Muhaahaahaa! Hello my pretties! I mixed up a simple Hocus Pocus Halloween Cocktail for you!
Halloween Cocktail
Are you getting in the Halloween spirit? Do you have little ones that will be trick or treating? We had the most fun with the holiday when our kids were young.
On year our daughter was the Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers TV program. She wore a cute little jumpsuit with an authentic looking mask, boots and gloves that my mother sewed for her.
Another year she was Princess Jasmine from Walt Disney’s film Aladdin. So darn precious, although now I hear she was mortified (at the age of 4) that she wore a nude colored leotard because she wasn’t bare bellied like all the other little girls! LOL – who knew?!!
Halloween memories
That same year our son was Woody from the Toy Story wearing a fringed vest, and a real cowboy hat and boots! So adorable!
We would coach them on what to say, “Remember to say, Trick or Treat!” And as we left, “Don’t forget to say, Thank you!”
Their voices and little legs got worn out pretty quick, so after an hour or so we were back at the house with piles of candy strewn on the living room floor inspecting their loot!
Ditched for friends, so drink up!
THEN they got BIGGER (10 or 11 years old) and it was much cooler to go collect your candy with a pack of your friends.
The cute little plastic pumpkins that held their candy turned into pillow cases, and the mission changed: collect as much candy as you can before your curfew is up!
Six grade is an evil Halloween year for parents! Hogwash, I tell you! It feels like a cruel trick on us parents to get replaced with friends, especially when we just began to get the hang of costume hunting!
Time for Halloween Cocktails
If you have a little one who is relying on you to make their Halloween costume dreams come true, enjoy every second! The mutant ninja and ballerina phase is short lived!
Regardless of where you are in the realm of Halloween activities, enjoy this cocktail with me, won’t you?

Hocus Pocus Halloween Cocktail
Halloween Cocktail for the Adults, which can easily be adjusted by leaving out the rum for a non-alcoholic punch.
Ingredients

- 1/3 cup Coconut Rum
- Club soda
- Black sanding sugar (optional)
- Honey (optional)
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
Notes
This party was for two. Adjust to your preference. For a non-alcoholic beverage, replace rum with ginger ale, sprite or 7-up, and leave out the club soda.
Next, take a look at yourself in the mirror and flash a big cheesy grin! Your teeth should have a lovely cast of gray from the black sugar crystals. It’s quite attractive 🙂 I’m told!
Muhaahaahaa!!

I can not find the recommended juice can I use something else?
Sandra Shaffer
Hi Hanna, it’s usually found in the refrigerated section, but you can use any type of blend juice with one of the ingredients pineapple, mango or passion juice.

My group are more vodka drinkers. Would coconut vodka work instead of rum ?
Sandra Shaffer
Hi Teresa! Absolutely would be tasty with vodka.
