Life
Halloween is right around the corner and whether you're throwing a party with your friends or keeping it calm and relaxing with your kiddos (which likely isn't all that calm and relaxing either), having a few adult beverages on hand is never a bad idea. While your kids dive head first into their trick or treating goods, you can kick back with a delicious candy corn cocktail. Because adults deserve a Halloween treat too, right?
Some of the drinks, like the candy corn jello shots, are better suited for a crowd, while others, like the four-ingredient fall cocktail, are the perfect thing to share with your SO after a hectic night of hauling your children around collecting candy. Or just to drink whenever the heck you want, no judgement here.
All the cocktails on this list are frighteningly simple to make, and can be created with ingredients you already have on hand. Regardless of which cocktail strikes your fancy, you can end your day in the spirit of Halloween — still in costume, I would hope — with these themed drinks.
If anything, these cocktails will give you something exciting to look forward to after all the sweat, blood, and tears you put into making the perfect holiday for your kids. So pour yourself a spooky drink this Halloween, you deserve it.
