In case you forgot (which I’m sure you didn’t), Halloween is right around the corner.  With Halloween comes candy, decorations, and most importantly- dressing up in costume. Since I’m sure most costumes are already planned to the animals ears, why don’t we focus on the next thing- dressing up your drink.

1. Pumpkin Spice White Russian

Everyone loves a pumpkin spiced latte- why not spike it for some fun on Halloween weekend?

What you need:

ÂĽ cup of Kahlua

ÂĽ cup of espresso

1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice syrup

½ cup of warm milk

Whipped cream- optional

2. Angry Balls

Want something with a little more kick? If you want to be okay with singing “I’m on FIREEEBALL” by the end of night,  mix 1 shot of fireball and 1 pint of Angry Orchard. If you’re feeling fun, top it with a cinnamon sugar rim.

3. Candy Apple Cocktail

My personal favorite is a little sweeter.  Apple cider mixed with any caramel vodka tastes just like a candy apple. Add any white wine and apple slices to mix it up and make a little sangria!

4. Chocolate Martini

Just because you’re over 21 doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy every kid’s favorite part of Halloween- CANDY! Mix vodka, chocolate syrup, chocolate malt powder, and some cream for a chocolate martini.

5. Jello Shots

Not that there ever needs to be an excuse to make jello shots, but make them more festive by putting them in a syringe for an accessory to your costume
