When Halloween rolls around, the rules of the night bend—and so do the drinks. Enter Spooktacular LLIIT by Social, a wickedly inventive twist on the classic Long Island iced tea that’s designed to raise spirits—quite literally. With its blood-red hue, eerie shimmer, and a half-cut doll perched on top, this cocktail isn’t just a drink — it’s a haunting experience in a glass.
Picture this: the bass drops at your Halloween bash, fog machines hiss, and the dim light catches the shimmer of edible glitter swirling in your glass like captured starlight. Then comes the first sip—gin meets cranberry juice in a sweet-tart rush, grenadine drips through like liquid rubies, and a splash of lime adds sharpness. The soda top-up keeps it lively, while the eerie garnish reminds you this night isn’t about subtlety—it’s about spectacle.
Perfect for costume parties, bar menus, or a dramatic house soirée, Spooktacular LLIIT is Social’s nod to the season of tricks, treats, and intoxicating fun. Equal parts eerie and elegant, it’s the drink that ensures your Halloween night stays deliciously unforgettable.

Note:
  • Double the ingredients when cooking for more people to ensure everyone gets a fluffy stack.
  • Swap out eggs for mashed bananas, yogurt, or flaxseed mix if you're vegetarian or allergic to eggs.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra soft and airy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to get fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
  • Add vanilla extract or cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or honey for a delicious and healthy twist.
