Get into the spirit of Halloween with these frozen ghostly white favorites. To make Pina Ghouladas, blend rum and ice with Pina Colada Mix according to package directions – or mix up your own by whisking together 20 oz. of pineapple juice, 15 oz. cream of coconut, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 cup orange juice and 10 oz. rum. Place about 2 to 2 1/2 cups ice cubes in a blender, and add 1 cup of the drink mixture. Stir a few drops of red food coloring into 3 T. corn syrup and dip the rim of each glass in the red syrup.

Zombies are hot this year! Wake up a party for the un-dead with classic Corpse Reviver No. 2 cocktails along with bottles of spirits, wine or soda with wacky Zombie Tonic labels.

To make a Corpse Reviver No. 2, mix 1 oz. each of gin, orange liqueur, Lillet and fresh lemon juice along with a dash of absinthe in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until well-chilled, then strain into a skull & crossbones goblet or a small champagne coupe. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Dare to try this creepy crawly concoction! Let your vodka-lovin' guests pick their poison with a Black Widow. Turn up the fright factor by placing mini spiders around your drinks display.

To make a Black Widow mix 1 oz. of Anisette, 1 oz. of blackberry brandy, 1-1/2 oz. of vodka and 1 splash of Creme de Cassis together. Add Black Sugar Sprinkles around the rim of each glass and sling black licorice strips over the edges of your glasses to create “spider legs” and really creep out your guests.

If you've only got eyes for traditional drinks, try this eye-catching spin on a dry martini.

To make an Eyeball Martini, peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin on to represent blood vessels. Using the tip of a small knife, carefully scoop out a small hole in each radish. Stuff a green olive into each hole. Then mix 1 shot of gin or vodka with 1/4 shot of dry vermouth, and add a few "eyeballs" to your drinks.

It's alive! Make cocktails that look like they've been created in a mad scientist's lab. When it comes to these little monsters, it's obvious that it's time to bring on the buzz.

For Goblin Mimosas, place Candy Eyeballs inside olives or blueberries and insert bamboo skewers. Fill a glass halfway with orange juice, then pour black vodka carefully over the juice. (Pour the vodka slowly over the back of a spoon so that it runs down the side of the glass, to keep the liquids from mixing.) Top glasses with your skewered "eyeballs" and serve up your ghoulish goblins!

Everyone loves apple cider in the fall, but they'll look twice when it's served in this Skull & Crossbones Punch Bowl along with Skull Goblets and a Bone Ladle set on a dramatic webbed table cover. (We also used dry ice in mini cauldrons to make "fog.")

To make Spiked Cider, add a gallon of apple cider to a punch bowl, then spike it to taste with vanilla cognac, brandy or ginger liqueur. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, kumquat slices and small apples studded with cloves.

Keep your Halloween drink menu simple by letting guests mix their own Monstrous Martinis to sip out of these sleek Skull and Bones Martini Glasses. Keep the theme going by threading olives on matching picks and setting out eco-friendly recycled napkins with a modern design.

Create a Monstrous Martini bar by setting out vodka in a cool skull-shaped bottle like this one, plus gin, white vermouth, a small bowl of olives, a cocktail shaker and a bowl of ice.

Add a creepy Halloween twist to your favorite party wines or even soft drinks with these wacky labels that turn them into slightly revolting choices like Ghoul's Grog and Raven's Blood Brew. Add drama with an assortment of glassware with chilling shapes and designs.

Give your Halloween party a pirate adventure twist by decorating with Skull Goblets, napkins and table covers that recall the Jolly Roger, plus netting, daggers and doubloons.

Serve a classic cocktail like Blood & Sand, which is sure to satisfy the thirstiest pirate. To make a Blood & Sand cocktail, mix 1-1/2 ounces orange juice, 3/4 oz. each Scotch whisky and sweet vermouth plus 1/2 tablespoon cherry brandy in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until well-chilled, then strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of orange zest.

Rotten to the core — and delightfully delicious! The Maggotini is definitely a treat if you can look past its tricky first impression of a decaying drink.

To make a Maggotini, stir 2 oz. of gin, 4 oz. of tonic, 1 oz. fresh lime juice, 1 oz. of cucumber juice and 1 tsp. of Blue Agave sweetener. Peel a cucumber, and halve and scoop out its seeds with a small spoon. Finely dice your cucumber and add it to your drink with a splash of soda.

Get wickedly charming with wine charms and bottle stoppers featuring scary skulls. Disguise your wine bottles with Halloween Bottle Labels to really thrill scream-seeking guests. Blood Manor Wine Goblets and skull napkins pair perfectly with this look that's frightfully fit for a bone collector's boo bash.

In case some vampires show up at your party, you'll want to have lots of bright red Sinful Sangria on hand for the bloodsuckers. Serve it in a thrilling red-and-black tableau that stars a faux cut-crystal punch bowl.

To make a vivid Sinful Sangria that will satiate a crowd, mix two 750 ml bottles of rosé or blush wine with 4 cups pomegranate juice, 4 cups lemon soda and 2 cups limoncello liqueur. Top with sliced oranges and apples studded with cloves and cinnamon sticks.

Give the bloody treatment to any popular cocktail like a mojito or a margarita by adding some grenadine syrup to the bottom of the glass.

To make this Bloody Moscow Mule, fill a skull mug with ice, then add 1-1/4 oz. vodka, 1/2 oz. sugar syrup and 1/4 oz. lime juice. Top with 3 oz. ginger beer. Garnish with fresh mint and a lime wheel. Once you've got the recipe down, mix up a pitcher to keep bodies from piling up at the bar.

Planning creative Halloween party cocktails doesn’t have to give you brain pain. Make slushie shots in Blood Shot Glasses and set in a display to die for. Use a Brain Freeze Mold for a frozen version of grey matter. Mold comes with ice flavor mix that simply dissolves in water. Set your shots in a bowl with ice and your brain mold for a chilling creation.
