Fiesta Fridays – Treats Not Tricks Pt. 2

The last Fiesta Friday was all about cute kid treats, and a few grown-up ones. However, an adult soiree needs adult drinks, so here are a few creative ideas to (pardon the pun) get you going….

Create unique adult drinks like the Masquerade or a Creepy Crawler, complete with a chocolate web and orange slice garnish.

Vodka and pumpkin puree make up the Jack O’Tini.

I love how colorful the Midori Halloween Punch is, those red orange slices look like giant eyeballs.

The bloody brain shooter takes a little time to make, but is more than worth it.

If these drink ideas are a little complicated, no fear. There are lots of ways to add a fun garnish to an otherwise ordinary beverage.

-How awesome are DIY’s creepy drink skewers made from dried fruit. fresh ginger, and gummy candies?

– Use rock candy, licorice sticks, black and white peppermint sticks or glow sticks as swizzle sticks.

– Slip spider or skull rings on glass stems, embellished with glitter glue as wine charms.

– Garnish drink rims with corn syrup tinted red for a bloodied look. Or dip moistened rims into festive-colored sugars.

– Have a few gummy worms creeping precariously over the edge of or a candied eyeball floating in a martini glass

– Try three candy corns speared through a toothpick, instead of onions or olives.
