3 Easy Halloween Shots Guaranteed to Frighten and Delight

Happy Halloween! In this chilling article, we open the crypt to unveil three vodka shots that are sure to leave your guests spellbound – not least by your mad scientist-like mixology skills.

Whether you’re hosting a haunted house party or a ghostly encounter of any kind, we’ve conjured up the finest spirits to make three Halloween party shots with flavored vodka that will either delight or fright. Are these drinks as hideous as they appear, or is it just a trick of the light? There’s only one way to find out! 

Bloody Brain 

The name is bad enough but just wait until your guests see what it looks like. The Bloody Brain is a party shot that is known for its shock value, which looks just like a hemorrhaging brain.  

The ingredients for a Bloody Brain shot are: 

• Absolut Wild Berri – adds a sinister sweetness with its wild berry flavor, creating a deceptively enticing base for this shot.

• Irish Cream Liqueur – thickens the mixture with its creamy texture, creating a ghastly visual that resembles a brain suspended in the glass.

• Lime Juice – introduces a sharp acidity that curdles the cream, enhancing the shot’s gruesome appearance with a brain-like texture.

• Grenadine – provides a bleeding-like effect as it sinks through the layers, mimicking the eerie sight of blood seeping through the shot.

Spoiler alert! Despite its hideous appearance, the Bloody Brain is a deliciously sweet shot. 

Take a peek at the recipe for a Bloody Brain shot…if you dare!

Tapeworm 

Just when you thought the Bloody Brain was frightening to look at, wait until you see the Tapeworm shot. We’ll go so far as to say the Tapeworm is arguably the most hideous-looking shot ever created. 

This is not a shot to be enjoyed…or is it?  Regardless, witnessing your guests summon the courage to try it is a Halloween challenge you won’t want to miss! 

To make a Tapeworm shot for Halloween, you’ll need: 

• Absolut Peppar – infuses the shot with a peppery heat, creating a fiery foundation for the Tapeworm.

• Hot Sauce – amplifies the heat, adding a sinister red hue and a chili kick that heightens the shot’s shocking allure.

• Ground Black Pepper – enhances the warmth of Absolut Peppar, adding an extra layer of heat that intensifies the shot.

• Mayonnaise – creates the unsettling presence of a tapeworm, while its creamy texture and distinctive taste mingle, producing a “unique flavor combination” you’ll never forget.

The Fastest Bloody Mary in the World 

“I think it still stands up as one of the best shots on earth,” says Ricardo ‘Rico’ Dynan about The Fastest Bloody Mary in the World, a shot created for the launch of Absolut Peppar back in 1986. 

Now, is it the blood-red color of the tomato, the heat of the pepper-flavored vodka, or the name itself that makes this Bloody Mary shot perfect for Halloween festivities?

All you need to make for a Bloody Mary shot is a shot glass and the following ingredients:

• Absolut Peppar – entices with its fiery essence, delivering a tantalizing heat that teeters on the edge of the supernatural.

• Half a cherry tomato – provides a burst of juicy sweetness, reminiscent of forbidden fruit.  

• Flaky sea salt – complements the peppery heat and juicy acidity, adding another layer of savory complexity to this hauntingly delicious shot.

One question remains – can you guests brave the heat?
