There may have been a time in our lives when gorging ourselves on the spoils of our trick-or-treating bounty was the pinnacle of the Halloween experience, but the kids can keep the candy, us grown-ups find joy in other sweet things. Whether you need a bewitching brew for a big crew or a spook-TEAcular cockTEAil (YES, both puns so very intended) for two, the tea-infused Halloween cocktails below can be multiplied to your needs for a thematic evening in, or a spectacular Halloween soiree.
The Ghost’s Breakfast

½ cup of Numi’s Golden Chai Tea
½ cup dairy or non-dairy milk (I used rice milk)
1 shot of whiskey
1 dash of cinnamon
1 Teaspoon of Agave Syrup or Organic Local Honey
Instructions
- Brew a big pot of tea (so you can make more).
- In another pot, heat up 1/2 cup milk on the double boiler. Add 1 shot whiskey, cinnamon, sweetener, and any other ingredients you like. Stir until warm then pour into a heat-proof cup and serve.*
*You can also serve this drink cold!
