Drinkable Treats for Halloween

You don’t want to get wasted while little kids are buzzing your doorbell. But in between trick-or-treaters, there’s nothing like a few sips of hot spiked cider to celebrate Halloween. While you’re picking up Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and mini-Snickers (or supplies to make your own candy bars), it can’t hurt to grab the ingredients for a blogger-recommended holiday cocktail.

Penelope Plans offers up her Pumpkintini, claiming that it’s not too sweet and “has a rich buttery flavor that is just right for a cool October night with friends.” Cocktail Times shares its gummy worm–enhanced Creepy Crawler, while Liquor Snob makes use of Blavod black vodka in a black-and-orange Screwed-Up Screwdriver. For more ideas, check out Drink of the Week’s long list of festive cocktails, from the Guinness-and-Champagne concoction Black Velvet to a little something called the Jägermonster. The list is posted alongside an arresting photo of a jack-o’-lantern regurgitating his own innards. Perhaps this is a warning about what will happen to naughty trick-or-treaters who enjoy these holiday cocktails a little too much.
