my must-haves for halloween cocktails
First, let’s start off with some spooky glassware! There are skull glasses, skeleton glasses, and these gorgeous boney hand glasses. I personally really love these skull cocktail picks because they are festive and fun, plus they liven up the glassware that you already have on hand.
Do you need a punch bowl? This pumpkin punch bowl is super cute! Plus you can use it both for Halloween and other fall parties like Thanksgiving.
You will also need your favorite bar tools! For shaker drinks, you’ll need a jigger, cocktail shaker, and cocktail strainer. I like to have a cocktail mixing glass with a bar spoon to make drinks that are stirred instead of shaken in larger quantity.
