4 Spooky Halloween Cocktails for Grown-ups

Halloween is upon us! So today I’m making some sophisticated and delicious drinks for grown-ups (kids can’t have all the fun). No smoke and mirrors here – just good cocktails. Here are four you can make at home for your upcoming costume party, or to sip on as a distraction from the ghost and ghouls outside (actually I’d suggest consulting some ghost-busting professionals if that really is the case). Of course enjoy responsibly, and enjoy the spooky season! Cheers, everyone!
