Get Spooked! We have 4 Spooky Cocktails and 2 Creepy Treats. I’m thrilled to share a selection of eerie cocktails and hauntingly delicious treats to elevate your celebration. Let’s raise our glasses to this festive holiday’s enchanting, spooky magic! As we reminisce about the thrill of those old trick-or-treating days, let’s gather together and embrace the spirit of celebration, even if the scares aren’t as potent as they once were.
Feeling bold? Get Spooky and Spiced with Absente. Handcrafted in the French Alps, Absente is made by following one of the oldest recipes dating back to the 19th century. They use the highest quality artisanal distillation methods and ingredients, including the infamous botanical wormwood (or artemisia absinthium), the key ingredient of the authentic absinthe recipe. Absente Absinthe Refined is a spirit that is excellent for Halloween. It was banned years ago, but all the cool kids of the 1850s and 1900s were absinthe fans. This cocktail combines the haunting green spirit with rich citrus flavors, sending shivers down your spine with each herbal note.

Katie Stryjewski, better known as Garnish Girl on Social Media, is a writer, cocktail photographer, and recipe developer. Katie has book: Cocktails, Mocktails, and Garnishes from the Garden, which features examples of garnishes and general know-how. It has become my reference book for tricks and just cocktail recipes in general. I follow her periodically on Instagram, and she featured a cocktail with gin. One of my favorite spirits, gin. Gin is herbaceous distilled beverage that features the aromas of blueberries. I loved this Burial Tux Spooky Cocktail; read the recipe below:

And to accompany our drinks, we have two mesmerizing treats: Monster Teeth and Marshmallow Awesome Sauce!
A healthy creepy treat? Yes it is possible. Make some creepy treats with apples, peanut butter, and mini marshmallows.
Directions:
Slice the apples, and add peanut butter to one side of each slice. Then, on half of the slices, stick the marshmallows to the peanut butter so they resemble teeth. Now, add the second apple slice on top of the “teeth,” and you’ve got spooky smiles to serve at your next Halloween party! Learn how to do it here (12:54)

Spookify any dessert with this simple trick! Heat up marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl, let the mixture cool, and use your fingers to create the perfect creepy-crawly spider webs for everything on the dessert platter. Add some toy spiders for an extra scary effect!
