Whether you’re hosting the spookiest party on the block, a hair-raising movie marathon, or a trick-or-treat warmup for the kiddos, a Halloween-themed beverage bar is a great way to keep your guests and ghouls happy.

So, get your costumed festivities off to a hauntingly tasty start with a New Seasons twist on a few favorite fall beverages—including kid-friendly and adult options.

First, let’s talk about ingredients. Depending on your beverage of choice, the recipes below call for tea, chai, or cocoa. Use your go-to of choice, or try one of these local standouts:

Smith Teamaker
The Lord Bergamot tea from this beloved Portland institution is made with sustainably sourced ingredients for an elevated classic Earl Grey flavor.

Oregon Chai
The Original Concentrate is everything you want in a chai: It’s a little sweet, mildly spicy, and full of classic chai flavor. Plus, it’s extra easy to make—no steeping required.

Sillycow Farms
The Chocolate Truffle Hot Chocolate is just as rich and creamy as it sounds, and it’s made with non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients!

Now for the bubbling brews...
