Combine 75ml gin
and 15ml dry
vermouth in a
cocktail shaker and
pour into a martini
glass. Halve a
pickled onion and
make a small hole
at the front. Place
half a stuffed
olive in the hole.
Garnish your
martini with
two “eyeballs”.Decorate a glass
with black sugar.
Combine 60ml
dark rum and the
juice of one lime
into a cocktail
shaker with ice and
shake well. Strain
into your glass
and top up with
some ginger beer.
Drop in a plastic
spider to give your
guests a scare.Garnish your
glass with black
decorating sugar.
(If you can’t get
your hands on
black, mix raw
sugar with red and
blue food colouring- it’s close enough.)
Combine 45ml
vodka and cherry
juice in a cocktail
shaker and pour
into the glass.
Fill test tubes with
a shot (the size is
up to you) of vodka
mixed with some
cranberry juice.
Bonus points if you
add some red food
dye or blood
orange juice to
give the illusion
of clotting. Shots!
Shots! Shots!
(But... er... drink
them responsibly.)EYEBALL

APPLE
BOBBING
Fill up a large bowl
with alcoholic punch and
place numbered apples
in. Party guests can then
bob for apples. Whichever
number is carved into the
apple the guest picks up,
they must take that many
shots (or gulps of their
drink, if they’d rather).TRICK OR
TREAT
Label six non-see-
through cups with
numbers one to six. Place
a “trick” shot in three of
the cups and a “treat”
shot in the remaining
three. Each player must
roll the dice and drink
their shot, not knowing
whether they will be
facing straight vodka/
tequila or fruit juice.SCARY
MOVIE
DRINKING
GAME
Select your fave scary
movie and write down
some drinking rules. We
suggest you take a sip
anytime someone dies,
menacing music plays or
you see the killer. You can
set it up to drink as often
or as little as you like.Spike your drink with a little spookiness...
PINT-SIZED
PUMPKINS
If you’re looking for
a snack to serve this
Halloween that won’t
derail the diet, look
no further than these
pumpkin (er, mandarine)
treats. Simply peel a
mandarine and pop
a green pipe cleaner
stem in the middle.JACK-O-
BURGERS
Who doesn’t love a
burger – especially of
the themed variety?
Whip up some beef
patties (mince, egg,
breadcrumbs, onion
and parsley) and place
them on open burger
buns. Cut creepy faces
into cheese slices,
and devour! #PHOTOGRAPHY BY PABLO MARTIN/BAUER. THINKSTOCK156 COSMOPOLITAN.com.au TO SUBSCRIBE CALL 136 116
