Scary Caesar Cocktails
The Caesar cocktail is a Canadian favourite any time of the year, but we decided to give it a frightful twist for Halloween. Scary Caesar Cocktail’s are similar to Bloody Mary’s, using Clamato juice in place of tomato, also just like a Bloody Mary, you can add your favourite flavours and garnishes to suit your taste. We used cocktail onions to create creepy Halloween eyeballs! We hope you enjoy this Halloween drink idea this season!

This terrifying recipe has a spicy kick thanks to a mix of horseradish and hot sauce, and the onion eyeball stir stick ups the flavour and also the scare factor! But black vodka is the key to the Halloween vibe of this cocktail. There are a few brands of black vodka our there, and you should be able to find one at your local liquor store – especially after fall starts.
