Wicked Chocolate Pumpkin Smash Cocktail

I interrupt this normally family-friendly foodie conversation to talk about wicked cocktails and what they'll make you do. Dancing naked on a bar to the song Monster Mash is one such wicked possibility.

What is it about this magic potion that could cause that to happen? Um...liquor. Lots and lots of liquor but in a sweet, unassuming sort of way. Just a creamy, chocolate concoction with hints of pumpkin and spice. Nothing to worry about, right? Except....

All that sweet, delicious, booziness hides the power of this drink. It's so easy to have a second and a third. And, before you know it, the song Monster Mash comes on. Bwahahahaha

Before we start dancing, though, let's discuss this sugared rim because it is stunning. I mean, how can you even resist a drink that looks that sparkly good? The shiny orange and black crystals are made by Dell Cove Spices, my favorite source for rimming sugars because the beauty and color variety is outstanding. Check out their whole line and get yourself some of the Halloween sugars . Then drink this wickedness with someone you'd like to get to know a lot better. Bwahahahaha. Cheers!
