Halloween is mid-next week, so that means this weekend is prime time for celebrating the holiday in style. Costume parties will be aplenty – perhaps you’re hosting one yourself – and the only thing worse than not dressing up is not having delicious drinks to make guests happy. Thanks to Jim Beam, we have four tasty cocktail recipes for you made with spirits perfect for Halloween — Jacob’s Ghost and Devil’s Cut.
