We know the holiday parties are about the commence and there’s no reason why we can’t keep it horror-ific while the festivities are in full swing!

Every Tuesday, NightTide will be sharing a horror-themed cocktail recipe to honor our favorite characters, themes and films all through New Year’s Day! Next up: Don’t start nothin’, won’t be nothin’. If Billy Peltzer had just listened, we wouldn’t have to shed any GREMLIN BLOOD! Happy Holidays, kids!
