Halloween Party Drinks – Part 1

Halloween is not just about kids and bags filled with candy. For me it’s about girls in hot costumes and punch bowls filled with adult beverages.

Here are the first of several Halloween-themed cocktails, perfect for this year’s party, or quiet night at home with the witch of your choice.

These three come courtesy of www.thebar.com and you can find more fright night recipes on their site.
