Halloween is just around the corner, and we want to show you just how cheap and easy it can be to gather some friends and celebrate. There's no elaborate menu, hours in the kitchen, or fancy cocktails required. All you need is an easy-yet-impressive boozy beverage paired with a festive sweet treat. Think of this as your itty-bitty party plan!

Our Formula: Boozy Beverage + A Sweet Treat
