I never had this but I'm thinking of trying it - minus the eyeballs. Marshmallows in my drink isn't my thing. Instead I'll pretend eyes are there.

If you’re looking for a spine-tingling Halloween cocktail, look no further! This ghost cocktail is every bit spooky and satisfying. Featuring ingredients like simple syrup, heavy cream, vodka, club soda and pure vanilla extract, this Halloween vodka cocktail is sure to get the party started. This creamy cocktail is even more fun to enjoy thanks to the sparkly black sugar rim and creepy marshmallow eyeballs that look up at you with every sip.

One of our most popular Halloween alcoholic drinks, this spooky sipper is ready to serve in just 10 minutes and will definitely have everyone drinking in spooky style.

My go-to is just absinthe with a sugar cube. Looks cool and the ties to Dracula are good enough for me 🧛

Absinthe, prepared in the traditional method (with cold sugar water added) so it gets all cloudy and ghostly looking. You don’t need an “absinthe fountain” or anything like that; you can just drip the water in with a spoon
