Halloween is almost here, and if your like me your waiting to the last minute to find a halloween costume… SIGH! Maybe I will go this year as a crazy mother on the verge of a meltdown… I wonder if that would go well!?!

I guess I really don’t need to dress up for that lately since everywhere I turn I think my kids are waiting to see if I’ll jump off a very high bridge because they have been testing my nerves.

Yep! Definitely going as a mother whose lost it!

If you feel like you can relate to how I feel then you  definitely need to make some of these tasty cocktails, from Fine Living, for yourself, especially if your having a halloween party or gathering.

• Cemetary Slime Punch: non-alchoholic diet root beer and frozen yogurt, gruesome looking punch.

• Witches Brew: A mixture of pineapple and cranberry, with a shot of malibu rum.

• Blood Sucker Punch: This vampire-friendly cocktail, with triple sec, vodka and pineapple juice.  Add strawberry or raspberry puree to add streams of “blood” down the sides of the glass.

• Bloody Brain Shooter:  Become the mad-scientist you’ve always wanted with this Bloody Brain Shooter.  Add chilled vodka and lime juice to a shot glass, then use a straw to drip Irish cream into the glass.  The acidic lime juice will cause the Irish cream to curdle, creating realistic strands of “brain.” Crazy eh!!!!

• Liquefied Ghost:  Mix vanilla simple syrup, cream, vodka and soda and serve in a martini glass.  This is what we call a grown-up milkshake… Yum!

• Zombie Cocktail: Add apricot brandy and three types of rum: light, dark and high-proof Bacardi 151. Grenadine and orange juice give the drink its lovely pumpkin hue.

• Black Devil Martini: Dark rum and a black-olive garnish gives this drink its midnight hue, rim the glass with coarse orange sugar.

• Vampire Cocktail: This dessert-worthy combination of vanilla ice cream, triple sec and white crème de cacao.
