I think it’s safe to say that the Treats are usually the best part of Halloween. But I’m not a huge candy eater, so I prefer a more adult treat, in the form of a festive cocktail. Here are a few bevies to try this holiday!

Candy Corn SkinnyTini

As I’ve previously covered, I love Skinny Water. Here’s an orange-colored drink that’s only 133 calories.

2 oz Vanilla Vodka

2 oz Orange Cranberry Tangerine Skinny Water

1 oz Diet Ginger Ale

Candy Corn

Shake the vodka and Skinny Water over ice; strain in to a martini glass, top with ginger ale and garnish.

Smoky Diablo

This drink will impress others; it was developed by master mixologist Duggan McDonnell of Cantina in San Francisco.

1/2 oz limoncello
1 oz grapefruit juice
1 tsp agave nectar
1/2 tsp dark chili powder
Ice cubes

*Optional: Rim glass with chili powder and salt mixture before pouring contents into glass.

Zombie Mar-Tiki

1 oz Voodoo Tiki Platinum

1 oz Mango Rum

1 oz Dark Rum

1 oz Pineapple Juice

1 oz Orange Juice
