DAYS UNTIL HALLOWEEN:

6

DRINK:

Black Devil Martini

2 oz. Dark rum
1/2 oz. Dry vermouth
Black olive

Stir and strain into a chilled martini glass (rimmed with orange or red sugar), and garnish with an olive.

EAT:

Chipotle Deviled Eggs

Get in my belly deviled eggs! Aren’t these always the first to go at a party? This deviled-egg variation uses chipotle chiles and fresh cilantro for a little zingy Tex-Mex flair. OR, not into deviled eggs? Try this insanely complicated but oh-so-pretty Devil’s Food Cake with Flame Tuiles.

GO:

Get your best devilish costume together and go to Clup Pop’s Halloween Slasher/Monster Fest at Chop Suey, featuring Fist Fight, Joey Casio, The Knast, DJ’s Colby B/ and Glitterpants, and special performance by Bizerk, $8 before 11 p.m., $10 after, discount with costume. (18 and over, bar with I.D.)
