Leave candy behind and join the world of Halloween cocktails! Our pumpkin colored potion is perfect for grown-up ghosts and ghouls to sip beneath the harvest moon. The star spirit is mezcal, tequila’s smoky sibling. When you fist taste mezcal, it is dried chipotle chile up front moving into a sweet agave finish. This mixes wonderfully with bitter orange Aperol, a twist of tart lime, and a bit of grapefruit juice. Throw in a few dashes of Angostura bitters and a splash of fizzy club soda. Then light up the bonfire and howl at the moon!
Sometimes you just have to spike the lemonade!
Pisco is one of our favorite summertime spirits, especially when paired with tart lemon and fresh pineapple. It is an unaged grape brandy from South America.

Then, serve it out of a convenient drink dispenser so guests can refill all night long! Read on for the recipe and, if you are feeling extra adventurous, consider using one of these adorable glass pineapple drink containers.
