RAGE QUIT: Movies, Television, Video Games and More: Easy Halloween Themed Drinks

Halloween and bad behavior seem to go hand in hand. It's the season to be a little naughty, and what would a Halloween party be without the booze.

I have a couple of go to's that are easy, fast (well... some of them), and delicious. I try to rate how strong each drink can be as well as difficulty. All of these drinks or easy but some are more time consuming than others, which can be annoying when you want to get back to the party. But if you're looking to impress your friends, here's some drinks you should consider making.

Liquid Hot Tamales

Sweet spicy and full of cinnamon

Drink Strength: 3 / 5
Drink Difficulty: 1 / 5

Ingredients
2 parts FireBall Whiskey
3 Parts Dr. Pepper
A splash or two of Amaretto
Ice
Hot Tamales Candy(optional)
Red sugar (optional)

This drink actually tastes just like the candy. And it only takes a second to make. Pour in the 2 parts over ice in a lowball glass with ice.

Or if you really want to get facny. Have them chilled and poured into a martini glass wwith a few hot tamales dropped in the bottom, more for look than taste.

If you want to get really, really, fancy you can put some red or orange sugar around the rim.

Bloody Brain/Alien Brain Shot

A very sweet shot, take the whole thing, don't sip it.

Drink Strength: 2 / 5
Drink Difficulty : 4 / 5

Ingredients
1 part Lime Juice
1 part Vodka
Splash of Irish Cream
3 - 4 drops of Grenadine

This one can be annoying because you have to be careful with the grenadine and Irish Cream if you want the right effect. Mix the lime and vodka juice and put it in a clear shot glass. Add it the Irish Cream slowly with a spoon or a straw. Idealy you want it to sit at the top and not mix with the drink. It should curdle and look like a tiny little brain. Then drop a few droplets of grenadine over on the top of it to give it that bloody look. You can add different color things to give it different looks Some add Blue Curacao to or Medori to give it that alien look.

Gently adding the Irish Cream so it doesn't mix is the worst part. You have to do it slowly and if lots of people want shots then this can become a whole ordeal.

Being a good host sucks sometimes....

Bubbly Witch's Brew

I had to steal this picture. Didn't have time to make this one

Drink Strength: 2/5 to 3/5 depending on how much alchohol you add
Drink Difficulty: 5/5

Ingredients
1 package lime jello
2 cups boiling water
3 cups chilled juice (Pineapple, or light colored cocktail juice)
1.5 cups of peeled grapes
1 bottle of champagne
2 cups vodka or rum or both
2 shots of 151 or another overproof rum.
Dry Ice

This is an old classic. Basically green jungle juice and some dry ice. Nothing too special. Personally I like to add peeled grapes because they really seem like eyeballs. First do the Jello in a bowl. Boil the water and add the mix. After that's done you can add the juice, grapes and your choice of liquor. The Jello will give it the green color you want. It also makes it thicker in consistency so it bubbles up more. Not to long before the party pour in the whole bottle of champagne. Then as people begin to arrive break off bits of the dry ice and stick them into the bowl. For best results with the dry ice the drink shouldn't be ice cold. It will mist quicker if the stuff is only cool or even room temperature. And don't stick in too large a piece as it can actually freeze your drink instead of misting.

If you run into trouble with the mist I always advise adding some more liquor from off the shelf. The warmth of if should cause the dry ice to mist again.

This one take some time so be sure to start preparing it a good hour or so before people start coming over.

The Devil's Backbone

Root Beer with a nice smokey oak flavor. A you'll have to practice to get the right levels

Drink Strength 3.5/5
Drink Difficulty 1/5

Ingredients
Ice
4 parts root beer
1 part 151 overproof Rum

151 is some strong shit. So strong I thought it only worked in really large drinks because it's has such a strong bite. However I've found that root beer is so sugary and has such a strong taste that it can actually allow the flavor of the 151 but it masks the bite of it. A fact that makes this drink really really dangerous. It's pretty easy to have a few pretty quickly, and that can get you mighty drunk very fast. So take it easy with these.
