Last week we shared some creepy cocktail ideas. This week it’s all about the candy bar. I’m in the planning stages for our annual pumpkin carving party. One of the grown-up party activities is a Halloween martini tasting. Our friends get to sample a few cocktails they’ve never tried before, and my mom and I get to have fun deciding what to shake up.
More ideas to come this week – Halloween desserts, unusual pumpkin centerpiece ideas, and some adorable DIY (do-it-yourself) Halloween favor bags.
Cheers to a week full of festive ideas!
