Ocean Prime's signiture Berries & Bubbles cocktail gets a spooky makeover.
This Halloween, there are plenty of treats for adults -- spooky gelato, Halloween-themed ice cream, limited-time cruffins -- but cocktails inspired by the holiday are the most spirited (sorry, couldn't resist).
Sip your way through the holiday weekend with these Halloween-inspired drinks at four Philly restaurants.
The name might be cute, but this signature cocktail is receiving a spooky makeover for Halloween. Bartenders will add dry ice to the drink, transforming it into a bubbling, smoking witch's brew.
Ocean Prime's Berries & Bubbles cocktail is made from Belvedere Citrus Vodka, Crème de Cassis, Chandon Brut and fresh berries.

Mother Rock 'Liquid Skin' orange wine at Tria Cafe West.
Thom Carroll/PhillyVoice
This fall, Tria is serving up "orange" wine. Since orange is one of the go-to colors for Halloween, it's a subtle but delicious way to celebrate the holiday.
"Orange" wine might seem strange, but the hue is achieved through a natural process. White grape varieties are fermented with the skins on, or "macerated,” the same way red wines obtain color and texture. To keep it simple: the longer it macerates, the darker the hue.
Many times "orange" wines have a nuttiness or cinnamon spice to them. Tria has a few varieties.
