These are the creepiest Halloween cocktails in Miami

Tacology wants you to come to the dark side with a special cocktail offered only on Saturday, Oct. 28. It’s called — you guessed it — The Dark Side. Make sure to wear a costume for a chance to win some bottles of tequila and some serious money in gift cards.

Head to Coco Bambu on Halloween and order up the Witches’ Cauldron, a smoky potion made with creme de cassis, lime, peach, vodka and Prosecco, or a Kandy Korn made with lemon, acetola, pineapple, Grey Goose citron vodka, Malibu coconut rum and an egg white. Either of them will get you just the right amount of turnt for the rest of your evening activities.

In keeping with the theme of Faena’s Rocky Horror Picture Show themed party on October 28, try the Let Their Be Lips! made with Grey Goose vodka, St-Germain, lemon, zombie mix and red lips garnish. Or the Riff Raff made with Bombay Gin, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao, lemon, Cocchi Americano and absinthe.

And if you really want to get lit, the Transvesper offers generous pours of Bombay Gin and Grey Goose vodka.

Meat Market’s Pumpkin Spice Smash cocktail is fall in a glass, with Four Roses Bourbon, house-made pumpkin spiced reduction, fresh Florida citrus and mint.
