Spiced Apple Cider and Halloween recap

One of my favorite things about Fall is warming up with a hot beverage. Mulled wine, hot tea, apple cider, coffee, etc.  I like my apple cider spiced with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and the like.  Trader Joe's Spiced Apple Cider has been my go to cider for years, and it is only $2.99 for 2 qts.  It has the perfect flavor right out of the jug but it also pairs well with rum or bourbon.  For our annual Halloween party I heat it up in a crock pot and float shrunken apple heads in it. We have fun putting spooky labels on different spirits for our guests try.

This year we decorated our front and side yard for trick-or-treaters and had a blast.  We had a snack bar of nachos, popcorn, and apple cider - and candy for the neighborhood to enjoy.  I gave the parents a shot a rum in their cider too.  We are planning a haunted maze for next year!

I hope you all had a safe and spooky Halloween.  Here are few photos from our Halloween party the Saturday before Halloween.  You can see more on our Facebook Group Page.

Our guests really out did themselves this year at our Halloween party.  This seemed to be the year of comic book characters!

Super Man, The Hulk, Bat Woman, Iron Man, Wolverine

The Joker and Harley Quinn

All Hallows Eve is the biggest holiday and party at The Tipsy Terrier Pub.  We go all out and try to add new spooky scenes for our guests to experience.  Today is the day that we take down all of our decor and props down from multiple attics (house and pub) and make sure that everything is in working order.  Last year we did this at the end of September because we took a vacation to Savannah and Charleston in early October.  This year we are feeling like slackers.

I was looking at pictures from Halloweens past and found that I have not done a good job of documenting our house of horrors.  Most pics are of the awesome costumes that our guests wear.  I put together slide shows for each party which include pics from past parties and fun pictures that support the theme.  This year I hope to capture more of the little details to share with you!

Here are a few from the past four years
