The Voodoo Child
Combine all ingredients into a mixing tin, add your ice, and shake aggressively for about 20 seconds. Strain over fresh ice into a tumbler and get creative with your garnish. Dry ice? Cayenne-dusted lime wheels? Thinly-sliced fresh red chili? Fugu powder? Up to you.
The Zombie
The Zombie is the mother of all freak drinks. Although it may seem like a product of the Pu-Pu platter 1950s, it actually hearkens back to the late '30s, when Hollywood restaurateur Don the Beachcomber supposedly cooked it up as liquid CPR for some poor SOB experiencing death by hangover.
Between the Sheets
Get it? Ghosts wear sheets? Done. Shake the rum, Cointreau, juice, and cognac (you can substitute another French brandy, or a Spanish brandy if you want a softer version) well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a twist of lemon.
The Merry Widow
Not just for Christmas anymore. Try out 2 ounces of French vermouth and 2 ounces of Dubonnet. Pour into a small wineglass so you feel like a giant holding it.
Dog's Nose
Because pet costumes are costumes too. Drop a shot glass of London dry gin into a pint of porter, pale ale, or bitter ale.
Orange Blossom
Because your girl will love an orange cocktail on Halloween and, let's face it, so would you. Add some dry gin to your orange juice and shake well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
The Midnight Mary
Place halved tomatoes in the bottom of a mixing glass. Add lime and simple syrup. Muddle well to extract liquid from tomatoes. Add remainder of ingredients. Add ice, shake well, and pour through mesh strainer (to collect solids) into a chilled coupe.
The Green Fizz
Who doesn't like a Halloween drink that looks like dull swamp water? Shake strenuously with cracked ice in a chilled cocktail shaker -- don't worry, one egg white will do fine for two drinks -- then strain into a Collins glass.
