If you’re looking for a special, spooky Halloween cocktail, try our festive purple gin and tonics! These are made with a special ingredient to give them a bright spooky color and it even adds a little nutrients! Read below to see how we make this fun cocktail! They’re simple to make and they’re colored with natural ingredients too!

purple gin and tonics

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. To give it a little spookiness we added acai which is the ingredient that turns them purple! It’s actually good for you too!

The Perfect Halloween Cocktail For A Party

Purple Gin and Tonics would be a great signature Halloween cocktail to serve at a party, pumpkin carving evening or Halloween movie night.

Depending on the size of your cocktail shaker (I suggest having a large one on hand), you can pre-shake and make the gin, lime and acai mixture and strain it into a jar to serve later.

The purple coloring we added is açaí powder and it turns the Gin and Tonic the most gorgeous shade of purple!

You just add it to the lime juice and gin in a cocktail shaker and shake it for 30 seconds with ice.

It works beautifully and leaves small specks of purple throughout the cocktail, adding to the spookiness!

You can’t taste the açaí, but the good thing is the vitamins from the powder are still present in the cocktail. Cheers to that!

Make Your Halloween Cocktail Extra Spooky!

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

Tips For Making Our Halloween Gin & Tonic

  • 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.
