Other than getting dressed up, one of my favorite parts of Halloween is a spooky cocktail! Whether it's blood, creepy crawlies, or brain and guts, you can really get creative with cocktails on Halloween. The Poisoned Pomegranate features Mezcal and succulent pomegranate to create a balanced smoky drink. It is dripping in edible blood to make it the perfect cocktail for all the vampires out there! So grab your fangs and get to drinking, cheers!
