Easy Halloween cocktails to kick off the spooky season
Everybody scream, it’s almost Halloween!
Just going to put this out there: Halloween is by far the most fun holiday, no matter how old you are. Oh sure, it’s not as “important” as some of the other holidays we celebrate--it’s up there with St. Patrick’s Day as a nominally historical excuse to party. But that’s what makes it so great!
There’s nothing complicated about Halloween. There are no expectations other than basically all things spooky, for the entire month of October (or, let’s be honest, late September, aka Spooky Season Even). Live your best life: Watch your favorite 90’s Halloween movies on repeat for weeks straight, stuff your face with candy, put up all the decorations, and culminate with a fun costume… and some EPIC parties.
Halloween parties are really what it’s all about, right? Parties are the best part of adult Halloween, and even if candy isn’t the currency it used to be, we have something even better: Halloween cocktails. And if there’s one thing our Seeds Squad knows about, it’s festive cocktails, whatever the occasion!
Actually, our Seeds Squad has been hard at work during this Spooky Season Eve, mixing up some delicious tequila-based Halloween cocktails for your Ghoulish gatherings. These recipes are frightfully fun! Whether you’re throwing a big party or gathering a few members of your closest coven, our Halloween cocktails are easy to make and sure to impress. Gather your friends, mix up some tequila-based bevvies, and have all the Halloween fun!
As you browse our recipes, don’t be daunted by the freaky flair. Like so many fancy cocktails, they look much more complicated than they actually are! Our candy accents can be found in almost any store that stocks Halloween candy.
Oh, and no one ever got mad at some cocktail/candy pairings… unless it’s candy corn.
