It’s time to put up those skeletons and add some pumpkins to your front porch. If you’re having a Halloween party, a small get-together or just hanging out with your significant other I’ve got some great Halloween themed cocktails for you to try when the spooky day rolls around. Whether you’re just looking for a festive drink or a something a little spookier we’ve got the 4 best cocktails for your Halloween bash.

Severed Hand Sangria

If you’re throwing a huge Halloween party and want people to “ooo” and “ahh” over everything in your house definitely include this killer sangria.

Cooking Channel TV

Ingredients:

• 1 Latex glove
• Filtered water (enough to fill latex glove)
• 2 bottles Dry red wine
• 3 cups Sparkling water
• 3 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 3 oz Brandy (or Cointreau)
• 3 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 Fresh oranges, thinly sliced
• 2 Fresh pink grapefruit, thinly sliced
• 2 Fresh lemons, thinly sliced
• 2 Fresh limes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup natural sour cherries in syrup

Directions:

The night before the party, fill a few latex gloves with some filtered water, tie them up like you would a balloon and freeze overnight.

In a big punch bowl combine red wine, sparkling water, orange juice, brandy, brown sugar, fruit slices, and sour cherry syrup. Stir and add 1 frozen ice-hand, latex glove removed.

Black Devil Martini

The Black Devil Martini is an extremely easy, festive drink if you don’t want to do the whole latex glove thing. With an orange sugar rim and black olives it’s the perfect amount of decorative, spooky and intriguing.

Ingredients:
• 2 oz. dark rum
• 1/2 oz. dry vermouth
• Black olive

Directions:
Stir and strain into chilled martini glass, garnish with olive.

Witches Brew

Another festive drink is this delicious Witches Brew that is as mischievous as it is delicious.

Ingredients:
• 2 oz. mixed pineapple and cranberry juice
• 2 oz. 7-Up
• 1 1/4 oz. shot Malibu Coconut Rum

Mix juices and 7-Up in a highball glass. Pour shot down the side of the glass right before drinking.

Clockwork Orange

Remember when you were a kid (or an adult, I don’t judge) and you used to eat those Orange popsicles? Well, this is just a grown up version of that. It’s tasty, full of flavor and the perfect color for Halloween.

Ingredients:
