when it comes to hosting guests this
Halloween our next guest says there's
only one way to get it startled and
that's by tricking out the
ever-so-popular bar car what other way
you're gonna serve these cocktails check
that out from booze to spooky treats
blogger Lauren bazoo new with toast from
the most shares how to add the glamour
and the creepiest of holidays for
Halloween I mean we're getting there but
our spread at home does not know Lauren
is really chic and a lot of stores sell
these vintage stores that can be really
expensive you can also get them from
thrift stores some yes so if you go to
your local goodwill or you know a Tri
City resale you can stumble upon great
finds I wasn't able to stumble upon it
because I think Kourtney was hunting and
she probably beat me to know you can
definitely pick it up at the goodwill I
personally like to go to world market or
go to a home goods or decor store and I
pick them up you can just search online
I try to stay underneath you know 150
dollars on how I expense if you want to
go but you can also go to Ikea or Target
target has a more economical brand they
do for real why you shouldn't have some
type of bar cart in your home and
obviously we're focusing on Halloween
today but these could be repurposed for
Kourtney's summer pool parties
Thanksgiving Christmas but you can also
use it for a kid's party and put not
drinks but you could put their kids
drinks on it or candy stations
interactive entertaining spot as you can
see we have you know the cocktails going
it's just a fun little you know like a
photobooth you can take a picture behind
it right I love it okay this is super
cute the way that you have this set up
of course for Halloween and you've got
the dry ice happening in this dress so
we're gonna start with the decor of
course you want to have a good little
display like I said you have your drink
so right up the front but at the bottom
you kind of want to keep it bottom heavy
we have our bottled sodas our jones
sodas you want to go with the theme so
we went with the poison green apple some
blood orange we have little apothecary
jars where you can go online and
labels that says poison and witches brew
and stuff like that so you know just to
kind of get into that atmosphere and is
the idea here that it's a DIY drink
station that's why you have the recipe
oh yes you definitely can have a DIY
drink station if you had a larger cart
or let's say you don't have it on wheels
but you have some type of bar top you
can go ahead and pre make just like a
little sample so they can create their
own drink
that's that fun I guess how would I say
it like a thing for them to do right
there okay are you gonna show us how to
make this poison I am but first we have
the blood orange rum punch and I have a
sample for you guys here yes so we have
blood orange orange juice we have some
black berry soda oh that's good we have
some rum I like to try to use rum all
year round so this is a good excuse
right I like you you like me on the
blood orange that's a that's a cute
little theme in keeping with the
Halloween my news the blackberry kind of
like the brain yeah I didn't even think
Courtney oh yeah okay I have two boys
that's good I like that decomposing
already at the brain okay we're gonna
move on we have the poison apple
cocktail I mean I saw that smoking we
did I'm gonna have you sip on I'm gonna
actually get you started okay something
you can just grab from your grocery
store right but I actually went to h-e-b
and I picked up a pack of dry ice
I love the sound it for you I know you
gotta be careful to not handle it with
your bare hands right correct and then
oh yeah it does make no cool gurgling so
yeah a potion
Derek I'm gonna have you make your own
are you ready okay absolutely
so what we have we have some apple vodka
we have some sour apple schnapps we have
some lemon juice and my favorite element
is having lesser dust it kind of gives
that concoction like a post kind of
glowing yes a little bit of glowing a
little shame luster dust master does a
lot of Baker's here in Houston I mean
all over they use it to kind of give a
shimmer effect when you put it in
liquids it gives this very much
kind of neon yeah boy oh so I've
already prepped you with the luster dust
we're gonna go ahead and have you pour
in your schnapps and your green apple
and you've pre measured these right okay
so here is my joining this in that order
it's all gonna little lime juice yeah oh
yeah and that shimmer dust does give it
sort of an iridescent eerie feeling have
you shake it just a little bit this is a
cocktail shaker you tell you this is so
good okay okay and we're gonna pour it
in your glass pour it into oh so I did
some exactly so you want to have a
different type of okay you've got a
different kind of types of containers
it's fun like a concoction we're gonna
top you off with some green apple okay
it's much more interesting than just a
regular tumbler there absolutely it's so
good and I like the paper straws as a
little touch to you find those at a
party store you can find a big pack on
and you can find it on the dollar
section too at Target oh yeah yeah I
have them all over the house in laymen's
house but you know that was a silly
thing I do not have straws all over my
no judgment no oh my gosh what's
happening to put some dry ice thing you
are so we can go a little dry it doesn't
matter drinking it right long as you do
not like try to chew on it pair of
pliers it's good okay well he's sipping
what else is net what are we doing
another way to reuse your bar cart like
you had mentioned with kids instead of
having drinks you can do it like a candy
bar station no way you are a Halloween
candy cart my favorite thing to do is
kind of create your own candy store so
you've gone into candy stores and you've
been overwhelmed right you've seen all
types of candy but it's good that they
have a method where you keep all your
chocolates in one area and right by
color and they have you know their
gummies in one area and we're tired on
time Lauren but I just want to point out
how you have decked out this bar cart
over on this side it's great to have
these little containers of candy here up
on the bar
down on the cart this just sort of
completes the little look so it's like a
perfectly curated little candy card
you've got going on we can put some more
these are great ideas Lauren and
