Where to Get Halloween Cocktails in Louisville
βThe Goblet of Fireβ at The 3 Broomsticks
A seasonal pop-up in residence at The Limbo Tiki Bar through October 31, The 3 Broomsticks offers an atmosphere that is perfect for making the most of the final days of spooky season. Along with plenty of witchy decor, youβll find a selection of themed cocktails, including The Goblet of Fire, a flaming tiki cocktail made with bourbon cider, cinnamon, Hellfire bitters, and a shot of house-made cinnamon whiskey on the side. Not for the faint of heart.

βThe Blood Moonβ at The Hub
If youβre looking for something a bit more subtle, pay a visit to The Hub and order from their thoughtfully-designed seasonal cocktail menu. Youβll find cozy selections like the Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini and the Autumn Sweater made with apple brandy, maple, and cinnamon β but if youβre partial to a more complex flavor profile, go with The Blood Moon, pictured here. Itβs made with gin, blood orange juice, black pepper ginger syrup, St. Germain, and lemon.

The βRed Bellsβ at Darlingβs
Carefully-crafted drinks designed to delight all of your senses and served in a dimly lit Art Nouveau cocktail bar β¦ sounds like a solid way to spend some time after sunset on Halloween weekend, if you ask us. At Darlingβs, try the Red Bells. The description itself sounds like a page from a spellbook: βAssorted apple and pear brandys from here and there, with some oxidized French red wines, stirred up with fresh fruit and mulling spices. And milk. But itβs all clarified, so just trust us. Itβs velvety smooth and seasonally appropriate.β

Absolutely any of the seasonal cocktails at Trouble Bar β¦
Trouble Bar is known for its impressive selection of curated whiskey flights, along with an always-clever and delicious cocktail lineup. This time of year, theyβre living up to their reputation with seasonal cocktails like the Harvest Moon (available as a single-serving or pitcher), featuring bourbon, black obsidian-infused five-spice honey syrup, and floral bitters. You read that right β obsidian! Quite a few of their cocktails include crystal infusion. In fact, the fall cocktail menu is printed with a notice: βEach of the cocktails on our menu this season is a small spell for harvesting everyday abundance for your love, luck, wellness & wisdom, brought to you with intention by our Potions Master Felicia and her Assistant Potions Master Bree.β How cool is that?
