Here’s to their cats,
Here’s to the hoot owls
And Whirring bats;
Here’s to the ghosties,
In robes of white,
Here’s to the thrills of
Hallowe’en night.
As Halloween approaches, we asked some of our favorite bartenders for their spooky-inspired recipes. Enjoy these in a toast at home, or better yet, (trick or) treat yourself to a sip at the bar. Cheers!
