Halloween cocktails: Your spirits guide

​Whether you believe in ghosts or not, Halloween-inspired cocktails might just be the thing to lift your spirits.

The place to start -- and perhaps end -- is cocktails made with candy-corn infused vodka. It would appear to have a light orange hue like that of orange drink, and what I can only imagine to be an unparalleled sweetness. But it only takes three hours to infuse the vodka, which suggests that you could make a batch the morning of your party.

Kindly don't sacrifice high-end vodka in pursuit of this cocktail, however intrigued you might be by any drink that calls for a garnish of candy corn.
 

If you're looking for sickly sweet shots, Fan Pop has a list of five dessert-flavored shots

that should satisfy even the sweetest tooth. The Tootsie Roll might be

the best of the lot -- it combines coffee liqueur, orange juice and

vodka.

If you'd rather serve a drink that will make party guests request a second

glass, your best bet is to stick with something apple-themed. You can

get freshly picked apples that are tart or sweet right now and produce

home-made apple cocktails that will be tasty and refreshing.

That's The Spirit has a fairly comprehensive list of apple-based cocktails

in which the fruit can be the juice or mixer ingredient in a huge range of

cocktails -- or the alcohol, as in cider, apple liqueur or Calvados (an apple brandy).


Good luck mixing -- the same glass may hold a trick and a treat.
