What are you pouring?
Go straight to the kind of drink you have in mind.
For the punch bowl
A shared pour for the middle of the table.

Cherry punch with fangs
A cherry-red pitcher and a few candy fangs make a convincing center for a Halloween drink table. This chilled punch combines cherry juice with orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and chili. Choose it when the spice ingredients appeal as much as the color.
Fresh and fruity
Berry and bay, cucumber and mint, or a smooth autumn blend.

Blackberry & bay lemonade
Bay is the small surprise in this blackberry-and-lemon drink. A bay infusion joins the fruit, while sparkling water supplies the fizz.
The optional lychee-and-green-olive eyeball is a pale, peculiar detail at the rim. One small garnish gives the glass its Halloween character.
Cucumber & kiwi fizz
Cucumber, kiwi, mint and lime make this the fresh green corner of the table. Lemon-lime soda supplies the bubbles, while the drink sits over ice. A cucumber skull keeps the Halloween detail connected to an ingredient already in the glass.
Pumpkin & pear
The pumpkin is in the drink, as well as the face on the glass. Pear, orange juice and ginger join it in a smooth autumn blend, without a creamy milkshake base.
A black-icing jack-o'-lantern face reads clearly against the opaque orange drink. I would keep that simple face as the glass's only decoration.
Playful glasses
Two drinks with more to them than a funny face.

The jellied eyeball
Wobbly pieces of set lime jelly sit among the apple-and-pear juice and lemonade, making this deliberately different from a smooth drink. The lychee eyeball has a cherry center and a raisin pupil. It earns its slightly gross joke through the drink's texture as well as its appearance.
Vanilla ghost milkshakes
Chocolate eyes and a mouth show through the clear glass, with vanilla ice cream and milk forming the pale ghost behind them. Whipped cream finishes the top. This is where I would let a drink take the dessert's place on the table.
The face matters more than elaborate glassware: it sits on the inside, where the milkshake makes its expression visible.
A warm finish
For the part of the party that calls for a mug.

Mulled apple juice
A warm mug changes the pace after the chilled and frozen drinks. Here, apple juice meets orange peel, cinnamon and cloves; the base is juice, with no wine or hard cider.

quick answers
Before you set the table
Do these recipes contain alcohol?
The versions featured here use no alcoholic ingredients. The cherry punch and cucumber-kiwi pages also offer optional spirits; those additions are excluded here.
Do I need novelty glassware?
Clear glasses show the chocolate ghost faces, pumpkin faces and jelly pieces. The cucumber skull is a garnish. None of those details depends on a skeleton-shaped glass.
Which drink works as dessert?
The vanilla ghost milkshake is the dessert choice, with ice cream, milk and whipped cream. It makes sense as its own serving moment after a fruit-based party drink.
