Claire’s take on the classic dark and stormy mixes ginger ale and dark rum. The recipe calls for black decorating sugar and gummy spiders -- who knew arachnophobia could be so fun?

Vampire Fruit Cider

This fruity take on traditional hot cider is best served warm. Serve it this weekend -- vampires young and old will love this non-alcoholic cider's bright red hue.

Take a stab at this recipe: Mulled Cranberry-Apple Cider

Candy corn-infused vodka and orange liqueur give this posh little cocktail a classic Halloween feel. Garnish each glass with a few extra orange-and-yellow candies.

Warm “Redrum” Cocktails

In Stephen King's novel The Shining, the word "redrum" (murder spelled backwards) is used repeatedly as a plot device. This Halloween, make your own "redrum" by mixing up a batch of hot buttered rum and adding a few drops of red food coloring.  The color might send chills up your spine, but the hot, spicy punch will warm you up again.

Witches Brew With Wormy Ice Cubes

Witches brew is must for Halloween parties. This brew utilizes gummy worms, dry ice and a cauldron as freaky finishing touches for your next haunted house.  Leave out the vodka for a kid-friendly punchl.
