Get ready to impress your guests this Halloween with spooky and festive cocktail garnishes. From eerie eyeballs to creepy spiders, these ideas will add a touch of horror to your Halloween party drinks. Whether you’re hosting a costume party or just want to enjoy a festive beverage, these Halloween cocktail garnish ideas will help you create a memorable and thrilling atmosphere.
Eerie Eyeball Garnish
For a classic Halloween garnish, create eerie eyeballs using lychees or grapes. Peel and pit the lychees or grapes, then cut a small hole in the center of each one. Drop a small black olive into each hole to create the pupils. For a finishing touch, add a drop of red food coloring to the center of the pupils. You can also use blueberries or raspberries as a base for a slightly smaller eye garnish.
To make the eyeballs more gruesome, you can add fake blood or red food coloring around the edges. Another option is to use cocktail picks to create veins on the eyeballs. Simply push the cocktail picks into the eyeballs, creating a spidery effect. These eerie eyeballs are sure to add a frightfully fun touch to your Halloween cocktails.
Creepy Spider Garnish
Nothing says Halloween like a creepy spider garnish. To make this garnish, you’ll need black olives and pretzel sticks. Cut the olives in half lengthwise, then cut each half into three smaller pieces. These pieces will form the spider’s body and head.
For the spider’s legs, break the pretzel sticks in half. Insert two pretzel stick halves into the top of the spider’s body, and two halves into the bottom. You can also use toothpicks to create the spider’s legs. Simply insert the toothpicks into the spider’s body, then bend them to create a spidery shape.
Floating Witch’s Hat Garnish
For a more whimsical Halloween garnish, try floating witch’s hats. To make these hats, you’ll need blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Cut the blackberries in half horizontally. These will form the brim of the witch’s hats.
For the cone of the hats, use raspberries or blueberries. Simply stack the raspberries or blueberries on top of the blackberries. You can also use toothpicks to hold the hats together. These floating witch’s hats are sure to add a touch of magic to your Halloween cocktails.
No matter what kind of Halloween party you’re hosting, these Halloween cocktail garnish ideas will help you create festive and spooky drinks. Happy haunting!
