A lot of what makes Halloween what it is is the creation of a spooky atmosphere and anything and everything involved in a party can be converted from mundane to eerie very easily. Cocktails are no different. These haunting drinks are great ghastly additions to the Halloween theme: some are black as night while others have mysterious creatures hiding in the depths, all are a lot of fun. Also, keep an eye out for Halloween drink accessories like the black cat drink marker or hang glow in the dark fake teeth off the rim.

 

Black Martini

Black is the signature color for All Hallows Eve so why not make your Martini match the occasion? If black raspberry or blackberry flavors are not your thing, try a regular Vodka Martini made with Blavod (a black vodka). Recipe

 

 

Mad Eye Martini

 Who hasn't dreamt of an eyeball sitting on top of their drink? The Mad Eye Martini will fulfill that dream with it's gruesome-looking skewered eye looming over the pale blue martini. Looks aside, the eye and the drink taste fantastic. Recipe

 

   

Jack O'Lantern

 The Jack O'Lantern is perfect for Halloween, but it's the garnish that turns it from the ordinary into the extraordinary. Cognac and orange go together fabulously, so the flavor is great and it's visually stimulating which is great for impressing your ghoulish guests. Recipe 

 

Devil's Punch

Devilishly delectable, Devil's Punch is an indulgence one can't afford to miss. You can easily convert this recipe into a serving size for your whole party by keeping the ratios and serving it in a punch bowl. Recipe

 

Bayou Slime

The swamps of the bayou can be one of the scariest places and this cocktail has that same mystery of what could possibly be underneath that top layer of slime. It's really a great drink, sort of a creamy Mojito. Recipe

 

Black Cat

Notoriously if a Black Cat crosses your path you had best be prepared for some bad things to come your way. Not so here. This hauntingly pleasing cocktail will have you looking around every corner in pursuit of the Black Cat and its cranberry-cherry cola flavors. Recipe

 

Skeletons in Your Closet

Do you have any Skeletons in Your Closet? Admit it, we all do. But now there's a variation of the Margarita that takes it a step further. This is a great fruit Margarita on the rocks that's a little out of the extraordinary with DeKuyper's Island Blue Tropical Schnapps, pineapple and mango. Recipe

 

Corpse Reviver

This cocktail is sure to wake the dead. The stunning combination of apple brandy and regular brandy with a hint of sweet vermouth make an excellent compliment to any spooky scene. Recipe

Featuring DEE JOHNSON

Performance Thursday, October 15th at 7PM

This tribute to the "Queens of Soul" is a feast for the ears, as our talented Dee Johnson pays tribute to the most renowned singers of our time. DEE will sing a medley of smash hits including "R-E-S-P-E-C-T", "Think", an amazing rendition of "Natural Woman", and much more.  Our soulful songstress  has graced many stages all over the country. 

Fruity, sweet, tart and sparkling: cool summer sippers for every occasion. 

While sweet iced tea and lemonade may seem like all-American refreshers, the traditions go back further than you might think.

Vendors in Paris--the "Compagnie de Limonadiers"--were selling lemonade in the 1600s.

Recipes for iced tea have existed for two hundred years, but it was the 1904 World's Fair that popularized it. Now Americans drink nearly 100 million glasses of iced tea every day.
