    💭 Tips For Making The Best Halloween Cocktails

    When it comes to making the spookiest cocktails, it's all about the garnishes, colors, and 'special effects'! But of course, you don't want the taste of your drink to suffer.

    Here are a few tips to remember so you can make the most delicious (and fun) Halloween cocktails!

    How To Make The Best Halloween Cocktails

    1. Theme - Choose a theme for your cocktails (especially if making multiple options). Witches, vampires, ghosts, and even classic horror movies are all great themes!
    2. Garnishes - A few eerie garnishes go a long way. Incorporate some fake eyeballs, gummy worms, cotton candy spider webs, or even just some Halloween-themed straws.
    3. Name Your Cocktails - Even if the drink technically has a name, you can still call your cocktail something fun and on-theme for the night of your party! Puns and wordplay are always a crowd favorite.
    4. Dry Ice -Dry ice is a great way to incorporate smokey fog effects on the table or around your cocktails. *Keep in mind dry ice is unsafe to ingest and should not be directly added to drinks to prevent anyone from swallowing it.
    5. Batch Cocktails - Make batch cocktails that can be self-served from pitchers or punch bowls (like the bubbling cauldron punch above) for large parties.
    6. Glassware: Choose glassware that suits your theme. Skull-shaped glasses, cauldron mugs, and beaker-inspired containers will add to the Halloween ambiance.
    7. Test and Refine - Before the big event, do some trial runs of your cocktails to ensure they taste great and that the presentation is on point! (Plus, it's fun!)
