If you’re looking for the perfect cocktails to serve for your upcoming Halloween party, look no further as Derek Ramsay shares his favorite Tanduay rhum concoctions that are sure to liven up your virtual get-together with family, colleagues, or friends.

 “We’ve been through a tough year, and we are still doing our best to cope with the current situation. This is why it’s important to celebrate once in a while, to remind ourselves of the good things that we have in our life like our loved ones,” said the talented actor.

 

The cocktails are easy to do, Derek assured, and can be made using ingredients that are available in stores.
