The other half? The citrusy flavor combination is a thirst-quenching party pleaser. Layers of mango-sweetened gelatin, bubbly orange drink, and honey-infused whipped cream imitate candy corn's colorful stripes. Test Kitchen Tip: Layer the mixtures in tall, clear glasses if you'd rather show off vivid hues in individual servings. 02 of 18 Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice Latte View Recipe Matthew Clark PSL, pretty please! Act like your slow cooker is a witchy cauldron and bubbly up a far-from-basic bevvy with plenty of real canned pumpkin, warm fall spices, and almond milk. The splash of coffee will keep you caffeinated just enough to power through the last trick-or-treater. 03 of 18 Raspberry or Mango Spritz-Ade Cocktails View Recipe Blaine Moats Move over standard margs. We're sweetening the deal with frozen fruit, lemonade, and sparkling water so these tequila drinks are just sweet enough.

It's not a party without ice cream, and a Halloween party is no different. 05 of 18 Floating Hand Punch View Recipe Take things up a notch with a pair of floating hands in your Halloween punch. To make them, fill plastic gloves with tonic water and freeze.

This drink will be a crowd-pleaser, so feel free to set up one cocktail and let guests serve themselves. 08 of 18 Monster Mash Slush View Recipe Kritsada Panichgul This monstrously flavorful slush is dripping with spooky character. The tequila-laced frozen mixture of melon and orange takes on the look of a mad scientist's latest experiment when it's drizzled with blood-red grenadine. Black decorating sugar rims the glass, giving the Halloween cocktail an ominous effect. 09 of 18 Tangled Web Shakes View Recipe Kritsada Panichgul Oh, what a tangled web we weave—and oh, what a delicious result!

Wine about it! This easy-sipping Halloween drink is infused with sugar (honey), spice (cinnamon), and everything nice (white wine) for a grown-up cider that's will keep you in good spirits. Test Kitchen Tip: For a lower-alcohol option, simply omit the liquor and stick to wine alone. 17 of 18 Snickerdoodle Cider Mimosa View Recipe Brie Passano Cookie or cocktail? How about both! This light-in-alcohol sparkling wine drink is flavored just like the classic buttery cookie. Cream soda, cinnamon, and sugar are the key three ingredients. 18 of 18 Matcha Green Tea Latte View Recipe The only thing spooky about this Halloween drink recipe is the color!
