With Halloween on the horizon, city denizens are gladly letting their skeletons out of the closets into the front yards of their neat residential brownstones in the streets of NYC. Inspired by those extravagant decorations, we decided to do something unusual this year and asked our go-to expert of anything drinkable, John deBary, to create a non-alc sips & candy pairing guide — a treasure for those who want adult drinks but could use a little break from adulting. John took a stroll down memory lane and fused his sweet childhood memories with the extensive knowledge and experience he gained as a mixologist, bartender, and creator of the non-alcoholic botanical beverage brand Proteau. Sit back and get ready to catch this Halloween spirit with John’s Halloween spirits!
