Host A Haute Halloween Cocktail Party. Recipes & More!


Halloween can be such fun.  It's been a minute since I have actually had a Halloween party, but I still remember how. This year, let's put together an elevated event with a wee haunting vibe, without going overboard. It's almost the witching hour, but no worries, I've done the shopping and prepping for you.

Cheesy Miso Caramelized Corn and Pineapple Chile Dip
I am not much of a dip person, mainly because of the carbs in the crackers. The homemade wontons used for this dip look like they are worth the splurge. The whole thing just sounds delish.
Half Baked Harvest


Fiery Eyeball
Now this will get the party started! Make sure you haven't had one yourself before lighting.

Stylish in silver plated brass, these are a spook-tacular addition to Halloween spirits.

Black and gold sparkles and rhinestones add glam to your ghoulish gala.  Tie these on the chandelier or use them as place Cards.

Root Beer Float Marshmallows
It's always nice to offer a non-alcoholic option. These are both a cocktail and a darling dessert.
Sprinkle Bakes


Cheesy Artichoke Pumpkin Dip
Elevate your artichoke dip with the help of a pumpkin! It's always the fave dip at a party, now it becomes simply irresistible.
Heather Christo


Sparkling Apple Cider Sangria
A pitcher cocktail is always a good idea, and so easy to stir up for a party. This recipe calls for sparkling wine and cognac. Now that's a delicious duo!

Lacey Pumpkin
I just love this idea. Talk about elevating your average orange gourd!


The Black Martini
Made with Black Sambuca, Vodka and Espresso. Fun idea to add the sign to the presentation.
