Neil Patrick Harris mixes up the perfect bubly Halloween cocktail

Ready for a bubly Halloween cocktail? Neil Patrick Harris has mixed up two cocktails are perfect for your spooky celebration.

Neil Patrick Harris and his family are known for their creative family Halloween costumes. Since Halloween is just as much fun for the adults as much as the kids, Halloween cocktails are quite popular. This year, Harris has partnered with bubly, the popular PepsiCo sparkling water to create two festive cocktails for the spooky celebration.

Harris recommends to Halloween cocktails. Both cocktails have very different styles. While both cocktails reference the spooky season, the flavors are very different. From bright to sweet, one of these cocktails will surely appeal to someone at your Halloween party.

Bright and tart: Frankenlime Fizz

Longing for a tart, fizzy Halloween sip? The Frankenlime Fizz is a bright, refreshing cocktail for the spooky season. The combination of lime, vodka and ginger beer is slightly reminiscent of a Moscow mule. The slight spice from the ginger beer plays off the tartness of the lime bubly.

While Harris’ version suggests a couple of dashes of green food dye, this cocktail is just as tasty without the color. Whether you want to channel your inner monster or just want a refreshing sipper, this cocktail will keep your Halloween celebration festive.

Comforting spice, Apples n’ SINamon

For many people, Halloween is the perfect time to celebrate fall flavors. Apples and spice are predominate during the fall. In this Halloween cocktail, Harris balances spice and sweet for a comforting sipper.

The Apples n’ SINamon isn’t one of the deadly sins. Instead is a lovely alternative to that warm apple cider. This version, with the apple bubly, is slightly less sweet. While this version suggests a spoonful of maple syrup, you can customize the cocktail with a little less syrup if you prefer a less sweet version.

Also, I would recommend a high quality maple syrup. A better quality maple syrup will make the cocktail flavors more rounded out.

Lastly, one serving method is to use carved out apples. While this idea makes for a beautiful Instagram picture, it can be a little ambitious for the home mixologist.

Another option is to use a pretty glass and garnish with some cut apple pieces. For example, the Microplane Bar Tool can help cut expert garnishes for any cocktail.
