5 Deliciously Scary Drinks to Try This Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Trinity chapter.

The only people who love Halloween more than little kids are college students, so here are some drink ideas to get you in the Halloween mindset. 

 

Bloody Brain Shooters

Realistic looking brains add blood and gore to these mind-numbing shots. When Baileys is added to the acidic lime juice in the shot, it curdles and forms brain-like strands that are topped with grenadine to create a bloody effect.

Zombie Slime Shooters

Blood slime on the rim gives these fruity green martinis a creepy touch.

Black Lagoon Cocktail

Black ice cubes add a sinister touch to this lemony vodka concoction. The drink starts out clear, but as the ice cubes melt, it becomes an eerie black.
