Throwing A Halloween Party? Then Here Are Some Cocktails To Get Spooky With

Sponsored by Dead Man's Fingers.

The spookiest day of the year is here and even if you're not heading along to a Halloween party tonight, chances are you'll be getting kooky at one on the weekend. 

Dead Man’s Fingers is the newest rum brand to land on the Australian market and to mark this year's Halloween festivities, they've come up with two special cocktail recipes.

"Dead Man’s Fingers is on a mission to break free from the stereotypes and conventions usually associated with rum," said the brand's Lawrence Williamson. 

"This means no pirates, no parrots, and no palm trees. We’re passionate about doing things differently and we believe Australia is ready to come along for the ride!"

Kicking off with the original Spiced Rum, Dead Man's Fingers are dropping their Coconut Rum and Coffee Rum next month.
