Halloween 2025
Halloween drinks ideas 2025
Every October, the same question rises from the crypt: What should we be drinking for Halloween? This year, Master of Malt’s Halloween 2025 collection has the answer. No gimmicks, no glitter, just serious spirits that know how to play in the dark.
Our theme this year is simple: unmask the boldest bottles. From Smokehead’s fiery peat and Dead Man’s Fingers’ spiced swagger to the earthy mystique of Los Siete Misterios Mezcal, we’re shining a light on spirits that embrace their darker side.
Our Halloween 2025 range spans smoky mezcal, spiced rum, rich liqueurs, and even vodka so pure it’s practically supernatural. Highlights also include the Spooky Spirits 6 Dram Tasting Set, ideal for a quick fright flight.
This Halloween, skip the fake blood and lean into something real. If that doesn’t impress you, how about the fact that we haven’t even used the word “spooktacular” once. Are you proud?
No Tricks. Just Exceptional Spirits.

Tasting notes
Smokehead Unfiltered
Smokehead Unfiltered is a whisky that wears its fire on its sleeve. Rather than hiding behind polishing or chill-filtration, this dram arrives bold, raw and full of character. With peat smoke as its backbone, it screams charred oak, sea air and embers. This is a wild dram that feels like you’ve stumbled into a bonfire circle under a stormy sky.
Smokehead Skull Sour Cocktail
This whisky cocktail is as smoky and mysterious as a night in a haunted forest, with a tart twist that’ll send shivers down your spine. Made with bold Smokehead Whisky, it’s for those brave enough to venture into the unknown. Raise your glass and let the spirits take over!

12.5ml Demerara syrup

Crystal Head Vodka
From Dan Aykroyd (yes, that one), Crystal Head Vodka comes in a skull-shaped bottle that looks like it was made for Halloween. But think it’s all theatrics, inside is a crisp, clean spirit filtered through quartz crystals. Smooth enough to sip neat, striking enough to haunt any backbar.
Crystal Head Martini
Make the meanest Martini with a ghoulish vodka bottle and red food colouring. Anyone can create this cocktail but it’s delicious and it delivers all the thrills you want this spooky season.

Dead Man’s Fingers - Golden Spiced
Dead Man’s Fingers Golden Spice is rum with swagger. Infused with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, it’s a golden spirit with both sweetness and bite. In the Halloween spirit, think of it as haunted treasure: tropical heat meets ghostly whispers in every sip.
Devil's Mojito
Even the undead appreciate mint and lime, but this Mojito adds a devilish twist. Golden Spice rum brings depth, spice, and a whisper of danger to one of your favourite classic cocktails.

Los Siete Misterios Doba-Yej
An intensely smoky mezcal from Oaxaca, Doba-Yej combines ancestral pine smoke with vegetal whispers and mineral depth. For Halloween, imagine sipping moonlit embers, dried agave, and whispers of charcoal. It’s a spirit that vanishes like mist, leaving memories of fire behind.
