The Mad Scientist Is A Fun Halloween Cocktail

Every Halloween, my mom had a huge party. My three older brothers were in charge of the decorations and music. They recorded creepy sounds like a creaking door and a mad scientist laughing. They used fake blood, plastic spiders and bats. They also used cheesecloth for spiderwebs, bloody cloths and ghosts.

The Mad Scientist is a fun Halloween cocktail recipe that is as visually stunning as it is tasty! It is the perfect Halloween party cocktail idea.

While my brothers were transforming our house, mom was busy in the kitchenmaking “lady finger” sandwiches, mummy dogs and bloody brain dip. She made punch for the kids and a signature cocktail for the adults. Our guests said she created a fun Halloween cocktail that got better every year!

Until I threw my first Halloween party, I had no idea what big shoes I had to fill. It takes a lot to pull off a haunted house for Halloween! During the party, the kids hand out candy at the door and help me in the kitchen, while my husband plays bartender.

This year, our fun Halloween cocktail is The Mad Scientist. Another great cocktail, any time of the year, is my Pomegranate Martini!

Not only is this fun Hallooween cocktail visually appealing, it is delicious too! The Mad Scientist puts together two of my favorite flavors; orange and black raspberry. When I was a bartender, I used these two tasty liqueurs in many a shot!

So, when I was trying to come up with a fun drink for this year’s Halloween party, I put them together, along with some lemon lime soda and some cranberry juice we had on hand. BAM!! We had this year’s fun Halloween cocktail! Add some dry ice and you will have all your guests in awe!

  20. My go-to cocktail is always a jack and coke. I also love a good mojito and a French Martini. I’ve served up a French Martini at a dinner party years ago and it was a big hit. I’m going to have to check out Drizly. It sounds amazing and very helpful

  52. I love this! I would never think to use dry ice in a drink, but it is awesome and has an amazing effect! We don’t do a halloween party because our youngest’s birthday is really close to Halloween, but I can see as she gets older maybe wanting to do a Halloween themed b-day party. Can’t wait to try this out!
