Emergency First Responder: Whiskey Sour
This would be an umbrella term for firefighter, police officer, or paramedic. Although if you’re either a nurse or doctor, whiskey sour would be the perfect way to pre-game before the night starts. Whiskey sours are a mixture of whiskey, lemon juice, syrup, and an optional egg white, which combines to make a simply classic drink.

Angel/Devil: Tequila
This is also a simple yet can be a well-done costume, buy devil horns and wear red or buy a halo and wear white. Tequila alongside vodka is a basic alcohol that gets the pre-gaming job done. Be angelic or devilish this Halloween while drinking a margarita or taking some tequila shots.
Scarecrow: Beer
Scarecrows are made of straw to protect crops, so it only makes sense their drink of choice would be a beverage made from wheat. Make the pre-game fun by playing a classic drinking game such as beer pong or flip cup and accentuate that scarecrow look with a can or bottle of beer in hand.
Witch: Absinthe
Banned in multiple countries for its reaction, this drink is trying to make a comeback once again. The perfect drink for any witch costume is absinthe because of its eerie green color and it’s banned past.
