Halloween might be best enjoyed by kids (and the young at heart), but that surely doesn’t mean that us adults can’t enjoy ourselves on the most spook-tacular night of the year! Trade in trick or treating and candy-filled pumpkin baskets for four of these scary good Halloween-inspired cocktails from DrinkManila.com that’ll keep even the foulest of ghouls asking for another glass.

Spooky Halloween Punch
Punch is great for any occasion. It’s easy to make and great for toasting as most guests at a get-together enjoy it. It’s the combination of juices and fruit mixed in with the alcohol that give the drink its flavor and personality. From sweet and fruity to tart and tangy, you get to decide! Now to make this classic cocktail Halloween-ready, DrinkManila suggests adding in lychees to the mix — tell your guests they’re not actually fruit, but syrupy-sweet eyeballs!
Check out the video below for how to make this drink.
Red Head
With a dash of orangey-red Tabasco and deep copper cinnamon powder added as finishing touches, this fiery cocktail looks right at home in Dante’s Inferno. Its unusual mix of ingredients may seem intimidating at first, but we assure you that all it does is invigorate and fire you up from the inside out. You’ll need the extra warmth on a cold, dark night like Halloween, after all.
Rubber Duckie Punch for five
There are two kinds of Halloween costumes: there’s the set of daring, adult-appropriate and oftentimes raunchy outfits, but on the other side of the spectrum are the cute, cuddly and wonderfully creative outfits even mom would approve of. The Rubber Duckie Punch is more like the latter, but don’t be fooled by its strong citrus notes from calamnsi, pineapple and orange juice. It may look cute, but it sure packs a punch.
Zombie
Not even pistol-carrying Rick Grimes (of The Walking Dead) can resist one of these bad boys. The Zombie can be enjoyed all year round, but its very name has helped it make it to this list. With five kinds of alcohol mixed together, lightweights who let themselves have a glass too many of this timeless cocktail may very well feel zombie-like the next day!
