Gastronomy: Menacing Mixes

Don’t let the kids have all the fun this year! Whether you’re throwing a soirée or spending a simple evening at home passing out candy, take time to whip-up a batch of menacing mixes. To please the inner-child in you, sample the Jade—this day-glow, pucker-punch of a cocktail easily satisfies any Skittles craving. If something a little more restrained is your style, try the Scary Screwdriver. Fresh juices paired with black vodka provide both the trick and the treat. Happy Halloween!
