Nightmare on Elm Street may have scared you straight as a kid, but the Sonesta ArtBar’s version will concoct better memories. As spooky as delicious, the Nightmare on Mark Street is made with rum, melon liqueur, pineapple juice and sprite. Visually, it mirrors lime green slime. The simple syrup “blood” and added gummy worms make this scary, sweet treat a must-try this Halloween. 16 S. 18th St., 215.825.6703, sonesta.com

The Twizzle at Continental Midtown

If you grew up loving this sweet red licorice treat, Continental Midtown’s The Twizzle may be the candy cocktail for you. Inspired by chewy twists, the boozy bevvie features a citrus vodka base with strawberry and lemon flavors. To add to the appeal, the drink is then topped off with a Twizzler twist garnish. 1801 Chestnut St., 215.567.1800, continentalmidtown.com

Kenz O’Lantern at Philadelphia Brewing Company

If you’re looking for your candy on the side, take a trip to Philadelphia Brewing Company and try out their newest Halloween-themed beer. A dark ale that tastes just like pumpkin pie, the Kenz O’Lantern is served with a shot glass of candy corn. 2440 Frankford Ave., 215.4272739, philadelphiabrewing.com
