Halloween Shot Recipes

These delicious drinks are perfect for the spooky season! These October cocktails can be made in a pitcher then poured as individual shots for guests! Halloween Shots are fun, scary, and unique!

October is a great month for many reasons. Cooler weather, football games, Halloween, bonfires, and more! These crazy cocktail creations are equally impressive and delicious.

Halloween Dessert Shots

These shots are sweet and a little scary....but that won't stop us from sipping on them! (or shooting them straight, hah).

From whiskey to a sweet Lebanese liquor that tastes like black licorice called Arak, there is something for every palate!

Ghostly Arak Shot - Scroll All The Way Down For Recipe!

This is a Lebanese liquor made from grapes and anise. It has a very strong black licorice flavor and is clear right from the bottle but when mixed with a splash of water or club soda, it turns a cloudy white!

It is a fun party trick to show guests and it also serves as a palate cleanser during a meal! The anise flavor clears the palate and is very tasty as just a shot.

Serve with a cube of dry ice for an extra smoky, spooky effect with this Arak shot.

The recipe card is at the bottom of the page for this delicious, Halloween shot!
