Halloween, we find, is very divisive. It seems to either be considered the best or worst day of the year. And whilst we admit Halloween has the tendency to be a little tacky, there’s something in its mystical pagan heritage that makes us ready to embrace a little darkness.
Like it or loathe it, All Hallows Eve does present an excellent opportunity to get a little bit weird. And when it comes to drinks, there’s no better time for cocktails that lean into the eerie, indulgent, and unexpected. From smokey twists on the Bloody Mary to velvety spiced punches, our Halloween serves bring a little drama to the glass, equal parts spooky and delicious.
So whether you're a full-blown Halloween enthusiast, pumpkin picking, dressing up and throwing a party, or just looking for an adventurous adult evening at home, try your hand at one of our grisly concoctions which are, under the surface, mouthwateringly good.
Bullfighter
This beefy Bloody Mary is lip-smackingly tasty, deliciously spicy and luxuriously served with a side of bone marrow, solid work for a spooky brunch.
Magic Milk Punch
A creamy blend of Black Cow, spiced chai and lavender, this comforting serve brings sweetness, warmth and a little witchy flair, the perfect nightcap once the cauldrons have stopped bubbling.
La Vache
The serving style is what makes this twisted Bloody Mary so beautifully macabre, with slimy yet satisfyingly delicious boiled eggs and pickled onions floating serenely on the bloody tomato bath.
Dickie Bird
Not one for the faint of heart. A serious Bloody Mary giving us Roast Chicken flavours and garnished with spectacularly ghastly roasted chicken feet.
Envy
The green tomato juice lightens up this Bloody Mary, making it more refreshing and yet still pleasingly filthy with smoked hot sauce and pickle juice.
Tongue & Peat
Is there a creepier and yet more indulgent pairing than a Bloody Mary and black pudding? We’ll wait. For added luxury, this recipe gets its smokiness from heavily peated whisky finished with sweet chilli jam.
