Bonfires burning & bright pumpkin faces in the night…
Witches, ghosts, vampires & zombies gathering in the shadows…
It’s definitely time to get ready for the most frightful night of the year!
Line up the candy apples, befriend a few spiders, get working on the pumpkin carving & dust the old potion book…
… For there’s no Halloween party without a spooky (witches’) brew of a Halloween cocktail!
My elixir of choice? How about a Bloody Ghoul’s Goblet*?!
The perfect mix of sweet & sour, this spooky serve, inspired by thebar.com Smirnoff Ghoul’s Goblet, is sure to cast a spell on your guests!
Just don’t be alarmed when you see some creepy creatures at the bottom of your glass, for if you don’t garnish drinks with worms & tarantula brains on Halloween, then when?

Yuuum! That sounds gorgeous. I get tired of overly sweet drinks so the ginger ale addition is perfect for me. Make mine a large one!
