There’s something about Halloween that just calls for ghoulishly good brews. The costumes. The choreographed dances to “Thriller.” We know kids love Halloween, so we’re elevating their trick-or-treating experience with a drink that’s as dark as night. And for adults, this Halloween-themed cocktail will add additional thrills. Beware: these two drink recipes are sure to lead to a frightfully fun night.
