WESTFIELD, NJ — *Editor's note: It was previously written that this cocktail was inspired by the Netflix show "The Watcher." It was later confirmed that there is no relation to the show, and the name of the cocktail is just a coincidence.

A South Jersey bar is celebrating Halloween with some spooky-themed cocktails this year, and one of them is a bloody-looking drink, named "The Watcher."

Gin Rickey's, a bar and nightclub in Atlantic City, is now offering "The Watcher" cocktail — a vodka-based drink served in a 42-ounce martini glass with a witches brew fruit punch, as well as a whole orange sliced in half made to look like blood shot eyes (using gummy eyeballs).

Gin Rickey's in Atlantic City also hosted a costume contest with cash prizes for scariest, funniest and most unique attire of the evening this past Saturday. They even had "Goulling Pianos" and a late-night session from DJ Johnny B.

The bar is known for serving ginormous 42-ounce martinis, as well as infusion bag cocktails to-go.

"Located in The Quarter at Tropicana, and named after the classic cocktail, that’s easy going and ultra-refreshing, Gin Rickey’s is equal parts cocktail lounge, live music bar, and good vibes," it states on their website.
