Halloween is no longer just about trick-or-treating. For many, it’s the perfect excuse to go out with friends, put on a costume (or skip it), and raise a glass to the spookiest night of the year. If you don’t have plans for October 31, we’ve got an idea.
Where to Celebrate Halloween with Friends
A great Halloween night comes down to a few simple things: delicious food to share, drinks to toast with, and an atmosphere where nobody judges you for showing up dressed as a vampire. Add a little spooky flair, and even better.
The 7 Deadly Sins Shots: The Perfect Halloween Plan
At La Vicenta Tezontle, you’ll find the Shots de los 7 Pecados, and there’s no better night to try them. Everyone can choose the sin that best matches their personality:
- Lujuria (Lust): Mezcal Unión, crème de cassis, and cranberry juice. An intense red color that’s perfect for the season.
- Gula y Avaricia (Gluttony and Greed): Smirnoff, Baileys, evaporated milk, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and a marshmallow. Dessert in a shot glass.
- Pereza (Sloth): Bacardí Coco, coconut cream, evaporated milk, and cinnamon.
- Ira (Wrath): Bacardí Mango Chile, pineapple, mango, lime, Tabasco, chamoy, Tajín, and a spicy gummy candy.
- Envidia (Envy): Tequila Plata, strawberry liqueur, Tabasco, chamoy, Miguelito, and Pica Fresa candy.
- Soberbia (Pride): Puerto de Indias Strawberry Gin, red wine, and strawberry liqueur.
A Game for Your Table
Before ordering, have everyone guess which sin the others will choose. Whoever gets it wrong buys the next round. That’s how the night gets interesting… without any scares.
What to Eat on Halloween Night
For sharing, go with Nachos Vicenta, Boneless, and Esquite Fuego. If the night goes on, Quesabirrias or a Tomahawk in the center of the table are always a winning choice.
Tips for October 31
- Book ahead of time. It’s one of the busiest nights of the year.
- If you’re wearing costumes, take your pictures before your makeup starts to smudge.
- And as always, if you’re drinking, have a designated driver or take a taxi home.
