Gone are the days when Halloween was just about the kiddos, folks. We, adults, deserve to have some Halloween fun too. Don’t you agree with me? I know you do!

While the kids are enjoying their mountains worth of Halloween candy, you should definitely be making one of these Halloween-inspired martinis. My Halloween cocktail is made with vodka and Midori melon liqueur. The sweet and tart flavors come from lemon juice and simple syrup. And you can’t forget the maraschino cherry garnish!

Halloween Midori Martini

The reason I chose to classify this Midori martini as a Halloween cocktail recipe is simple: the electric green color! It kind of reminded me of Slimer. You remember him from the movie, Ghostbusters, don’t you? “Who are you going to call? GHOSTBUSTERS!”

To make these Midori martinis extra Halloweeny, if that’s even a word, I found some adorable Halloween food picks on Amazon. They were perfect for skewering my jumbo maraschino cherries.

And for a little more spookiness, I added a spider ring to the rim of the glass. I know it’s extra but I’m all about being extra these days!

What are some things you should consider when making these Halloween Midori Martinis?

Let’s start with the vodka. You want to use a really good vodka anytime you’re making a martini. Why? Because vodka is the star of the show in any martini! You’ll really taste the flavor of the vodka you add to your cocktail so it’s important to pick one that is smooth and well made.

I chose to use Grey Goose for my Midori martini. Some other well made vodkas are Ketel One, Belvedere, or even Titos. Just do yourself a favor and don’t go cheap here.

The other liquor being used in this Halloween cocktail recipe is Midori. Midori is a delicious melon-flavored liqueur. You’ll get a wonderful melon after taste from this martini recipe. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness too. It’s just enough without being overkill.

To sweeten our Halloween martini cocktail a little more, you’ll be making a simple syrup. You can actually buy simple syrup at the liquor store if you wanted to, but it’s only two ingredients and so easy to whip together.

To make a simple syrup, you put equal parts sugar to water in a saucepan and heat it up over medium heat until the sugar dissolves in the water. I used one cup each of sugar and water and then transferred the simple syrup into a container to store. It will last a few weeks in the refrigerator.

Once you see how easy it is to make your own simple syrup, you’ll want to head over to my strawberry or mango margarita recipes and see how you can infuse your syrups with different fruits. Spoiler alert: you’ll only need to add one additional item to your syrup to achieve this!

My final piece of advice when it comes to making the perfect Halloween martini is to make sure your ingredients are super duper cold. You can achieve this by chilling all your ingredients ahead if time permits. If that’s not possible, make sure you shake, shake, shake your martini in ice for a good minute. You want that bad boy ice cold, my friend!

Halloween Midori Martini

1 ounce or 2 tablespoons of vodka, 1 ounce or 2 tablespoons of Midori liqueur, 1 ounce or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 ounce or 1 tablespoon of simple syrup, maraschino cherries for garnish

ingredients for Midori Martini

Begin by filling a cocktail shaker with ice.

Pour in your ½ ounce of simple syrup into your cocktail shaker. For me, this was the perfect amount of sweetness for the martini. The amount of sweetness is always adjustable though. Feel free to start at ¼ of an ounce of simple syrup and work your way up until you reach your desired sweetness level.

Last, add in your lemon juice. Remember it’s 1 ounce or 2 tablespoons of this as well.

Give your martini a really good shake to ensure all your ingredients are chilled completely.

Carefully, strain your cocktail into a martini glass.

Grab one of your adorable Halloween picks and add a couple of maraschino cherries to it.

If you want your Halloween pick to stand up like mine did in the photo, make sure that the actual end of the pick isn’t sticking out the bottom of the last cherry. You want to stick the Halloween skewer through and stop just before it pops out the end.

I’m just so obsessed with the way these fun Halloween cocktails turned out. Aren’t they just the cutest Halloween Midori martini cocktails you’ve ever seen? Raise your hand if you and your “Boo” will be drinking these on Halloween this year?!

    This looks SO yummy and so festive because it looks like candy corn! I’m a vodka girl, so this is right up my alley. Tito’s is always our vodka of choice, but I love me some Grey Goose, too! My drink of choice when we went out in college was Grey Goose and Red Bull… def wouldn’t touch the Red Bull now though. Lol.

      The college days…lol!! I do remember drinking a few Midori Sours during my college days so maybe this is kind of a throwback cocktail for me too. Happy Friday, Lindsay! 🧡

Our kitchen got a little extra love in the form of some Valentine’s Day dish towels and pretty pink flowers. Simple, cheap, and definitely worth the effort to add a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your kitchen space.💗❤️💗❤️
.
On a different note, what’s for dinner in your house tonight? I’m racking my brain trying to think of something. Help!!🤣

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰
.
Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

You know how much I love you all, right?! Enough to embarrass the heck out of myself in a SPORTS BRA in my stories for you. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Many of you wanted a review and try-on of my recent Amazon workout purchase so that’s what I did for ya...very awkwardly.🤣

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰
