The best Halloween nights have three things in common: killer costumes, candy galore and plenty of cocktails to keep things interesting. Before you go mixing up a truly spooky jungle juice, try these bewitching candy and cocktail pairings to help you get through the piles of Halloween candy you’ll be stashing away (shhhh….I won’t tell).
Skittles Prosecco Cocktail
Prosecco, my ultimate fave, is a delightful wine-based spirit and paired with the bright citrus flavors of Skittles is just what this drink needs to bring balance and a bit of playfulness. Drop a couple Skittles into the glass and watch as the drink changes colors. EXTRA fizz….👻
Baby Ruth & Rum & Coke
Rum has this subtle spice and wood flavors that balance perfectly with the caramel and peanuts of the Baby Ruth. Try this pairing for yourself and you’ll be asking “Hey, who ate my Baby Ruth and why is my glass empty?” before you know it.🧹
Crunch Bar and Cinnamon Apple Ale
This combo tastes like fall in a bottle. The starchy crunch of the Crunch bar is a nice offset to the cinnamon sweetness of the drink and together they balance for an easy party favorite. Just drink the neck out of the ale and add a shot of Fireball, CRUNCH and enjoy! 🎃
Three Muskateers and Grasshopper
Nougat. Some people love it, and some… not so much. Enter the Grasshopper. This drink tastes like melted mint chip ice cream in a glass. This creamy mint taste allows the Three Musketeers to play the role it was meant to, a light and fluffy offset to a strong counterpart. Just be sure to make time for the treadmill the next day! 😂
Candy Corn Vodka Martini
These are fun and so easy to make! The vodka will take the super sweet Candy Corn down a notch and only leave its delicious buttery flavor and its dreamy color.
Glass of Cab Sauv and a Dark Hershey Bar
Halloween is not complete without the iconic, smooth flavor of Hershey’s chocolate — whether in bar or kiss form. For this classic candy, I suggest pairing with a dark red Cab. Dessert in a glass! 🍷
Twix Cocktail
This cocktail is DELICIOUS! Line the rim of the glass with the crushed TWIX® Bites by dipping the glass in a shallow pool of caramel then the candy. Swirl the inside of the glass with caramel and chocolate syrup, then mix 1 oz of the Caramel Irish cream liqueur and 1/2 oz of vodka. Strain and pour over a prepared glass. Garnish with a TWIX® stick.
