilled ginger ale and give a very gentle stir.
- For the “transfusion” effect, slowly drizzle the raspberry syrup over the top of the drink. It will sink through the ice in bloody-looking tendrils.
- Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and serve immediately.
Pro-Tip: This is a spooky twist on the classic golf course cocktail, the “Transfusion.” Using white grape juice instead of regular purple grape juice makes the red drizzle stand out much more dramatically.
Key Takeaways: Your Quick Guide to Spooky Sips
- Batching is Best for Parties: For large crowds, a big-batch recipe like the Witches’ Brew Punch saves time and lets you enjoy the party.
- Simple Effects Have Big Impact: A “smoking” effect with dry ice (The Smoking Cauldron) or a “bleeding” drizzle (Vampire’s Kiss Martini) can make a simple drink unforgettable. Always prioritize safety.
- Embrace Seasonal Flavors: Don’t be afraid to use classic fall ingredients like pumpkin puree (Pumpkin Patch Martini) or blood orange to make your drinks thematic and delicious.
- Don’t Forget the Garnish: A simple trick like a cinnamon-sugar rim, a spooky gummy worm, or a creative drizzle elevates your drink from a simple vodka soda to a true Halloween cocktail.
- Preparation is Key: Chill your spirits, mixers, and glassware ahead of time. A cold cocktail is always a better cocktail.
People Also Ask About Titos Halloween Cocktails
How do I make a cocktail smoke for a spooky effect?
The smoking effect is created using a small pellet of food-grade dry ice. Always wear gloves and use tongs when handling it, as it can cause severe burns. For a single cocktail, a pea-sized piece is enough. Drop it into the finished drink and warn guests not to touch or ingest the pellet; they must wait for it to fully dissolve before drinking.
Can I make these Halloween cocktails ahead of time?
Yes, you can prep parts of many cocktails in advance. For punches, you can mix all non-carbonated ingredients (spirits, juices, syrups) hours ahead and store the batch in the fridge. For individual cocktails, you can pre-juice your citrus. However, for the best taste, you should always add carbonated mixers and shake or stir with ice just before serving.
What’s a good non-alcoholic Halloween drink based on these ideas?
Create a “Virgin Witches’ Brew” for a great mocktail. Simply follow the recipe for the Witches’ Brew Punch but omit the Tito’s Handmade Vodka. You can replace it with an equal amount of sparkling white grape juice or a non-alcoholic spirit to maintain the volume and add a bit of complexity. It will still be festive, green, and delicious for all guests.
What are the essential bar tools I need for these recipes?
You only need a few basics for most of these recipes. A cocktail shaker, a jigger for accurate measuring, and a strainer are the most important. For stirred drinks, a simple bar spoon is helpful. If you don’t have these, a mason jar with a lid can work as a shaker, and standard measuring spoons can work for a jigger.
