With Halloween not far away, here are a selection of spooky cocktail recipes that are sure to go down well with your guests!

 

Who says drinks always have to be sophisticated?  With a few tweaks it can be easy to turn your favourite cocktails into ghoulish delights! Wether you are having some friends round or just want to liven up your usual weekend drinks, these recipes can be made in minutes and don’t have more than a few ingredients.

 

I hate when some cocktail recipes have things in them that only a well stocked mixologist would have to hand! Feel free to make substitutions for anything that you can’t get hold of or maybe aren’t keen on
