5 Perfectly Savage Halloween Cocktail Ideas
Halloween is nearly upon us. You've probably been searching for some eerily delicious drinks to serve at your Halloween party, or possibly something uniquely perfect to order when you head to the All Hallows' Eve bash at your favorite bar. Savage Scorpions scoured the internet for a few ideas, and we think these will work boo-tifully for any Halloween celebration.
They say this first cocktail was invented over 100 years ago by members of Bermuda's Royal Naval Officer's Club. The name was given to describe the ominous hue of the drink as "the color of a cloud only a fool or dead man would sail under." Definitely not something to sail through, but for sure something to enjoy on a dark Halloween night. Of course, our Savage Scorpions would have no problem "diving" right in!

You've all heard the song (and if not, you need to look it up. It's perfect listening for this time of year!) Now try this delicious drink named after the one-eyed, one-horned, flying monster.

Savage Scorpion Jello Shots
These are always a crowd pleaser at a party! You can find lots of sites online that tell you exactly how to mix your jello shots. They are all generally the same, but the difference comes from the flavor of jello that you choose and the type of alcohol you use with it. Our improvement on the recipe is to add one of our creative cocktail garnishes to each shot before it sets!
There are a few drink ideas to get you in the Halloween spirit. The best way to make any drink or shot spooky (and savage) is always to add a Savage Scorpion to the recipe!
Don't forget, they also glow naturally under an ultraviolet light, making them especially awesome for Halloween. Savage Scorpions are sure to bring excitement along with them to any party.

An obvious choice for a Halloween cocktail if you happen to be dressed as a vampire or a zombie is, of course, a Bloody Mary! (Or a Bloody Maria if you prefer tequila to vodka.) There are lots of recipes out there for this classic drink, most of which are generally the same. You can even go the super easy route and simply add your favorite vodka to a really good pre-made Bloody Mary Mix. We did find one recipe to share in case you want to do a little more than that.
