4. Bloody Shirley Temple Drinks

These bloody Shirley Temple drinks are as delicious as they are creepy. The creep factor comes from a plastic syringe that is filled with “blood” (which is actually grenadine).

Mix it all up and pour in mugs or tumblers to give your Harry Potter-themed Halloween party a real pick me up.

8. Candy Corn Halloween Drinks

Candy corn is a must for any Halloween party. If you don’t want to have it out in candy dishes, then simply make candy corn drinks.
