About this Bloody Mary Shot recipe

If you’re looking for something beyond sweet shots and candy-colored cocktails, these Bloody Mary syringes are the best upgrade for Halloween lovers. They’re unexpected, perfect for spooky season and bound to impress your party guests.

You can use any Bloody Mary mix you like — homemade or store-bought — and whatever spirit suits your crowd. Vodka is the classic, but tequila, gin (my fave) or whiskey all make great versions too. For a non-alcoholic option, skip the vodka and fill the syringes with straight Bloody Mary mix.

Serve them on ice, pop them into a cocktail cup or go full mad scientist and have guests “inject” their drinks.

Tools & equipment

Making these Halloween Bloody Mary syringes couldn’t be simpler. You’ll need a mixing bowl * to combine the ingredients, plus a tray or dish to rest the filled syringes as they chill. You can also check out this washable syringe set if you are making a larger batch.

Food-grade plastic syringes are the key to this recipe. They’re reusable, easy to fill and make for a great party presentation.

Ingredients

You only need two things, really, to make this Halloween Bloody Mary recipe! But you’re always welcome to customize it how you like.

Start with your favorite store-bought mix or try our homemade Bloody Mary mix. Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy mix! You can, of course, dress it up with extra horseradish, black pepper, lemon juice, pickle juice or anything else you love to add!

Vodka is the traditional pairing for a Bloody Mary. For a twist, try gin, tequila or whiskey. You could even try this fun black vodka for a darker color “blood.”

To serve them without the syringes, you could rim shot glasses * with celery salt or Bloody Mary salt.

Instructions

In a bowl, combine Bloody Mary mix and vodka.

Use a syringe to draw up the mixture, filling each one with 1½ ounces of liquid. Remove air bubbles by placing the syringes angled down against a tray.

Chill in the fridge until serving.

Tips & tricks

  • Try to avoid air bubbles when drawing up the jello liquid. Tilt the syringe with the opening facing up, then — carefully — push the air out with the stopper. You may want to do this over a big mixing bowl * or the sink in case any liquid escapes.
  • Make it interactive. Offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic syringes and let guests “pick their poison.”
  • Serve cold. These taste best when chilled, so pop them in the fridge a few hours before your party.

Halloween Bloody Mary bar

These shot syringes make a great addition to a Halloween Bloody Mary Bar. Set out a tray of filled syringes alongside garnishes and mixers, so guests can build their perfect drink.

You can also create a spooky display by serving the syringes in a bowl of ice or a cauldron surrounded by dry ice for visual effect. Just keep the dry ice separate from the syringes — it’s for atmosphere only.

Check out our Bloody Mary bar guide for ideas on how to set up your spread and make it look extra festive.

Garnish ideas

Make your Bloody Mary shots party-ready with a cup of skewers and a few fun garnishes:

  • Pickles or cornichons
  • Olives or cocktail onions
  • Celery sticks or cucumber ribbons
  • Bacon strips
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Cheese cubes
  • Lemon or lime wedges
  • Olive eyeballs made with mozzarella balls and sliced olives

FAQ

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can fill and chill the syringes up to a day in advance. Keep them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Do I have to use vodka?

Not at all. Tequila, gin or whiskey all work for different flavor profiles.

How do I make them non-alcoholic?

Just skip the alcohol and fill with more Bloody Mary mix. It’s just as fun and great for a crowd with both kids and adults.
