3 Halloween Inspired Cocktails to Enhance Your Halloween Night

Some Halloweens before I was walking the neighborhood with my kids I'd have the firepit lit at the top of the driveway, give out candy to kids and beers to their parents. Parents walking the neighborhood love a free beer. If you don't have someone in your neighborhood handing out beers to parents, there are a few Halloween inspired cocktails that can enhance your Halloween night.

Liquor.com always has some great stuff if you're looking for a new drink recipe or anything drinking related. This Halloween season they've put together a list of Halloween inspired cocktail recipes.I went through and found a few that jumped out and I might be trying this Tuesday.

1. Snickertini

One of the most beloved candy bars out there, so a drink that tastes like it has to be great, right? You'll need chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, caramel liquor, amaretto, Bailey's, Chocolate liquor and heavy cream for this one. Kind of giving off a Halloweeny White Russian vibe. Here's the full recipe and write up by Liquor.com

2. White Bat

Speaking of White Russians. This next was seems to be concocted exactly from that. It involves white rum, Kahlua, coca cola and whole milk. All you're missing is a scoop of ice cream and you've got a White Russian float. Full recipe.

3. Tequila Corpse Reviver

The name alone makes me want to try it, but the look of it puts it over the top. It has the look of a margarita, and I LOVE margaritas. Depending on how heavy a pourer you are, you might want to be careful with this one. It includes blanco tequila, vermouth, triple sec, absinthe, fresh squeezed lime & orange juice. Tequila and absinthe in the same drink?! Full recipe.

Give one of these a try if you're throwing a halloween party, or just sitting at home handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Of course, drink responsibly. You can check out the full list here, and keep liquor.com in mind for your drink making needs!

When I say margaritas and daquiris you probably immediately think of the summertime, but who says those types of cocktails can only be enjoyed in the summer months?? Whether you prefer gin, vodka, tequila, or rum we've got a list of 15 different seasonal cocktails you can make this fall.

Listen, I know that's not tea in your thermos that you're walking around with on Halloween while your kiddos trick or treat so why not fill it up with one of these yummy libations!
