With Halloween on a Monday night this year, you will surely want to celebrate a little early over this weekend. Grown-up drinks a la candy corn are sure to be a hit whether you are hosting a party or relaxing and getting in the spirit. For a crowd, try mixing up some favorites by the batch such as vodka cranberry topped with sparkling cider or orange drinks for pumpkin color with a fruity flavor. Recipe courtesy of Stoli Vodka.
