From slightly creepy to downright delicious, these 13 cocktails will go down easy — just what you need after gorging on Halloween candy.


1. Red Velvet Devil: Although it contains just three ingredients (vodka, cranberry juice, and club soda) this blood-hued brew is anything but basic. (via Cosmopolitan)

2. Black and Orange Rum Punch: Stick to classic Halloween colors in this cocktail and let the fruity flavors of orange, pineapple and lime juice shine. (via Brit+Co)

3. Candy Corn-Infused Vodka: Didn’t think the all-time best Halloween candy could get any better? This vodka will make you think again. (via Kitchen Treaty)

4. Apple Cide-Car: This spin on the classic Sidecar cocktail is like the grown up version of bobbing for apples — and it’s tastier, too. (via Brit+Co)

5. Vampire Punch: Vampires’ taste buds are in for a twitch of tang thanks to the lime sherbet in this recipe. (via Cookin’ Canuck)

6. Mr. Hyde Potion: Herbs like lavender and tarragon take center stage in this beverage, named in honor of Dr. Jekyll’s more sinister half. (via HGTV)
