Sugar Factory is well known for their Instagrammable oversized, colorful goblet cocktails. The list of celebrities that have dined at one of their 20 plus locations throughout the United States is VERY long. With Halloween soon approaching, the restaurant chain recently debuted a limited-time holiday-themed menu that you will want to check out!
The Halloween drink menu includes seven festive cocktail specials. The Vampire Kiss, a blend of coconut rum, strawberry nectar and champagne is perfect if you want a traditional-sized cocktail. The restaurant also has larger bowl cocktails that they are famous for. From the menu description, the Toxic Zombie is a “Spine-chilling mix of Voli Vodka, blood-red strawberry, and eerie pineapple juice, finished with creepy gummy body parts and gummy worms. One sip and you'll feel the undead awaken!” This cocktail is served in a large punch bowl placed in a plastic jack-o-lantern bucket….which, unfortunately, you can’t take home with you!
If you are visiting with a group, you might want to try the Witches Brew. This is a “bewitching blend of smooth tequila and zesty triple sec, tart cranberry and sweet pineapple juices. Topped off with a whole bottle of champagne, this potion is sure to cast a spell on your taste buds.” Served in a cauldron, this cocktail serves 4-6 guests.
Sugar Factory is ready for Halloween with these menu items
You’ll definitely need some food to soak up all of the alcohol! The Halloween menu has a variety of special appetizers including Swamp Monster Loaded Fries, Black Widow Pops (mac and cheese bites dipped in hot sauce) and Bat Wings (chicken wings).
Themed entrees include My Bloody Sliders (sliders served on blood red buns), Pumpkin Patch Waffle, Frankenstein Burger, Monster Mash Pancakes and Spooky Skull Penne Alfredo.
Be sure to save room for dessert. The Skull Island Sundae has five scoops of ice cream and is covered with a variety of toppings. However, if you have a crowd, you'll need to upgrade to the Pumpkin King Kong. This colossal sundae "includes 20 scoops of ice cream chaos, smothered in gummy candies, chocolates, marshmallows, cookie chunks, chocolate chips, sprinkles, chocolate and caramel sauces, donut, cupcake and much, much more. Served in a pumpkin so big, even our server Skeleton Sam struggles to carry it!” This is what sweet dreams are made of!
The cocktails and food not only have cute holiday-themed names, they also come presented in Halloween glassware and dishes. For example, the above-mentioned Spooky Skull Penne Alfredo is served in a skull bowl….and may be garnished with an eyeball (for decorative purposes only!).
Not only are there the new menu additions to crave, but the restaurants themselves have gone all-out with their decorations! Sugar Factory’s social media feeds show different restaurant locations decked out with pumpkins, skeletons, spider webs and more!
The Sugar Factory’s Halloween menu will be available all October long! Get in the holiday spirit with a stop at your local Sugar Factory restaurant for a spooky good time!
