I don’t know about you, but I love summer.

The sunshine, the BBQs, the pool days, the s’mores—it’s my season of joy.

And when you mix all that summer goodness with a little spooky fun?

I’m all in.

That’s why Summerween has totally stolen my Summer/Halloween-loving heart.

Not sure what this trending party idea is all about?

Well, it all started as a fun, fictional celebration on the show Gravity Falls, where the quirky town residents dress up in costumes, carve jack-o’-melons, and go trick-or-treating—in summer.

The idea quickly caught on with fans who wanted a second dose of Halloween magic without waiting around for October.

Because really, why should fall have all the fun?

Now, people everywhere are throwing a fun Summerween party—complete with eerie décor, candy-filled piñatas, haunted pool floats, and even carved melons and pineapples by the pool (yes, really).

It’s the perfect excuse to throw a party, get creative with costumes, and serve up some yummy Summerween party food under the summer sun.

So, if you’re planning your own Summerween party, keep reading—because I’ve rounded up some fang-tastic Summerween food to make your bash frightfully delicious!

Party Drinks

Creating a Summerween drink menu is a fun way to add spooky flair to your summer celebration!

Use bright, fruity flavors to keep it refreshing for warm weather, and don’t forget creepy garnishes—think gummy worms, dry ice for foggy effects, or rimmed glasses dipped in red syrup “blood.”

Offer a mix of kid-friendly and adult beverages so everyone can raise a spooky glass.

Summerween Cocktails

Summerween is the perfect excuse for silly, boozy drinks with a splash of spooky.

Here are a few adult beverage ideas to serve at your bash:

• Witches’ Watermelon Margarita is a fruity twist on a classic margarita, mixing fresh watermelon puree, tequila, lime juice, and a splash of triple sec. Serve it in a salt-rimmed glass with a gummy worm garnish for a spooky-cute touch.

• Bloody Blackberry Sangria gets its eerie color from blackberry juice and red wine, mixed with brandy and summer fruits like oranges and strawberries. Add a sprig of rosemary for a potion-like effect.

• Vampire’s Sunset is a hauntingly beautiful layered drink made with rum, orange juice, and grenadine. Drizzle red syrup down the sides of the glass for a “blood dripping” effect that looks wickedly cool.

• Zombie Mojito uses white rum, lime, mint, and soda water, but adds a shot of dark rum on top for a spooky float. Add green food coloring and serve with crushed ice for a creepy, swampy look.

• Corpse Reviver Poolside Punch is a Summerween version of the classic Corpse Reviver cocktail—combining gin, orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice. Top with sparkling water and serve chilled in a cauldron-style punch bowl for drama.

• Spiked Ghoul-Aid mixes vodka with grape or cherry Kool-Aid for a nostalgic, adult-only version of the classic drink. Serve in plastic potion bottles or mason jars with skull-shaped ice cubes.

• The Haunted Hurricane is a New Orleans–inspired hurricane mixing light and dark rum, passion fruit juice, orange juice, and grenadine. Serve it in tiki glasses with glow stick stirrers for that perfect eerie glow at night.

• Drunken Melon Monster blends Midori (melon liqueur), vodka, lemon-lime soda, and a squeeze of lime juice. Its bright green color makes it look like it was brewed in Frankenstein’s lab—perfect for a themed cocktail.

• Bewitched Blueberry Fizz muddles blueberries with lemon juice and mixes with gin and tonic water. Add edible glitter or shimmer powder to give it that enchanting, magical finish.

• Ghostly Piña Ghoulada is a tropical twist on the piña colada made with coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut. Add a splash of blue curaçao for a ghostly blue hue, and top with toasted coconut “graveyard dust.”

For serving alcoholic drinks, be sure to provide plenty of ice, fun spooky garnishes, and clearly label each cocktail so your guests can easily pick their favorite Summerween sips!

Non-Alcoholic Drink Ideas

Be sure to serve up lots of non-alcoholic drinks for party guests.
