Halloween this year is on a Tuesday, and have I bought candy yet? Oh, you bet I haven’t! The neighbor kiddos are going to be shuffling around the cul de sac in the cold, dark MN evening (maybe even snow?!)… with the cutest ones just barely learning to walk! I can’t wait! We finally moved to a neighborhood with young couples with kids who take their kids trick or treating! However… for those of us going the opposite direction and throwing an over 21 years of age gathering who want to have adult beverages, here are some cleverly-named Halloween-Themed Cocktails!
Scare The Sh*t Out Your Friends This Halloween
Halloween to kids mean dressing up as your favorite character and trudging through the cold with your parents, begging strangers for candy. Halloween as a college student means dressing up in the least amount of clothing possible and drinking everyone under the table. Halloween in your 30’s is a little different experience. You have matured. You don’t need candy. You can buy your own. You don’t need lingerie as a costume you’ll catch a cold! You have extra funds now… from your job. Funds for extravagant costumes, props, food and signature cocktails. And you want to scare the shit out of your friends on Halloween. Why is that? I don’t really know; maybe we are hoping to see our grown up friends piddle in their pants and turn white as a ghost while a zombie jumps out and tries to eat their arm. Let your imagination run this year, here are some helpful starters.
