This potent punch is perfect for any party or to mix up in a pitcher and store in the refrigerator. The recipe features five of the six base spirits and this makes it only for the strong-willed, non-driving drinker. Be sure to serve this over ice to dilute the drink just enough. You might also want to try Touchdown Tea.

This is not at all a shot for the faint of heart or people with sensitive taste buds. The mixture of Irish cream and tequila is definitely not a normal combination but if you are looking for a quick, potent novelty shot this shooter would be the one to try.

This is an interesting cocktail that is a great novelty for Halloween parties. The "Frog" is actually lime wheels that are only slightly blended with the other ingredients, creating the idea of an old witches brew with pieces and parts floating in it. Add a few berries, grapes or apple slices for the look of even more unknown creature bodies inside your brew. The trick is to avoid blending until smooth as you normally would, only enough to chop things up and mix them together a bit.

The Black Widow is Blavod vodka’s answer to a Cape Codder. This layered drink is very simple and the black vodka tops this eerie cocktail nicely. This is one of the recipes in which the brand of spirit is key, no other vodka will create the same effect.

This beautifully blush-colored Champagne cocktail is wonderful for toasting a newlywed couple at their wedding reception. It’s also very easy to make and serve to a larger party. As with any Champagne drink, pour the non-Champagne ingredients in to the glass first and top it with Champagne. Don’t stir the drink as it will cause quite a mess, besides, the bubbles do it for you.

The Midnight Martini is an interestingly simple cocktail that, when darker liqueurs are used, looks as dark as midnight. It does include a coffee liqueur (coffee brandy can also be used) which could keep you going to midnight if there’s any caffeine in the spirits. Try this one out with Van Gogh’s Espresso or Double Espresso Vodka and Kahlua, it’s a wonderful match. Midnight Martinis are also often served as a shooter, just shake, strain into a shot glass and go for it.
