scary good drinks for halloween haunts 👻
|
Hey, friends! I have a confession — Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I didn't used to enjoy it, at all. So many people love Halloween. They go all out on decorations, costumes, the whole shebang. I've come around to the celebration, using it as an excuse to make drinks that are super silly (looking at you, Scooby Snack shot) or spooky, and different from the usual stuff. With All Hallows' Eve just around the corner, I've scared up some of my favorite recipes for your monster mash: jello shot syringesThese may be my new favorite recipe for Halloween, elevating the dramatics for any celebration! They combine the ever-popular jello shot with a creepy-cool presentation that will have every-mummy talking.
mad scientist cocktailsWhip up some Skittles vodka (start now with that stash of Halloween candy you're pretending you haven't opened) and mix it with Sprite or club soda and a cube of dry ice for an eerie
boozy gummy wormsBoozy candy is always a hit. Infuse gummy worms with your favorite vodka or rum for a creepy crawly 21+ treat. (Please keep these away from the kiddos!)
black magic champagne cocktailHead to the dark side and whip up some homemade black vodka with food coloring. Use it to make a spooky French 75 with lemon juice and your favorite champagne for a bubbly drink, no cauldron required.
candy corn vodkaIf you love candy corn, this one's for you. Infuse candy corn in vodka to make a sweet spirit that tastes just like the candy. It's fun for shots or you can try it in a sweet martini.
If these recipes aren't enough, I have some fun tricks to turn your drinks into treats. Come Halloween, you'll find me waiting by our front door with a Tootsie Roll cocktail in hand (it tastes just like the real thing!) and maybe a candy bar in the other. Happy Haunting! Susannah P.S.

easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! So much of Thanksgiving is focused on the feast. The turkey, the potatoes, the dessert... But what happens when the leftovers are packaged and the table has been cleared? Nightcaps. A nightcap (or after-dinner drink) is a perfect way to end a meal, but it can also act as a sort of boozy hurrah just before bedtime. You decide what you need after a day filled with family and friends. 😉 Either way, we can all agree a nightcap is the perfect way to end a...
easy, elegant entertaining Hey, Reader! I would be remiss if I let fall pass by without sharing recipes that star one of my favorite flavors — cinnamon! Just a sprinkle of cinnamon gives drinks (and baked goods, and breakfast, and coffee... the list goes on) a cozy element that is unmatched as the weather turns. I like to use cinnamon syrup to add a splash of cinnamon to my cocktails. Cinnamon lovers can amp up the flavor with a cinnamon sugar rim and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cinnamon stick...
