Trick-or-Treat (in One Shot!) with This Candy-Inspired Drink from Nadia G.

by Helin Jung

"Now, I love Halloween, but let's face it: spookalicious drinks usually suck," Nadia Giosia, host of the Cooking Channel's Nadia G.'s Bitchin' Kitchen, tells PEOPLE. "They're all looks, no substance. That's fine when choosing a boyfriend, but not with cocktails!"

And because every candy-loving grownup could use a kick in their treat, Giosia has created two drinks to spice up your Halloween: a Tootsie Roll shooter that takes you back to those trick-or-treating glory days in one delectable shot, and a caramel apple punch for your bitchin'est Halloween party.

Watch Nadia G. as she shows you how to make her super-simple Halloween cocktails and get the easy recipes below.
