Orange Juice
Orange juice is so delicious and tasty on it’s own but mix it with vodka, grenadine and prosecco and you have yourself one brilliant drink. Plus as it’s full of vitamins you could almost believe this is a healthy cocktail. (Almost).
Vodka
Vodka is an incredibly versatile and loved spirit for my cocktail recipes. Its subtle taste make it an ideal base for mixing with other ingredients to create a wide range of cocktails, including those for a Halloween party.
Grenadine
Grenadine is a red non alcoholic liquerer usually made from pomegranates. It adds a touch of sweetness and a deep crimson color reminiscent of blood and perfect for Halloween cocktails. To create a harmonious blend of flavors, it’s important to choose the right proportions when mixing vodka and orange juice.
Prosecco
Prosecco is an enchanting ingredient that adds a touch of sparkle to your spine-tinglingly good vodka cocktails. Just like grenadine, Prosecco offers a unique flavour profile that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, making it a must-have addition to your Halloween party menu.

Summoning the Spirits: Halloween Cocktail Party Tips
Please drink responsibly and check out Drink Aware for more information.
Opt for a dim, candle-lit glow that casts eerie shadows across the room. Place flickering LED candles in pumpkins, on mantels, and along tables to create an atmosphere brimming with mystery and enchantment.
Decorations are another essential element in summoning the spirits of Halloween who love a good party. From creepy cobwebs to ghostly silhouettes, embrace the macabre and adorn your walls, windows, and tables with ghoulish delights. Hang string lights shaped like bats or skeletons, drape black cloth over furniture, and scatter plastic spiders or fake tombstones throughout your space for an extra dash of frightful fun.
No Halloween cocktail party is complete without a bewitching playlist. Create a spine-tingling soundtrack to accompany your evening by curating a collection of haunting tunes. Think classic horror movie soundtracks, eerie instrumental pieces, and Halloween-themed hits to set the right mood and keep your guests delightfully spooked throughout the night.
When it comes to serving your deliciously chilling concoctions, presentation is key. Float dry ice in a cauldron-shaped punch bowl to create a foggy effect, garnish martinis with floating eyeball-shaped lychee fruit, or add a sinister twist to your cocktails with gummy worms frozen in ice cubes for an extra touch of Halloween magic.
Vodka Halloween Cocktail Substitutions and Variations
Add cranberry juice
Add a splash of cranberry juice to bring a deep, blood-red colour to your drink. This simple addition not only enhances it visually but also adds a subtle tartness that complements the orange juice.
Adding fresh berries
Experiment with muddled raspberries or blackberries for a touch of natural sweetness and a sinisterly vibrant color.
Add fresh herbs
Fresh mint or basil leaves can lend a refreshing element to your vodka cocktails. While rosemary or thyme can bring a subtle earthiness that complements the Halloween atmosphere.
Add a sour twist
For an extra kick, add a squeeze of lime or lemon to balance out the sweetness and add a refreshing zest.
Making Vodka Halloween Cocktail ahead of time options

Vodka Halloween Cocktail FAQS
What can be mixed with vodka?
There are so many things you can mix with vodka. Vodka is a spirit without a strong flavour so it works so well with fruit juices, tonics, soda, ginger beer and so many more.
What should you not mix with vodka?
Red wine and vodka should not be mixed. The hangover from them is very strong and can leave you feel very sick.
Can you make a Halloween cocktail in advance?
The best part about this Halloween cocktail is how you can make it in advance. Simply mix the orange juice, vodka and grenadine together and store in the fridge. Then when you are ready to serve pour it over ice and add the Prosecco.
