Stir Up a Frightful Halloween

Beware of the strange brew in the black goblet. You never know what potion may be handed you!

Black glass goblets and old bottles are great props for Halloween parties. They're mysterious, spooky, and enhance the party fun. Etch goblets & bottles with clever wording, like Vampire Blood, Eye of Newt, Poison, etc, and with eerie designs to go with it, like skulls, bats, witches. You can put a different fright word on each goblet so the guests will know which glass is theirs. Fill the bottles with your favorite cocktail mix, then place them on the bar and dare your guests to try them. After the party, let your guests take the bottles and goblets home as favors. It will be a Halloween party they won't soon forget.

Use bottles that look old fashioned (like the type that came from late 1800's or early 1900's), but if you plan on putting food or drinks in them, make sure you use NEW bottles, because you can't be sure what was inside the old ones. Try to pick bottles with unusual shapes, colors and sizes.
