You want to go out for Halloween but you also want to stay in because you have a prelim next week and want to study or have been under the weather and need a good nights sleep or you just don't want to go out because of the Ebola scare...so what do you do?
You throw your own halloween party. You get a bag of candy, pick some great Halloween-themed movies, and order in some Chinese food and go to bed early.
However, you can't just do this. If you are over 21, you make yourself a drink. Now, its Halloween so you can make yourself a drink that tastes like a Halloween candy. For example:
- you can make a Snickers using Coca-Cola, whiskey, and peanut orgeat (peanut, sugar, water, orange flavor water, vodka)
- you can make a York Peppermint Patty using cream, white creme de cacao, and green creme de menthe
- you can make Starbursts using by making blood orange sangria
- you can honor How I Met Your Mother and make a Tootsie Roll with root beer and kahlua
- you can make a Twizzler using red licorice vodka and cherry shnapps
- you can make a Butterfinger using butter, white rum, chocolate syrup, and hot water
- you can make an Almond Joy using coffee liqueur, coconut rum, irish creme, coconut cream, and white creme de cacao
- you can make a WarHeads using egg white, simple syrup, lime juice, and pisco
- you can make a Twix using Baileys, coffee, and steaming milk
- you can make a Jolly Rancher using sugar, kosher salt, watermelon juice, vodka, lime juice, and orange liqueur
- you can make Sour Patch Kids using vodka, lemon juice, club soda, basil, and cherry simple syrup
Not only can you make yourself a cocktail but you can make yourself a homemade costume. Take the flowers in your kitchen and build a head band out of it. Take the cool glasses you got at parties when you were a little kid and blow up a fake guitar and rock out.
