Handing out trick or treat goodies to all the ghosts and goblins that rap, rap, rap at the door Halloween eve is thirsty work. The caldron of candy bars, bubble gum and fruit chews that have been carefully chosen for all the costumed boys and girls might be tempting, but there are much more enticing adult libations for those with a sweet tooth. Classic cocktails definitely have their place in modern cocktail culture, but Halloween sets the tone for more capricious drink recipe creations. Childhood favorites such as candy corn, gummy worms, candied apples, kettle corn, S’mores and more have become liquid bliss in a glass. Candy bar cocktails and dessert drink recipes mean adults are no longer relegated to sneaking a dip into the kid’s candy bin to curb the craving for sweet seduction. Skip the urge to delve into the witch’s brew of candy wrappers and sugared sweets covered in plastic and reach for a cocktail shaker instead.
