Halloween Cocktails Safe at Home
Oh how I do love Halloween! This year we’ll all be celebrating at a distance and skipping the door to door trick or treating…but who says you can’t celebrate with a cocktail (or two) at home! We’ve pulled together a few of our new Halloween cocktail favorites. We’ve also included a few links to some recipes we’ve published in years past. I particularly like the NEFT ultra premium vodka product. It’s cheeky in style and presentation, which makes it even more of a treat! If you’re not up for mixing up your own cocktail, give Collins Hot Buttered Rum Mix a try…just add rum.
Spooky Glassware
Take cocktails up a notch by serving them in one of Well Told’s literature-themed glassware. Choose Dracula and serve a cranberry based drink as “Vampire’s Blood” or add a little green food coloring to a vodka soda or a simple lemonade in their Frankenstein glass. There’s also The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Phantom of the Opera! Each of these thoughtfully designed glasses features the famous opening lines and first-edition cover artwork of these timeless books, including the signatures of their famous authors.
Whatever your Halloween cocktail pleasure, be sure to be safe and drink responsibly!
