I call it adult trick or treating. Taking your favorite candy and turning it into an alcoholic beverage. And this cherry tootsie pop drink does not disappoint. It tastes just like eating the lollipop but without chewing the tootsie roll center.
The adult trick or treating theme isn’t new here on the blog. If you’re up for some fun, I’ve got several “candy” cocktails for your Halloween. Always a favorite are these candy bar shots. Or this snickers martini. Or one of my favorites (because I’m in a huge peanut butter alcohol phase) is this reese’s martini. I’ve also got tootsie roll shots.
