BOO-Cardi Punch And 17 More Scary-Good Halloween Cocktails

2 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin

1 cup canned, unsweetened coconut milk

1 cup Malibu rum 

1/2 cup sugar

Sprinkle the gelatin over the coconut milk in a saucepan and let sit for a few minutes. Heat over low heat, stirring, until the gelatin starts to dissolve. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Cool until just warm.

Stir in the Malibu. Pour into spherical ice mold that has been sprayed with cooking spray. After chilling and unmolding, paint on details with gel or paste food coloring. 

For added grossness, use a large syringe to squirt some red (gelled) Jell-O into the center of the eyeball, or some other thick filling, like pudding. Insert the syringe carefully and squirt the filling out slowly so it doesn’t explode the eyeball.

1 orange

1/2 of a medium honeydew melon, seeded, peeled, and cubed (3 cups)

2/3 cup tequila

1/2 cup orange liqueur

4 cups ice cubes

Coarse sugar or black sea salt

1 16 ounce bottle lemon-lime carbonated beverage, chilled

2 - 3 tablespoons grenadine syrup

Cut orange in half. Cut one half into wedges; wrap and chill overnight. Juice the remaining half; set juice aside.

In a blender combine honeydew melon, tequila, orange liqueur, and the reserved orange juice; cover and blend until smooth. With blender running, add ice cubes, a few at a time, blending until mixture becomes slushy. Pour into a 2-quart freezer container. Cover; freeze overnight.

To serve, rub the reserved orange wedges around rims of eight glasses. Dip rims in coarse sugar or black sea salt to coat; set aside. Using a heavy spoon, scrape frozen mixture; scoop mixture into prepared glasses. Add 1/4 cup of the chilled lemon-lime beverage to each glass. Drizzle with grenadine.

1/2 oz vodka

3 oz pink champagne

Cranberry ginger ale, to taste

1/2 oz lemon or lime juice

Pink food dye, optional

Corn syrup, optional

To line the glass with the "blood drips" mix the corn syrup with the pink food dye. Use a spoon to drip the corn syrup down the inside edge of the glass. You can freeze the glasses to prevent the syrup from running but I like the really drippy effect rather than just keeping it on the edge.

Place the vodka and lime juice in the bottom of your champagne flute and top with pink champagne. Let the bubbles fizz out and then fill to the edge with cranberry gingerale.

If serving with dry ice, pop a small pebble-sized piece in each glass and be sure to instruct your guests to wait until it is done bubbling out before imbibing.

For the "Blood":

3 tablespoons corn syrup

1/4 teaspoons red food coloring

For the drink:

20 ounces pineapple juice

1 can (15 ounces) cream of coconut

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup orange juice

10 ounces good-quality rum

Pour the corn syrup in a shallow bowl. Dip a toothpick into the food coloring, and stir a very small amount into the syrup to combine. Hold a glass by the stem, dip rim into the syrup mixture, and turn glass slowly, coating entire rim. Turn the glass upright, allowing mixture to drip down sides. Dip the remaining glasses. Set aside.

1 oz blue curacao

1 oz vodka

3 oz lemon lime soda

1 oz cranberry juice

1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

Lime twist for garnish

Fill a shaker halfway with ice. Add curacao, vodka and lime juice. Shake until mixed well. Add soda and stir. Pour cranberry juice into a tall glass.

Over the back of a spoon, gently strain the mixed ingredients over the cranberry juice, being careful not to completely mix the two for presentation. Serve with a cocktail stirrer and a lime twist for garnish.
