GUEST POST by Vanessa Morgan (HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN DRINKS)

As you all know Halloween is my favorite holiday and one of the reasons for that is all the fun parties you get to go to. I am so happy that author Vanessa Morgan dropped by to give us some of her favorite beverage recipes. I can’t wait to try one at my next party. And now here is Vanessa.

Want to celebrate Halloween with some rich and comforting pumpkin treats? The following drinks add warmth and zest to cold October nights.
 

Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur

 

Pumpkin pie spice, rich vanilla, brown sugar and other Halloween-related flavors are combined into a suave cream liqueur. A perfect bedtime sip on a windy autumn evening, the Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur from Heaven Hill Distilleries comes into 750ml bottles at 12,5%.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trick or Treat Pumpkin Coffee Latte

 

I usually never drink coffee, but I gladly make an exception when there’s pumpkin involved. The cute Halloween package of the Trick or Treat Pumpkin Coffee Latte alone is enough to recapture the spirit of Halloween. The taste of pumpkin is rather discreet, so if you’re a pumpkin addict like me, you might want to add a little extra pumpkin pie spice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three Lakes Pumpkin wine

 

Three Lakes prides itself on having made the first and only wine entirely made out of pie pumpkins. It was originally conceived for the October Pumpkin Fest and has become so in-demand that it is now sold year-round. The Pumpkin Wine has a smooth, semi-sweet touch similar to a traditional Chardonnay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bigelow Pumpkin Spice Tea

 

Bigelow has a delightful collection of tea flavors to suit every season and holiday. Their Eggnog Tea is a real classic and so is their Pumpkin Spice Tea – a mouthwatering mix of black tea, natural pumpkin flavors, cinnamon, licorice root, clover and ginger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa

 

Pumpkin spice hot cocoa has never been commercialized as such (at least not to my knowing), but it’s a rich, round Halloween treat that you can easily prepare at home. Heat a cup of almond milk and mix with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add pumpkin pie spice to taste for a smooth and satisfying hot drink that will warm the hearts of friends and family.

 

Thanks so much Vanessa for taking the time to share these great recipes with us, and bringing  some festive fun our way. Find out more about Vanessa’s spooktacular  work below.  
 
 
 

About Vanessa

You probably love being frightened on Halloween, so why not try one or more of Vanessa Morgan’s creepy books as they’ll guarantee a good scare for the nights leading up to Halloween. Vanessa Morgan is a screenwriter and novelist and has been called the ‘female version of Stephen King’.

Drowned Sorrow by Vanessa Morgan is the story of a remote New England village where water has become a supernatural element that can think… and kill. An overprotective mother discovers its secret, but by the time she realizes that her daughter’s life is in danger, it might already be too late. Drowned Sorrow was inspired by horror movies such as The Ring, The Wicker Man, Dark Water and Dagon. It has been called the scariest novel of the year, so be careful what you are getting yourself into.












The Strangers Outside: Two sisters return to their remote holiday cabin after a day at the seaside, but little do they know they’re being surrounded. Soon after their arrival, the girls will come face to face with the strangers outside. When the assailants make their intentions known, things take a shockingly terrible turn and an intense battle for survival will begin. The Strangers Outside has recently been turned into a film starring Pierre Lekeux and Iulia Alexandra Nastase.
