Halloween is the time of year when it’s fun to dress up, including your cocktail. You can transform your Bloody Mary with a few spooky garnishes to make it a Bloody Scary for All Hallows’ Eve.
While I stay away from gore, I do enjoy a little scary fun especially in a celebratory cocktail with Halloween falling on Saturday this year.
Use your Bloody Mary mix of your choice (we like ZingZang, available at the grocery store). Crystal Head Vodka comes in a spooky skull bottle. Mix and serve with a skeletal hand, if you dare. . .
For spooky garnishes for your Bloody Scary, pickled okra (found on the aisle with the other pickles) makes delectable creepy green witch fingers! Attach a sliced almond for a fingernail with a little cream cheese. Skewer a mozzarella ball and top with an olive slice for a spooky eyeball.
I added a some poppy seed and pepper for a little black color to my Bloody Scary rimmer and served with a pair of festive straws.
For other cocktail options for Halloween, shake up a Skeletini,
a spooky infusion of vodka, Grand Marnier, pomegranate and lime juice.

Along with a recipe for ‘Graveyard Dust’ Cheddar Cheese Ball
and Black Bean and Olive Hummus with Spooky Spinach Tortilla Chips!
Happy Haunting!
