Mesmerizing Halloween cocktails with theatrical flair
Calling all ghouls and goblins! Your crypt is gonna be the hottest Halloween hangout in town with these interactive drinks that steal the Halloween show. Color changes, gory garnishes, black sips and party punches are sure to be a graveyard smash.
Zombie Apocalypse
When the un-dead are banging at the door this Halloween, a color-changing wine slushie is just the thing to keep the horror at bay. This one starts off neon green and then gets a black raspeberry top-fade when your let your guests finish it off with a shot of Chambord liqueur, all under a bloody good red sugar rim garnished with gummy eyeballs.

Black Magic Margarita
Dive deep into the darkness with a black margarita. Fearlessly add the earthy sweetness of Duplin Blackberry wine, a dash of raspberry liqueur and heart-of-darkness molasses for a touch of unusual sweetness. Classic lime and white tequila round out this boo-tiful drink. Garnish it with a little triangle of lime, blood orange and/or fresh blackberries. This drink is so creepy thanks to activated charcoal, which you can find in the vitamin and supplement sections of retailers such as Target and Walmart. Just two capsules is all you need to color the crusty salt rim and the drink itself. Better yet, give everyone their own shaker full of all the ingredients except the activated charcoal and let them concoct the formula themselves. Check out the video.
Werewolf Transformation Jell-O Shots
Served up in a proper mad-scientist syringes, Werewolf Transformation Jell-O Shots are muscadine wine marvels that'll have your tastebuds howling for more. Just one of these Black River Red and vodka Jell-O shots, and you'll be feeling as lively as a hound dog on a chase! Or our resident werewolf at Duplin. Don't miss the video on our socials!
Dracula's Delight
In the dark of a Halloween night party, when everyone is looking for a shockingly good time, serve this spicy red wine and pomegranate cocktail in a juice pouch that will make everyone look twice. We found Halloween novelty bags marked with blood types like O, B and AB online and then filled them with this frighteningly fabulous cocktail aptly named Dracula's Delight (see how we filled the juice pouches on our TikTok and Instagram). We love it with Duplin Muscadine Moscato Red, but try it with your favorite Duplin sweet red wine.
Make it a Boo-tiful Night
Who says Halloween can't be a little bit elegant? Maybe it's a chic goth dinner party. Or a fancy dress costume party. However you glamorize Halloween, the Boo-tiful Night fizzy cocktail made with classy Duplin Sweet Lily and garnished with a cute little marshmallow ghost takes your gathering to a stylish level.
