Get ready to scream and chill with this list of the best Halloween movies ever. From spooky classics to modern thrillers, these films all take place during the spookiest time of year. Grab your popcorn and get ready for a Halloween movie marathon like no other. Now for the spooky sips:
Bloody Negroni. A deep red, herbaceous, this Bloody Negroni that’s rich in color and flavor—a fall classic. This take on the classic Negroni incorporates the rich red hues of Martini & Rossi’s Riserva Speciale Rubino and Bitter. Combined with Bombay Sapphire gin, the Bloody Negroni offers a beautiful balance of bitterness, spice and herbal notes—perfect for those chilly fall evenings.
Ingredients:
- 1 oz Martini & Rossi Riserva Speciale Rubino
- 1 oz Martini & Rossi Riserva Speciale Bitter
- 1 oz Bombay Sapphire gin
- Orange peel
Instructions: Mix ingredients together and pour into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with an orange peel.
Candy Corn Shot. The key to the "candy corn" effect is layering the ingredients according to their specific gravity. Pouring the gold-colored Galliano, then orange curaçao, and topping it off with cream creates the same distinct striping as the Halloween candy.
The Goblin & Gremlin's. Perfect energy boost and pairing with the movie Gremlins. This classic 80s Horror Film will remind you of how creative and witty the blockbusters of the time were. Unlike the gremlins in the movie, this cocktail won’t turn on you. Just don’t drink it after midnight or expose it to light.
Halloween Hypnotist. Dazzle your guests with a bewitching martini. The vodka recipe is easy and fruity requiring just three common ingredients and the glow stick "garnish" completes the effect spectacularly.
Poison Apple Punch. Fresh ginger, cinnamon sticks and cloves add so much warm, spicy flavor to this mix of apple cider and whiskey. Fresh citrus zest rounds things out with a bright, natural sweetness.
Candy Appley Cocktail. The candy appley cocktail spikes sparkling cider with caramel-flavored moonshine, then tosses an apple liqueur and cranberry juice into the mix.
