It’s the spooky time of year, so it’s time to talk about Halloween beers and Halloween cocktails. A cocktail episode means that Greg and Pat get to hang out while Roger makes them cocktails. And Chris will make his own while spending way too much time crafting the garnish.

Who knew cocktails with black colored vodka could be so much fun? Our version of the screwdriver looks weird. Like, really weird. But it tastes exactly like the screwdriver you've sipped on in your 21+ life. Freak out your friends with this ghoulish cocktail. Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caldron bubble.

With Halloween just around the corner, hopefully candy and costumes are covered, but what about the beer?

This recipe is great to batch for festive get-togethers, or sip on while trick or treaters ring your door bell. *Cackles*

This cocktail is as basic as it gets. Our Pumpkin Old Fashioned is a fantastic mix of candy apple, cinnamon and fresh baked pie flavors. It's sweet, but not too sweet. This is one cocktail you'll want to serve up this fall. Best paired with furry boots and a plaid shirt.

Forbidden Fall is basically a pumpkin milkshake. The pumpkin flavors aren't overwhelming and mix well with the apple and cranberry flavors. Best enjoyed while planning your Halloween costume.
