Trick or Treat with Halloween Cocktails

October 1, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

These tasty, yet awesome looking drinks have been made especially for all witches, goblins and ghosts to create a frightening party atmosphere.

Award-winning mixologist Victoria D’Amato-Moran has created three specialty recipes to toast Halloween. Inspired by Midori’s ghoulishly green coloring, these haunting treats are as festive as they are delicious.

Serve up a harvest themed punch by mixing the seasonal flavors of cranberry and apple juice with Midori and rum. Or opt for sophisticated cocktail recipes like the Midori Green Ghoul and Midori Spider’s Kiss – a festive, vibrant addition to any bar or Halloween table setting.

Trick or treat – let the party begin!
