Bloody Good Halloween-Themed Drinks

 

With fall underway and temperatures on the decline, it’s time to start planning that annual Halloween bash. With the economy more “ghoulish” than ever, save money by organizing a party at home in lieu of meeting friends at a local hot spot.  Planning isn’t hard with Belvedere Vodka’s signature Halloween Cocktails, The Vampire Elixir and The Pumpkin Martini. Created by Belvedere’s master mixologist Claire Smith, these glam Halloween specialties will leave guests spellbound.
