Halloween 2019: Spooky cocktail recipes to match your freaky costumes

It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. The Celts had a belief that dead people could walk among the living at this time of the year. However, over the years, the festival became more about get-togethers than about witches and ghosts. Halloween parties became a common way to celebrate the festival. These parties had games, foods and festive costumes. These pumpkins are now practically iconic and synonymous to Halloween.
