ON THE MENU:
Dream Weaver Milk & Boba Bar
Dates: Available daily through Halloween
Location: The Spine
Treat:

• BEWITCHED BOBA

A Halloween treat that transforms classic trick-or-treat flavors—dark chocolate, pumpkin cheesecake purée, and tapioca pearls—into an enchanted experience, finished with candy corn and graham cracker accents.

Oddwood
Dates: Available daily through Halloween
Location: Oddwood
Halloween Cocktails:

• IV DRIP  – “A prescription for danger.” 

A macabre take on the tiki classic, this cocktail blends light and dark rum with triple sec, fresh lime juice and a touch of orgeat almond syrup. Finished with blood-red coloring and served in a realistic blood bag, it is as chilling in presentation as it is refreshing in taste — smooth, citrusy and just sweet enough. This is one transfusion guests won’t want to turn down.

• Poisoned Dram

A dark seasonal twist on the classic whiskey sour, this cocktail blends whiskey with the warm spice of ginger liqueur, a splash of lemon juice, and rich homemade pineapple demerara syrup. Served over a large ice sphere in a rocks glass, it arrives with a syringe of pineapple demerara—your personal “poison” to inject into the drink. Equal parts curse and cure, it’s a wicked elixir that dares you to take another sip.

• La Lorita

Dark, floral and eternal, this hauntingly beautiful riff on the margarita fuses tequila with smoky ancho chile, balanced by the tartness of pomegranate and fresh lime juice. A whisper of elderflower syrup adds floral brightness, while black coloring cloaks the drink in shadow. Served in a graceful Nick & Nora glass and crowned with a sprig of singed baby’s breath, it lingers like a ghostly legend—sorrowful, unforgettable, and undeniably a drink of the damned.

• Rotten To The Core

Sweet on the surface but wicked underneath, this devilishly bright cocktail layers crisp apple vodka with fresh-pressed apple cider and lush pear purée, sharpened by a touch of lemon juice and finished with a shimmer of gold glitter. Served in a coupe and crowned with a delicate dehydrated apple chip, it captures the essence of autumn’s most tempting fruit—ripe, radiant, and just a little sinister. Golden, juicy, and wicked to the last sip.
