Josh Brandenburg, mixologist at Forty Four at Royalton Hotel in New York City, shakes up some Halloween-themed cocktails, so good they're scary.

Halloween might center on dressing up and eating as much candy as your stomach can handle, but that doesn't mean it's only a holiday for kids. Adults can have fun too. If you are throwing a party, make sure to entertain the over-21 crowd with some of these Halloween-themed drinks. Below you will find the drink recipes we featured in our video with Josh Brandenburg from Bar Forty Four at Royalton in New York City. Beware, they're so good they're scary.
