Terrify your friends with your bartending skills

Halloween is one of those holidays that practically demands creative cocktail options. There�s so much choice when it comes to Halloween, you could go spooky colours, unique ingredients, add dry ice for a fog effect or simply use seasonal ingredients to represent the fall weather.

We�ve shared some past Halloween cocktail options before, but because there�s so much variety we�ve found some more for this year that we are very excited to try.
