Blood Sucker Cocktail To create this vampire-friendly cocktail, shake up triple sec, vodka and pineapple juice, then strain and pour into a glass. Use strawberry or raspberry puree to add streams of "blood" down the sides of the glass. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
Bloody Brain Shooter Channel your inner mad scientist with this Bloody Brain Shooter. Add chilled vodka and lime juice to a shot glass, then use a straw to drip Irish cream into the glass.

Liquefied Ghost This ghostly white drink tastes like a grown-up version of a milkshake. Mix vanilla simple syrup, cream, vodka and soda and serve in a martini glass. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
Zombie Cocktail Like real zombies, the walking dead's namesake cocktail packs a powerful punch thanks to apricot brandy and three types of rum: light, dark and high-proof Bacardi 151. Grenadine and orange juice give the drink its lovely pumpkin hue. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
Black Devil Martini A martini of a different color, dark rum and a black-olive garnish give this drink its midnight hue. Rim the glass with coarse orange sugar to dress up it up for a Halloween party. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello

The Brain For a simpler, fruitier take on the Bloody Brain Shooter, pour peach schnapps in a glass and top with Irish cream for a blood-curdling presentation. For extra gore, top with a dash of blood-red grenadine. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
Milky Way Martini Don't forget the candy! This Milky Way Martini, an adult version of the classic candy bar, mixes coffee liqueur, chocolate vodka and cream for the perfect Halloween treat. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
Cemetery Slime Punch Try this non-alcoholic, gross-looking punch at your next Halloween bash. Since little ghouls and goblins will likely be pumped up on sugar from trick-or-treat bags, diet root beer and frozen yogurt won't add to the impact. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
Autumn Colors Cocktail If you're not into Halloween ghosts and gore, try this toned-down drink that celebrates the season, not the scares. Sweet iced tea and pomegranate liqueur give the drink a color that mirrors fall foliage, while a shot of vodka gives it a little kick. Get the recipe >> Photo by Steve Murello
