This is the perfect time of year to brew up some horror movie cocktails, which is exactly why I whipped up this Pumpkinhead movie cocktail recipe. It’s perfect for Halloween movie night or any of your Fall and harvest celebrations.

Pumpkinhead cocktail

I found the Pumpkinhead recipe in a fabulous creepy new book I was sent for review called Let’s Get Monster Smashed Horror Movie Drinks for a Killer Time by Jon Chaiet & Marc Chaiet. Inside are 55 recipes for gelatin, punches, shots, drinks and non-alcoholic beverages that pay homage to the classic pulp horror movies from the 80’s and 90’s.

Each of the ghastly horror movie drink recipes comes with a suggestion for a specific horror movie you might want to watch as you enjoy your drink. You may find yourself discovering some classic horror films you’ve never seen or haven’t watched in years. There are some great suggestions in the book.

Serve one or several at an upcoming Halloween party, fall get-together, movie viewing or just for some classic horror film throwback fun.

Monster Smashed book

The spices used to make the Pumpkinhead movie cocktails are earthy and warm, but the beverage is served over ice, so it’s very refreshing. Although you could add spirits to it (yes, please,) the recipe is non-alcoholic so it works for any age.

Ingredients for Pumpkinhead Movie Horror Movie Cocktail

  • ginger beer
  • lemon juice
  • pumpkin puree
  • milk
  • cinnamon
  • ginger
  • allspice
  • nutmeg
  • cloves

If you love ginger beer, you’ll probably love the kick it gives to the Pumpkinhead cocktail. I know I do!

The layering comes from whipping up a bubbling froth of foam for the top. Creepy!

All you need to go along with the Pumpkinhead movie cocktail is the Pumpkin Head movie itself!
