Commune with the Spirits!
It's that SPOOKY time of year again....the perfect time to commune with the SPIRITS! And I'm not just talking apparitions here.....I'm talking about the SPIRITS you pour into your glass! Gone are the days of those banal bottles and boring booze....as something far more WICKED, this way comes! Check out these frighteningly fabulous finds, certain to 'Raise the Dead' at this year's Halloween Bash! Best of all....when the bottle runs dry, just wash it out and add it to your Halloween Decor. I'd be first in line to buy one of each, except for one small problem....I can't seem to find anywhere that these diabolical beauties are actually sold! So what gives? Are they real products, or just superbly sinister graphic campaigns? If anyone out there in HalloweenTown happens to know where we can lay our slimy lil' claws on these specimens, please do share the info with us!
Okay, so here's the selections...
If you're into conjuring up the dead, then 'Evil Spirits Vodka' is the perfect choice, with it's ominously dark Ouija Board graphics, book and planchet, summoning spirits should be no problem for you.
If you prefer the day after Halloween better, then you can celebrate Dia de los Muertas in colorful style with a few of these decorative Day of the Dead Skull bottles from 'Kah Tequila'. They're the perfect festive decanters to drink up and then leave out for display!
For those of us whose favorite icon of Halloween is the great Jack O'Lantern...there is something special just for us as well. Check out these 'Pumpkin Face Ultra Premium Dominican Rums'...Yum! Tasty rums in the coolest Grimacing Jack decanters ever! And again...a libation and decoration all rolled into one...can't beat that!
And last, but certainly not least is the Oh So Spooky, 'Frozen Ghost Vodka'. I'm a sucker for clever packaging anyway, and this bottle with a vapory grey ghost trapped inside is just the slickest. But that's not all...what would a Frozen Ghost Vodka be without an accompanying Ghost story, hmmm? Lucky for you and I, there just so happens to be one ripe for the reading...and it's just the thing to share on the Halloween Countdown. So before you head off to your nearest Liquor Store in search of one of these fine Halloween 'Spirits'....take a moment to read "The Legend of the Frozen Ghost"!

The Legend of the Frozen Ghost
This is a story of people whose names are lost to time, set in a
location which is a sworn secret, for reasons that will become clear at
the end of this tale.
Generations ago, a family in Western Canada had a proud but small farm. They raised crops and livestock so plentifully, they outproduced all the other farms in the colony. Soon, people began to realize that the spring that watered their land was the sweetest and purest in the area and was thought to be the source of their success.
A jealous neighbor schemed to divert their water to his own property. Stealing onto their land one bitterly cold winter night, he was confronted by the farm’s owner, known only as Tobias. The neighbor struck him with his shovel, knocking him unconscious into a pond near the mouth of the spring. The water thief completed his work, diverting some of the spring’s output to his property by means of the underground channel he dug.
Tobias’s body was later discovered in the ice that froze the pond deep on that frigid winter night.
No one knew how he died. The secret was safe until the neighbor began to report a strange presence of Tobias that haunted his every step. A presence that ultimately drove him mad. He confessed everything as he was driven in a prison cart to the colony’s sanitarium.
The farm has changed hands many times over the centuries, and now that same spring’s water is used to produce Frozen Ghost Vodka. That pure water gives Frozen Ghost its unparalleled smooth, crisp character, even before it is distilled six times for the ultimate purity.
We won’t reveal the spring’s location for your own protection. For on the rare occasions that a visitor has attempted to approach the site, an undeniable chill overtakes the stranger, along with a dark foreboding that a more dangerous fate quickly approaches. It is said that Tobias is still keeping watch over his spring.
So don’t let your curiosity overtake you and tempt you to search for the water’s source. Just be satisfied that you can raise a glass to the one who is watching over the pure taste of Frozen Ghost Vodka, the supernatural super-premium.
