Top Halloween Cocktail Recipes for 2021

3 min readOct 27, 2021

I remember when my kids were little and I’d take them trick or treating in the neighborhood. My husband and I were big fans of Halloween and would seize the opportunity to use our inner creative to come up with some pretty stellar costumes for not only the kids, but for ourselves too.

As the sun descended, we’d take to the streets looking for lit porch lights and great decorations. Once a home was chosen, the kids would run to the door, knock, then run back excited about the goodies we, I mean they scored.

Occasionally, the neighbors would notice us all dressed up and would invite us in for a little “trick or drink”. It became a theme over time so much so we began carrying a glass so we could have our Halloween drink to go!

This year I think Halloween is going to be bigger than ever. Whether you are throwing a bash or just want to enjoy a great cocktail while watching Halloween Kills, I’ve got a few killer recipes to share with you…
