I also found some super long plastic straws that were the perfect length to make it all the way to the bottom of my Halloween candy pail. Am I right?! I, however, looked at that same exact Halloween bucket and thought to myself… Halloween Bucket Cocktail!Īnd that was when the idea was officially born! To really hone in on the Halloween theme, I purchased some glow sticks and plastic spiders while at Dollar Tree. Most people look at those $1 Halloween buckets from Dollar Tree and see them for what they are: vessels to carry the kiddos’ Halloween treats. Last month, while making a trip to Dollar Tree for fall seasonal decor, I came across those cute Halloween candy buckets they have every year. It wasn’t until I started switching my mindset from summer mode to fall mode, that I had the epiphany of how I could transform my sand bucket cocktail into something different and even more amazing. I’ve been waiting for that perfect opportunity to take my basic summer bucket drink recipe and transform it into something even more epic! I’ve had the idea in the back of my brain since this summer. I knew I wanted to try and recreate that sand bucket drink idea immediately after making it. Just take one look at it and I bet you can see why…it’s just a beauty! That rum bucket cocktail literally went crazy on the Internet this summer. This Halloween Bucket Cocktail is a spin-off of one of my most popular cocktail recipes to date on the blog… the Sand Bucket Cocktail. I’m lovingly referring to it as my Halloween Bucket Cocktail AKA the Ultimate Halloween cocktail recipe!

HALLOWEEN BUCKETS HOW TO
So the blue Halloween bucket was merely one mother’s idea on how to passively inform a community that her adult son with autism would be trick-or-treating in the area on Halloween.
Really what I read was about the teal pumpkins and food allergy children – but why not blue pumpkins for autism!” says Lee. “I thought I had read something on Facebook about it. The idea of the blue bucket came from Plumer’s friend, Lisa Lee, who says every year BJ and Plumer struggle with people being “not so nice while trick or treating.” She knows how much BJ loves Halloween so when she saw the bucket at Walmart, she bought it for him. Plumer told television station WJLA that she got her idea from a friend, Lisa Lee, who was inspired by the Food Allergy Research & Education’s “ Teal Pumpkin Project“: The Halloween guide from Autism Speaks suggests that autistic trick-or-treaters could wear signs or badges to inform their neighbors about their condition: The “blue bucket” is not mentioned in either of the Halloween Guides from Autism Speaks or the Autism Society, and when we reached out to the Autism Society for more information about the practice, they told us that they were unaware of it. While Plumer’s idea may be a good one, the “blue bucket” for trick-or-treaters is not a universal symbol for autism, and parents of autistic trick-or-treaters should not expect this form of candy carrier to impart any meaningful information to their communities. Most of this publicity glossed over that a significant aspect of the original idea was not just to alert neighbors to the presence of an autistic person on Halloween, but to inform them not to be put off by an adult trick-or-treater.
