Be at One never let us down on the cocktail scene across their venues at Brindleyplace and New Street. They’re giving us four Halloween inspired concoctions to choose from, available until the 5^th November. Channel your inner Bat Bitch Energy with their rum-laced, blood orange and lime cocktail. Add some fire (and a few mixed berries) and you’ve got yourself an irresistible Bite Me.  Or perhaps you fancy a punchy passionfruit flavoured Dr  op Dead Gorgeous? Not a basic witch? Then opt for the Venemous Vixen, a twist on a marg complete with a syringe. 

The Slug and Lettuce 

The Slug and Lettuce are really treating us this Halloween with three sweet themed cocktails, available until the 31st October. They’re offering mixes ranging from an electric blue Bubblegum Burst to a tequila- based Fizzy Lifting Fix. But the real star of the show? The Golden Ticket- a moreish chocolate espresso martini, topped with cream, glitzy gold dust and even an edible spoon. 

Tattu 

A wicked spell has been cast over Tattu this Halloween, turning the once romantic cherry blossoms into a chilling eerie green. Their Skullduggery brunch event is £47.50pp and features an extravagant three course meal complete with a bottomless Trick O’ Treat Package. There are four spooky serves to choose from ranging from the Witches Brew to the Phantom Pumpkin.
