Poll: Do You Like Gruesome Halloween Cocktails?

Gruesome Halloween Cocktails: Love Them or Hate Them?

October 27, 2009

My latest cocktail experiment left me wondering how you felt about creepy Halloween cocktails. I settled on the eyeball highball because it seemed to be the right amount of unsettling without appearing over-the-top gruesome. I love a little eeriness, although I think certain drinks, like bloody brain shooters, border on repulsive. How do you feel about these tipples?

Nastay! But I'd drink one. :)

Not for me...they look really gross. I'd rather stick with the drinks I know that I like.

Oh, and when I got all the way through the slideshow I realized that they have the peach schnapps variation of a brain bleed (which is what we've always called them) on the list too!

I've seen those made entirely differently, actually - they're usually made with peach schnapps which tastes pretty good. The flavors go together a lot better then it would with lime, I think! It gets a very creamy, fruity flavor with the peach and sweet grenadine in it. I'm not big on shots anyway (too much of a lightweight!) but these are fairly tasty. I'd much rather a zombie cocktail ;]

aphill4, I bet it tastes really, really sweet. I fall somewhere in the middle. Too gruesome, and I can't drink it. But I can appreciate a little bit of eeriness.

That looks so creepy! I like it, but I think I would opt for one of the more appetizing Halloween cocktails listed. With a little grenadine, you can make any drink Halloween-y.

Question: How does this shot taste?? I'm extremely curious, it looks like it plays more to the show-y part of a shot rather than flavor. Lime and Bailey's? Could have some scary after-effects too.
