3. Trick or Treat Latte
This latte is a little bit sweet and a little bit salty, just like any good trick-or-treating session! Mix maple syrup and pecans into a latte for a drink worthy of a chilly fall day.
4. Frightful Fire Cocktail
If you’re looking for an adult Halloween coffee drink, this flaming Spanish cocktail will knock your socks off! Turn the lights down low, pull out the candles, and get ready to impress your guests.
5. Bloody Beet Latte
The rest of the year, our beet latte is a cheerful shade of pink. But when Halloween rolls around, we recommend adding a little extra beet powder (or red food coloring) to turn this healthy latte into something fit for your favorite vampires.

Coffee punch is an amazing drink to serve at any party. Rich, creamy, and caffeinated, this combination of coffee and ice cream is to die for. Speaking of dying, you can always dye your ice cubes red or throw in some gummy eyeballs for an extra ghoulish party drink!
