History & Origin

The Drunk Ghost is a social-media-era Halloween drink whose milky white color is the whole joke. Elite Daily's roundup of TikTok and YouTube Halloween cocktails credited creator @liv.yah with a ghost-white mix of rum, vodka, coconut cream and lemon-lime soda, listed without measurements. The measured version that recipe sites agree on uses coconut rum and vanilla vodka in a 2:1 split with an equal pour of coconut cream and a long soda top; it appears on Shake Drink Repeat, MyBartender and Shookd, and was demonstrated on Texas station KBTX in October 2026. Many hosts draw a ghost face on the glass with an edible marker before pouring.
