As Halloween approaches, you may be asking if it’s safe to celebrate the holiday in the traditional way or if you should be finding alternatives to toast the spooky season.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that most traditional Halloween activities, such as costume parties and door-to-door trick-or-treating, are considered high risk. But we can still celebrate Halloween safely while socializing with a few of our quarantine friends.
The founder of the Louisville-based The Mocktail Project, Jesse Hawkins, has whipped up a couple of nonalcoholic concoctions to enjoy safely at home. Plus we gathered up a few other non and alcoholic favorites from local mixologists perfect for the fall.
So drink these ghoulish brews from the safety of your home to capture the “spirit” of Halloween.
