What to drink

Now that you know what to wear, it's time for some alcoholic beverages with a Halloween twist. Here are some recipes for mixed drinks that can spice up any Halloween party.

Bloody Rum Punch

Bloody Rum Punch is a drink that can appease both the men and women in your party. It's basically Sangria, but with a Halloween twist. To add some ghoulish flair, pop some fake eyeballs into the bowl, or maybe some plastic spiders.

Ingredients:

1 750ml bottle DonQ Cristal rum

½ bottle red wine

6 ounces triple sec

6 ounces lime juice

6 ounces simple syrup

2 oranges sliced thinly into wheels

2 limes sliced thinly into wheels

Mix the ingredients into a punch bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for two hours. Pour each serving into a punch glass over ice.

Jack-O-Lantern

This drink has the perfect Halloween look as it shares the appearance of a Jack-O-Lantern.

Ingredients:

1 ounce Hennessy VSOP Cognac

½ ounce Grand Marnier

½ ounce ginger ale

½ ounce orange juice

1 lime twist

1 orange wheel

To prepare, mix the ingredients in a shaker and strain over ice into a lowball glass. To garnish and get that Halloween look, take cut orange wheel and float it on top of the drink. Poke the lime twist through the middle of the orange wheel.

The Wolf Bite

No party is complete without shots, and the Wolf Bite is just that. Its freaky colors are the perfect complement for a Halloween shindig.

Ingredients:

1 ounce Lucid Absinthe

1 ounce Midori Melon Liqueur

1 ounce lemon-lime soda

1.5 ounces pineapple juice

Drizzle of grenadine

To prepare, combine the Absinthe, Midori Melon Liqueur, the pineapple juice, and ice into a cocktail shaker. Shake hard and strain into a 2 ounce shot glass. Splash the lemon-lime soda on top, and drizzle a tad of grenadine.
