10 Halloween-themed drinks to quench your thirst this year

Halloween is just around the corner, which means we’re already steadily drinking pumpkin spice lattes every day and watching horror movies. 

There’s no shortage of Halloween-themed foods on store shelves and restaurant menus, but sometimes people forget about the variety of drinks you can buy outside of the iconic PSL.

We’ve gathered up 10 Halloween-themed drinks you should try this fall season. You can get some at home and some at restaurants, but they’re all equally delicious. 

Pumpkin cold brew at Dunkin’

If you’re a diehard Dunkin’ fan, you already know about this clutch menu item. The pumpkin cold brew is downright delicious, and dare we say it’s better than a pumpkin spice latte. It’s refreshing, full of flavor and you can add whatever creamer you want to make it even better. Dunkin’ has no shortage of pumpkin-flavored drinks however you like them, so it’s definitely a must-stop if even just for the seasonal blink-182 pun

Pumking whiskey from Southern Tier

You can’t celebrate Halloween this year without this. Southern Tier is known for their seasonal Pumking imperial pumpkin ale, but now they’ve added a pumpkin whiskey that‘s just to-die-for. Whether you drink it straight or mix up a cocktail, you’re going to love it either way. You can order it online or find it in stores. 

Screaming Red Zombie at Red Robin

If you’re craving a burger, you might as well stop by Red Robin and wash it down with this devilishly delicious drink. This dine-in only cocktail contains rum, sour mix, orange juice and grenadine, and it looks just as creepy as it sounds. 

Chocolate pumpkin frappe from Starbucks

While this isn’t on the original menu, this secret menu item just makes a slight adjustment to StarbucksPumpkin Spice Crème Frappuccino, so you don’t have to be embarrassed about asking. You just add mocha drizzle in the cup and pumpkin sauce drizzle on top, per Instagram user @technopenguin.

Sparkling caramel apple cider from Aldi

If you’re looking for something totally different, check out this caramel apple sparkling cider at Aldi grocery stores. It’s also available in a pumpkin flavor. You can drink it straight-up or use it in a cocktail or mocktail for an added fall flavor punch. 

Swiss Miss Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

If you’re not a coffee or a tea person, try adding this Swiss Miss pumpkin spice hot chocolate to your day. It’s a bit different than your usual hot chocolate but in the best way possible.

Rotten Apple Punch at Disney theme parks

Disney always rolls out a Halloween-themed menu that makes us want to buy a ticket to the park immediately. And while 2020 is definitely strange, this year is no different. This punch features Angry Orchard hard cider, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, Monin apple syrup, Sprite and plenty of candy for a cinnamon apple bomb that you’ll definitely be feeling after a few sips.
