We’re all about easy Halloween cocktails and these purple gin and tonics are one of the easiest to make because they only consist of four easy ingredients: tonic water, acai powder, gin, and lime. The purple color comes from acai which is the ingredient that turns them purple! It’s actually good for you too!

They are a great signature Halloween cocktail to serve at a party, pumpkin carving evening, or Halloween movie night.

How To Make Purple Gin & Tonic

• In a cocktail shaker with ice add the gin, lime juice, and acai powder.

• Shake for 30 seconds with ice so the acai can turn the mixture purple. 

• Fill two small glasses with ice and strain the gin and lime mixture over the top.

• Top off with tonic water and garnish with a purple flower.

• If using dry ice, add a piece to the cocktail before serving.

Dry Ice for an Extra Spooky Cocktail

For the ghoulish smoking look, we used a chunk of dry ice. If I serve dry ice in a drink, I usually will serve it with a straw so you can be sure your guests won’t drink the ice.

The neat thing is, once the dry ice is placed in the drink, it immediately becomes warmer, creating the smoking effect.

Be careful and use the ice manufacturer’s directions when using dry ice. Never touch it with bare hands and always use gloves and tongs.

Recipe Tips

• Shake until the shaker is ice cold, so you know the ingredients are mixed.

• You can pre-shake the gin, lime, and acai mixture ahead of the party. Strain into a jar to serve later.

• If preparing ahead of time remember to put the ice in when you serve, so it doesn’t dilute the cocktail.

• If using dry ice, never touch it with your bare hands.
