💀Tricks, treats, and cocktails 🍬🍸


Hello Reader!

Halloween is right around the corner. It doesn’t need to mean elaborate costumes or throwing a full-blown party. Sometimes all it takes to make the night feel festive is a spooky sip and the right playlist.

Happy haunting,

Here are two of my favorite low-effort ways to turn an ordinary night into a little celebration: [Dip + chips] → retro, salty, and always a crowd-pleaser. [2 ingredient lemon cocktails] → citrusy, festive, and so simple you’ll wonder...
