Halloween is just around the corner. Thanks to seasonal pop-up costume shops and last week’s issue of the Weekly, your makeup and haunted house visits are all set. Now the real question: What will you be drinking?

The key to a successful All Hallows’ Eve of Vegas debauchery is endurance. He who fails to plan, plans to fail. So unless you want to pull a Cinderella, head to Tabu and quench your thirst from dusk till dawn with the Black Magic Martini ($12). This enchantingly simple cocktail designed by head bartender Matt Nichols requires no mixers. Stoli Vanil melts into Patron XO to create a velvety chocolate-coffee medley. Top with a cherry and you’ve got adult cocktail candy—all treat, no trick.
