It’s time for a Halloween cocktail party!

In this feature, we are going to show you how to create the most devilishly delightful Halloween cocktail garnishes that will take your witching-hour soiree to the next level.

From Halloween candy garnishes to eyeballs made of lychee, these nine spooktacular garnish ideas are easy and quick to make at home and oh-so-fun!

Give them a go…

Red Icing Blood Halloween Cocktail Garnish

That’s right, we are starting with one of the goriest items on the list - these are for Halloween, after all!

And this one could not be easier. All that you have to do pipe red icing around the rim of the glass to make lit look like it is dripping with blood and you are ready to give your party guests a scare. What fun!

Hand-Shaped Iced Cube Halloween Garnishes

Your guests will scream with delight (and maybe a little terror) when they see two ice hands floating in the punch bowl at your Halloween party.

All you need are two latex gloves. Fill them with water, tie them off where the hand would go in and leave them in the freeze for a few hours. Once they are frozen, remove the gloves and stick them in your punch bowl. Yours will be a Halloween party to remember…

Halloween Candy

For many, Halloween is all about Halloween candy (sweeties if you are from the UK). So why not give the people what they want by garnishing your Halloween cocktail with Halloween candies?

Candy Corn is the classic autumn and Halloween candy in America but they are not great for garnishing cocktails.

We recommend going for jelly snake candies so you can hang them over the edge of the glass in fun and creepy ways.

Carved Pumpkin Halloween Cocktail Garnishes

It just wouldn’t be Halloween without pumpkins! This garnish idea is a fantastic way to use up off cuts from your pumpkin carving too.

Using a sharp knife or scalpel, cut a coin-shaped piece out of the pumpkin flesh and then carve that into a pumpkin face of your choosing. It’s so much fun and they go so well with our Pumpkin Spice Martini.

Black Halloween Cocktails

Black food colouring is a fantastic way to add a sophisticated Halloween aesthetic to your party!

We have two great ways you can incorporate black food dye into your drinks.

One is by mixing black-powered food colouring into sugar or salt to rim your Halloween margaritas and the other is by mixing the dye into your gin and tonic.

Chocolate Spider Webs Halloween Garnish

Chocoholics are going to simply adore this cute Halloween garnish idea! And it’s so easy to make at home.

Just melt some chocolate and pipe it onto a sheet of baking paper into little spider web shapes. Let the chocolate set and you are ready to peel them off and add them to your Halloween cocktails.

It works so well with Craft Gin Club’s Midnight Martini. Find the recipe here!

Lychee Eyeball Halloween Cocktail Garnish

With lychees and blueberries, you can create a gruesome yet delicious Halloween cocktail garnish that will delight any horror fan.

Just remove the pit at the centre of the lychee and replace it with blueberry to create a garnish that looks like an eyeball.

Piercing the lychee eyeball with a skewer not only helps it stay at the top of the glass but it adds to the spectacle of horror too!

This garnish works especially well with red cocktails like this gin and red wine punch recipe.

Full Moon Ice Cubes

This fantastic Halloween garnish idea is a great way to cool your Halloween cocktails too.

All you need to do is get yourself a spherical ice mould (available online), fill it with water and leave it in your freezer until frozen. Pop it out when you are ready to make your cocktail and you’ll have the moon in your glass.

The effect works especially great with dark and black cocktails like the night sky. Find the perfect black Full Moontini cocktail recipe here!

Frankenstein Chocolate Cocktail Garnish

This one is perfect for your green Halloween cocktails and all it takes is a little melted chocolate.

Dip the rim of the glass in the chocolate to get Frankenstein's monster hair and then pipe on melted chocolate to make the face. Do this before your party so you are ready to pour your green cocktail at a moment’s notice.
