If you are looking for a festive alcoholic beverage to serve at an upcoming costume party, this Halloween cocktail recipe is a tasty choice. Form the blog Sugar and Cloth, the creepy drink is served in a skeletal vessel. To be fair, the component that makes it Halloween-appropriate is the skull shaped mug you drink it out of. This also means you can enjoy it throughout the rest of the year in a less pirate-y cup.
