Tips and To Make The Best Spooky Cocktails

Simple Syrup
It is always a great idea to have simple syrup ready and in the refrigerator! Simple syrup is made with two ingredients and can be flavored with fun fruits, herbs and spices to kick your cocktail up a notch. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

Make a cocktail extra SPOOKY
Dry ice is a fun way to make your cocktails extra spooky! Once the cocktail is prepared, use a set of tongs and place a small piece of dry ice into the filled glass. This will create a fun smokey affect. Make sure to be careful using dry ice and only use a small piece for each glass. The dry ice will dissolve quickly and will be ready to drink.
