Halloween drinks for kids that are devilishly delicious

Posted by Edward Mugarian in Halloween Food & Drink on August 21st, 2021

Who better than kids to believe in the Magic of Halloween? For them, it’s a night full of fright and a bag full of delight. Along with an imagination that visualizes that witches are real, ghosts haunt their dreams, and monsters frolic under their bed or hide insidiously in the closet. But when their eyes are closed, they imagine piles of fun-size candy bars, bobbing for apples, or touching peeled grapes pretending to be eyeballs. And to go along with and wash down that once per year sugar bomb, these fun and tasty Halloween drinks will do the “trick” as well as win the approval of even the most skeptical parent.
