Mmmm! ...Brain slushies?
Drinks are a great way to express yourself simply and deliciously in a culinary environment. They're also a fabulous way to ensure that the theme of a party is perfectly pulled off! A golf party would be perfectly complimented by Arnold Palmers. Christmas parties never seem the same without eggnog. And Halloween- well, folks, here's our chance to get REALLY creative!

Simply look to the original recipes below, and be "whisked" away to creepy-crawly culinary creations! (Notice: All recipes are [c] 2006 to me. You are in no way allowed to redistribute these recipes and may not use them for any commercial purpose without written permission.)

• Dead Man's Hand Punch
• Dracula's Parfait
• Spook Slushies

Warning:
These recipes are as kid-friendly as possible, but THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR PARENTAL SUPERVISION AND INVOLVEMENT! Please, keep a close eye on your children while cooking. Make sure they don't go near the stove, hot plates, sharp knives or other dangerous cooking utensils like mandolines, microplanes, graters, veggie peelers, etc. Children under the age of five should not be involved in any of the cooking because of the higher chances they can get hurt, but never fear! You can involve them and make them feel like they are a part of the activities by having them sit at a safe distance and asking them questions about what you are doing or having them get you things like cup measures, canned goods, and spoons.
