Halloween is right around the corner, and while we may be skipping the big bashes this year, we can still find ways to celebrate. According to recent findings from Bacardi’s Holiday Survey, 53% of people are still planning to dress up–even if it’s just for the Insta or to impress their friends on Zoom! In fact, 25% of survey respondents said they plan on attending virtual parties this season, and will be mixing their own delicious serves for the occasion.
There’s no better way to bring the spooky vibes to your at-home celebration than with the right cocktails made with the best ingredients. This year, survey respondents chose vodka as the #1 spirit for crafting seasonal cocktails – so grab your favorite candy, put on a scary movie, and try your hand at these Halloween vodka cocktail recipes.
Cheers!
