Spooky Sips: Charleston’s Best Halloween Cocktails!

Charleston is getting into the spooky spirit this October, and if you’re a lover of all things Halloween, you’re in for a treat! With Halloween just around the corner, the city is buzzing with exciting cocktails and festive pop-ups designed to get you into the ghoulish mood. So, if you’re planning a night out, why not sip on something special? From eerie sips to chillingly delicious bites, let’s dive into what Charleston has to offer this season!

Bar Mash: A Perfect Monster Mash!

First up, we visited Bar Mash, which has been transformed into a whimsical wonderland called “Monster Mash.” As you step inside, you’re welcomed by a décor that screams Halloween, featuring ripped cloth, flickering lights, and even a creepy clown lurking in the corner. It sets quite the atmosphere for an unforgettable night!

Now, let’s talk cocktails! One of the standout drinks is the S-Cream, served in a purple mug that’s straight out of a horror flick. This delightful concoction is a creamy mix of rum, vanilla, cream soda reduction, and topped with a splash of red food coloring for that chilling effect. Yum!

If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Creature from the Green Lagoon, a playful drink with a fruit-based eyeball garnish. It combines tequila, Midori, lemon, passion fruit, and coco orgeat, making it a refreshing option to sip on. And don’t skip the It Float, which comes adorned with a clown nose and a blood-splattered straw – it’s as much fun to look at as it is to drink!

Prohibition: Where Beetlejuice Comes to Life!

Next up is Prohibition, where the beloved film Beetlejuice! takes center stage in a pop-up that kicks off on October 24. Sneak a peek at the spook-tacular setup that features characters from the movie and fun Halloween-themed drinks! The highlight of the menu is the Sandworm Slush, a chilling blend of bourbon, lime, and ginger beer, garnished with gummy worms – perfect for the kid in all of us.

Another must-try is the Beetlejuice cocktail – a delightful mix containing vodka, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and a dash of nutmeg. Drinking it will make you feel like you’re celebrating Halloween in a tropical paradise – how fun is that? With cocktails that are as tasty as they are eerily enticing, Prohibition will surely be a hit this Halloween.

Co-Op: A Nightmare on Cannon Street!

And let’s not forget about the ever-festive Co-Op. From the moment you approach it, you’re greeted by a pink Jeep loaded with skeletons! The spooky entrance sets the tone for what you’ll find inside: a decor filled with witch hats, cobwebs, and haunting imagery that creates a truly immersive experience. While sipping on cocktails like Black Magic and Poison Apple Punch, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a haunted house, but in the best way possible! The Black Magic cocktail is particularly enchanting with its vodka and glittery touch, making every sip feel like a spell!
