Three Spooky Cocktails to Shake up This Halloween

Try these sinister sips straight from the Black Lagoon pop-up.

This Halloween season, the Black Lagoon Pop-Up is taking over bars across Canada — transforming them into gothic, candlelit lairs complete with eerie décor, haunting playlists, and theatrically dark cocktails. Running until October 31, the immersive event invites guests to toast the spooky season in style.

If you can’t make it to the bar before it vanishes back into the depths, recreate the magic at home with three of the Black Lagoon’s signature cocktails below. We’ve listed the ingredients — and linked to their how-to videos on social media so you can mix up your own Halloween spirits.
