A drink that looks spooky but tastes smooth? This drink satisfies on both counts. It's an easy-going cocktail that lives up to the aesthetic demands of the holiday. And, as Sarah Jo says, "It's almost like a wine cooler, only without the bubbles."

The addition of gelatin makes this drink particularly spooky. A hand suspended in the punch bowl adds a ghoulish visual effect. "I used this recipe many times for parties. The hand coming out of the bowl is awesome," says cutiepie. Add a splash of vodka to the bowl to make this a spooky cocktail.

A shandy is a mix of beer and, traditionally, a lemon or lime drink, but in this version pumpkin beer comes together with fall-appropriate apple cider. On the night when pumpkins are celebrated, this drink is one for the books. "It's a pretty great combination of flavors and a nice, light drink for a fall evening," says cowgirl.

These candy-colored and delightfully sweet martinis can be made in any and every flavor you wish. Candy is the theme of the night, after all, so why not embrace the sugar high and ingest your sweets in all ways possible? There is only one word to describe this martini, according to reviewer Patty: "Delish."
Slime Punch

Green, gross, and definitely slimy, this punch will either gross guests out or impress them (or maybe both). Serve it with or without alcohol — or make a batch for adults and one for kids — and watch the Halloween squeamishness begin.
Mater's Adult Butterbeer

Butternut schnapps, spiced rum, and butter flavoring combine for this wizard-inspired beverage. Recipe creator Chase Mater says, "I opted for a simplified version that tasted a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch and was strong enough to slightly inebriate something larger than a house elf. Great for Harry Potter-themed parties or Halloween."
Poison Apple Martini

Why bob for apples when you can sip this smooth cocktail instead? The cranberry-apple juice blend adds bold color and plenty of sweet and tart flavor.
