It's Spooky Season!
It’s Spooky Season! Get into the Halloween spirit by brewing up these witchy Yolo Rum Halloween cocktail recipes! We’ve conjured up twists on old classics and made a new signature drink, “The Yolo Pumpkin Smash,” created by Mixologist Frank Camel.
Yolo Rum Pumpkin Smash
The Pumpkin Smash is a frothy egg white cocktail with a fall taste that will wake the dead. Serve any of our other three festive horrors over a small piece of dry ice to cast a swirling fog over your drink- be sure to wait for the ice to melt completely or serve from a punch bowl as the dry ice will burn you if it comes into contact with skin. We’re being pretend gruesome here; we don’t need any actual blisters added to your zombie makeup.
These recipes are for single servings but can be adjusted for full party punch bowl size.
