6 FABULOUS & Easy Fall Cocktails
Celebrating Halloween by hosting a party? Decorating is time-consuming, so you don’t want your food and drinks to be as well.
It’s easy to set up a bar for your next party. You’ll need Vodka, Rum, Scotch, Bourbon, Tequilla, White & Red wine and an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages.
Mixers should consist of cranberry juice, sour mix, club soda, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprint and tonic water.
I also made in advance a carafe of Blu Martinis, Ghoulish Goblin Shooters, Pumpkin Pie Martinis and Ransom Note Martinis. I placed them in 32- ounce carafes in the large beverage bucket for convenience. The Jello Shots should be kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
A cooler with ice is next to the bar. A small scoop is handy, so people don’t pick up the ice with their hands.
Other essentials are a shaker, fresh fruit (lemons, limes, and oranges), some mint, a knife, a small cutting board for slicing the fruit, glasses, straws and napkins.

Headed to Charleston?
I’m a creature of habit; if I’m in town for just one night, this would be my routine: Halls Chophouse for dinner, Proof for drinks, and last but not least, Carmella’s for dessert. You can’t go wrong with any of these downtown Charleston establishments.
Halls Chophouse Charleston is my favorite location — always friendly people and staff. Even if you dine alone, the bar will entertain you, and your bar neighbors will offer you a taste of their expensive wine! Or maybe I just got lucky.
Proof Charleston
If walking down King Street towards Calhoun, check out the Marion Square Fountain.
Across the street from Halls is Proof, an intimate craft cocktail bar where BB will mix up one or more of the best cocktails in Charleston. Try the Bourbon Gold Rush; it’s fabulous. You won’t be disappointed.
Carmella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar Charleston
Have a sweet tooth? I do. Then you’ll love Carmella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar. Need help? Just ask Jason.
With locations on Main Street in Greenville and in the heart of downtown Charleston, Carmella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar combines generationally tested, gourmet recipes with a regional flair.

Felix Cocktails Charleston
Trying a ‘Last Word’ has been on my bucket list of cocktails since my friend recommended one. I’ve also had a fascination with the purple-colored Empress Gin. Not because I’m a gin drinker but because my favorite color is purple, and purple-colored cocktails are so cool.
So when I stopped at Felix the last time I was in Charleston, I asked Lane to make me a Last Word, but I wanted her to use Empress Gin. Felix supports local businesses, so they had Nippitaty Aurora Gin instead of Empress.
Empress and Aurora Gins have a hint of floral, with Aurora getting the purple color from butterfly pea flowers. Floral flavored Gin is not typically used to make a Last Word, but I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of this concoction.
Thank you Lane!
