Garnish with fresh blackberries or—if you’re feeling playful—a gummy spider dangling on the rim. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66dce1cc0ff4f423ce07e574/2795056a-8c76-40cf-8eea-c0c703f05b18/unsplash-image-h7dl6upIOOs.jpg Blog - Spooky Sips - October Drink of the Month - Final Sip So this Halloween, skip the predictable pumpkin spice and serve up something hauntingly glamorous.
