Our neighborhood takes Halloween pretty seriously—every year we have a block party, where we get the kids a jumpy house, host games, have a big potluck and create an unimpeded experience for kids to ‘trick or treat.’  

Here are some of our favorite cocktails to keep your Summer vibes going strong.
