Halloween makes me think of fog....you could try dry ice rootbeer. It's easy to make at home and takes delicious. You could always add some kind of liqour to it.
Yeah, I would love cider with spiced rum or an apple liqueur at a halloween/fall wedding! We served these hot at a fall bridal shower I helped with last year and they were a huge hit.
what about a screwdriver made with black vodka, it can be layerd and looks orange and black...we were thinking about making these for our oct wedding
a Sangria might work well, specially if it has some nutmeg. That way you get the dark red tone, which is spooky and some fall flavor. YUM!
I just found a DELICIOUS signature cocktail for my fall wedding made with black cherry juice, and when I made it, although flavor was deliciousio, everyone said it looked like blood and too halloweeny! SO perfect for you haha:
What You Need

@MissDallasCowboy: thst looks perfect!
@Monkeygirl: duh, why didn't I think of that!
I am going to Google town re: warm spiked cider drinks. FH is thinking something warm too but now that I see the above recipe or the Pumpkin Martini....mmmmmmm
Yeah, I'm thinking something apple related. Apple martini or apple cider. Cranberry seems fall, so that might work as well. Pupkin pie shots?
Caramel Apples come to mind. I have no idea how you would go about that concoction.
Seattle is the coffee capital so an espresso bar would be great. They should have any number of coffee catering companies in that area.
Fall definitely calls for hot spiced cider, no alcohol necessary for that either. Some people may like rum added.
Be aware that any people do not like vodka so martinis may or may not appeal to your guests. You know what your guests like and will drink, but other people do not and only know what works for their own crowds.
Pumpkin Martinis are AMAZING. I served them at a party at my house last fall and even those who don't like vodka or martinis drank them. They taste better than pumpkin pie. I even rimmed the glasses with fat free cool whip, which made them look even more fancy and festive.
Damn, I wish I had one right now! ;P
@Monkeygirl, do you have a recipe? Those sound like they'd be good, even though I'm a fan of martinis, I do love pumpkin pie with cool whip. Other pumpkin martini recipes that you find, most people say they don't taste like pumpkin at all.
One of my all time favorite fall beers is Amber Woodchuck. I know that doesn't help at all with your cocktail question, but maybe you could do 2 specialty drinks: The Amber Woodchuck and a fancy spiced rum in hot cider mix? Mmm...Now I really want to go buy both of those drinks!
I thought apple cider, but now I am digging the idea of a pumpkin martini. I've never had one, but mmm . . . does that sound good!
@Monkeygirl: I second pumpkin martinis! We always make them at Halloween. I can't remember which recipe we've used, but we've done it with fresh pumpkin puree as well as canned pumpkin (not pumpkin liqueur). I think there's also a little bit of citrus in it to give it some kick.
Apple pie martinis are another good one.
A Dark and Stormy? Super tasty, I like it best when made with dark rum. It has ginger beer in it and ginger is a good fall spice.
We're having hard cider at our wedding--that might be a good addition for you too!
Ask and ye shall receive!
Yummy Pumpkin Pie Martini
Combine ingredients in shaker w/ ice. Shake vigorously. Flip empty martini glass over and dip rim of glass into Cool Whip. Turn glass right side up, strain drink into martini glass. Garnish and serve. Enjoy! 
I'm giving another nod for the pumpkin martini's. Yummy!!! I ordered one for the first time while on my honeymoon last year and was in love! They coated the rim with sugar as you can see.
Jackie-O Cost Plus has a plethera of Halloween themed wines if you want to check them out.
You could put a bottle at each table but some people may fight over them.
ooooooooooooooo that sounds so good Monkeygirl! OP - Do that!!
Haha, oh bees, Monkeygirl is obsessed with all things pumpkin. If it tastes like pumpkin, I'm all over it. Thankfully I have a new hubby who makes me pumpkin martinis whenever the mood strikes! Love him! :)
Found one in Everyday Food when it came in the mail.
Spooky Rum Cooler
Spread black sanding sugar on a saucer. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass, then dip in sugar to coat. Add ice to glass. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and add 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 ounce light rum, 3 tablespoons simple syrup, and 1/4 cup 100% pomegranate juice. Shake 30 seconds. Strain into glass, leaving space at top. Gently pour in 1 ounce dark rum so it floats on top.
@nyebride: THIS IS THE DRINK we're using, LOL thank you so much. FH loves it, we tried it out at home, YYYAAAAAYYYYYYY

I am totally stumped. I was thinking we would do a beer and a cocktail but FH doesn't want to do that. I was thinking a his/hers type thing. We are having an open bar, FH thinks its best to do 1 cocktail.
I love fresh crisp drinks and well...those aren't really the types of drinks for Seattle at the end of October.
Soooo - - What signature cocktail drinks do you suggest for a Halloween wedding in Seattle (think 50's and rainy..) THX
