Halloween brings out all sorts of creatures that go bump in the night, but quite possibly the most frightening are those who feed off the blood of the living to continue roaming the earth in a continual state of ‘undead’.   Vampire and zombie type Halloween figures rank among the most popular style cloak and classic costuming during the Halloween season. These bloodcurdling phantoms of the night create the perfect inspiration for spine-tingling, bloody Halloween drink recipes. Vampire elixirs, Zombies resurrected and blood curdling drink recipes make excellent concoctions for your Halloween party.

 

42Below Vodka creatively enlists the use of chili peppers to garnish a refreshing watermelon and passion fruit cocktail to resemble a devilish vampire who just might add a little bite in the fiery finish if you are the adventurous sort. Vampire’s Kiss allows a little play in the champagne toast with either red sugared rim or vampire fangs buried beneath the bubbly. Dracula will be nibbling a blood orange wedge garnish rather than guest’s necks once the Dra-Kahlua recipe makes the rounds at your Halloween party. This spooky brew brings Kahlua and Cognac together for a different sort of spine-chilling sipper. The Zombie Resurrected and Cryptini drink recipes both bring spirits back from the dead with their use of espresso, coffee liqueur and an updated version of the classic Zombie cocktail.

 

The photo drink recipe slide show below contains 10 Vampire, Zombie and Blood themed Halloween cocktails. Spirits featured include Belvedere Vodka, 42Below Vodka, VeeV Acai Spirit, Kahlua, Finlandia Vodka, Smirnoff Vodka and Bacardi Rum. Each eerie recipe is ideal for traditional costumed Halloween parties with vampires, zombies and the undead roaming about in their ‘bloodied’ attire.
