Tag: Seagram’s Escapes

Halloween is all about the treats, but let’s be honest, the drinks can be just as fun! As adults, our celebrations get a little more sophisticated, and that includes the beverages. Whether you’re hosting a ghoulish gathering or just bringing the spirits (pun intended!) to a party, these three easy and spooky drink recipes are sure to be a hit.

1. Monster Mash Punch

This punch is a bewitching blend of fruity flavors that looks as hauntingly good as it tastes. It combines the bold notes of Black Cherry Fizz and Blueberry Acai Lemonade with classic lemonade, then gets a colorful makeover with fresh berries and orange slices.

• 3 cans Seagram’s Escapes Black Cherry Fizz
• 3 cans Seagram’s Escapes Blueberry Acai Lemonade
• 1 quart Lemonade
• Orange Slices and Blueberries for garnish
• Optional: Black Sugar for rimming glasses
• Optional: “Eyeball ice” (blueberries frozen in round ice molds)

To make it extra spooky, create “eyeball ice” by freezing blueberries in round ice molds. Combine all the liquid ingredients in a punch bowl or cauldron, add the fresh fruit and eyeball ice, and serve in glasses rimmed with black sugar for the ultimate haunted effect.

2. Monster Margarita

Put a spooky spin on a classic margarita with this easy recipe. It uses Seagram’s Escapes Jamaican Me Smile for a tropical twist, complemented by apple cider and tequila.

Rim your cocktail glasses with black sea salt using a lime wedge. In a pitcher, combine the Seagram’s Escapes, apple cider, tequila, lime slices, and orange slices. Stir well, then pour over ice in the prepared glasses. Garnish with your orange peel pumpkin and a cocktail pick.

3. Strawberry Cucumber Gin & Tonic
