Essential Gear for Your Little Monsters’ Mocktails

Before you start brewing up these creepy concoctions, having the right equipment will make the process much smoother and more fun. These simple tools will help you bring your best ideas for Halloween drinks for kids to life with ease.

• For Ghoulish Glassware: The right cup can make any drink feel more special and spooky. This {Halloween-Themed Shatterproof Plastic Tumbler Set} is perfect for parties, featuring fun designs like ghosts and pumpkins that kids will love, without any worry of breakage.
  
• For Serving Large Batches: A great punch bowl is a must for any party. A {Large Glass Pumpkin-Shaped Drink Dispenser} is not only festive but also makes it easy for kids to serve themselves without spills. For a witchy theme, a classic {Cauldron-Shaped Serving Bowl} is perfect for holding a bubbling brew.
  
  
• To Create a Spooky Fog: The ultimate special effect that will have every kid’s eyes wide with wonder is a smoky, bubbling fog. Adding a small, food-safe pellet of {Dry Ice} to your punch bowl creates a dramatic, long-lasting effect. (Safety first! An adult should always handle dry ice with gloves, and it should only be used in a large, open punch bowl where it can dissolve completely before serving. Never place it in individual cups for kids).
  
  
• For Bloody Good Garnishes: A creepy garnish can be the final touch that makes a drink unforgettable. Using {Food-Safe Plastic Syringes} to squirt a “blood” shot of grenadine or raspberry syrup into a drink is a fun, interactive activity that kids go crazy for.
  
  
• Creepy & Fun Ice Cubes: Upgrade your ice game with themed molds that add a fun surprise to every cup. The 3D Skull Silicone Ice Cube Mold} creates large, spooky skulls that look amazing floating in a drink, while these {Worm-Shaped Silicone Molds} are perfect for making creepy-crawly ice for your beverages.

With these supplies in your party-planning arsenal, you’re ready to mix and serve some truly memorable drinks for every little ghost and goblin.

15 Spooktacular Halloween Drinks For Kids

Get ready to find your party’s signature spooky sipper! This list features a wide range of fun, easy, and delicious recipes, from fruity punches to creamy, dessert-like drinks, ensuring there’s a perfect potion for every child.

1. The Bubbling Witch’s Brew Punch

This vibrant, bubbling green punch looks like it came straight from a witch’s cauldron. It’s sweet, fizzy, and the sherbet makes a fun, foamy top that kids love.

Ingredients:

• 1 large can (46 oz) Pineapple Juice, chilled
• 1 large bottle (2 liters) Lemon-Lime Soda (like Sprite or 7UP), chilled
• 1 tub (12 oz) Lime Sherbet
• A few drops of green food coloring (optional)
• Gummy worms and plastic spiders for garnish

Instructions:

1. In your {Cauldron-Shaped Serving Bowl} or a large punch bowl, combine the chilled pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda.
2. If you want a more intense, swampy green color, stir in a few drops of green food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
3. Just before the guests arrive, add large scoops of the lime sherbet to the punch. The sherbet will react with the soda and start to fizz and foam, creating a magical, bubbling effect.
4. Garnish the bowl by draping gummy worms over the sides and floating a few clean plastic spiders on the foamy top.

2. Ghoulish Grape Soda with a Frozen Hand

This is a classic and wonderfully creepy party punch. The floating, frozen hand is a simple trick that has a huge visual impact and always gets a great reaction from kids.

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts White Grape Juice
• 1 liter Ginger Ale or Club Soda, chilled
• For the “Frozen Hand” garnish: A disposable, powder-free plastic glove

Instructions:

1. Prepare the frozen hand (the day before): Take a clean, powder-free disposable plastic glove. Fill it with water (you can even add a few drops of green food coloring for a monster hand). Securely tie the end with a rubber band or twist tie.
2. Lay the filled glove flat on a baking sheet and freeze it overnight until it’s completely solid.
3. Just before the party, combine the cold white grape juice and chilled ginger ale in a large, clear punch bowl.
4. When you’re ready to serve, carefully use scissors to cut the plastic glove away from the frozen hand of ice.
5. Gently place the ice hand in the punch bowl. It will look incredibly spooky floating in the liquid and will also keep the punch cold as it melts.

3. The Interactive “Bloody” Shirley Temple

This is a nonalcoholic twist on a classic kid’s drink that gets a fun and gruesome makeover. Kids will love being able to “inject” their own “blood” into their fizzy drink.

Ingredients:

• 6 oz Lemon-Lime Soda or Ginger Ale
• 1/2 oz Grenadine or Raspberry Syrup
• A splash of orange juice
• Maraschino cherries for garnish

Instructions:

1. Fill one of your {Halloween-Themed Shatterproof Plastic Tumblers} with ice.
2. Pour in the lemon-lime soda and a small splash of orange juice.
3. Fill a {Food-Safe Plastic Syringe} with the grenadine.
4. Serve the glass of soda with the filled syringe resting inside it.
5. Let the kids push the plunger to inject the red “blood” into their drink and watch the cool swirling effect as it mixes.
6. Garnish with a maraschino cherry for a final touch.

4. Warm Shrunken Head Cider

This is the perfect cozy drink for a chilly Halloween night. The carved apple faces are wonderfully creepy and a fun project to do before the party.

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon Apple Cider
• 4-5 Cinnamon Sticks
• 1 tbsp Whole Cloves
• For the heads: 4-5 small apples (like Granny Smith or Gala)

Instructions:

1. Make the shrunken heads: Peel the apples and use a small, sharp paring knife to carve spooky or silly faces into them. Think big eye sockets and a wide-open mouth for the most dramatic effect.
2. As you carve them, you can dip them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Place the carved apples on a baking sheet and bake at a very low temperature (250°F or 120°C) for 1.5 to 2 hours. They will shrink, get wrinkly, and look wonderfully creepy.
4. In a large pot or a slow cooker, combine the apple cider, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Heat the mixture on low for at least an hour to let the spices infuse.
5. Serve the warm cider in mugs. For an extra spooky touch, you can float the shrunken apple heads in the slow cooker or punch bowl.

5. The Black Magic Mocktail

This dark, mysterious drink looks like an inky black potion but tastes like a delicious, sweet-and-sour lemonade. The secret ingredient is food-safe activated charcoal.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
• 4 cups Cold Water
• 1 tsp Activated Charcoal Powder (food-grade)
• Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions:

1. Make the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it cool.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and 4 cups of cold water. Stir well. This is your lemonade base.
3. Whisk in the activated charcoal powder until it is fully dissolved and the lemonade turns an opaque, inky black color. The charcoal is tasteless.
4. Serve in clear glasses over ice.
5. Garnish each glass with a bright yellow lemon slice for a stunning color contrast that makes the drink pop.

6. The Jekyll & Hyde Potion (Color-Changing Drink)

This drink is pure magic and science! Using the natural properties of a special tea, kids can create a drink that magically changes color right before their eyes.

Ingredients:

• Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, brewed and chilled
• Your favorite clear or light-colored lemonade

Instructions:

1. Brew a strong batch of butterfly pea flower tea (you can find the dried flowers online or at specialty tea shops). Let it cool completely. The tea will be a deep, beautiful blue.
2. Fill clear glasses about halfway with the blue butterfly pea flower tea and add ice.
3. Serve the glasses alongside small, clear pitchers or beakers filled with lemonade.
4. Let the kids be the “mad scientists” and pour the acidic lemonade into the blue tea. They will be amazed as they watch their drink instantly transform from deep blue to a magical violet or pink color right in their glass.

7. Pumpkin Patch Smoothies

A healthy, creamy, and festive drink that’s perfect for a Halloween morning treat or a nutritious party option that tastes like dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 oz) Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 large Banana, frozen in chunks
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/2 cup Vanilla Yogurt
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients—pumpkin puree, frozen banana, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice—in a blender.
2. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
3. For a fun presentation, take a clear glass and use a black dry-erase marker on the outside of the glass to draw a simple jack-o’-lantern face.
4. Carefully pour the bright orange smoothie into the glass. The face you drew will make it look like a see-through, drinkable jack-o’-lantern.

8. Eyeball Soda with Lychee “Eyeballs”

This is one of the easiest ways to make any drink instantly creepy. The lychee “eyeballs” look shockingly realistic and are fun to eat.

Ingredients:

• Your favorite clear or light-colored soda (like Sprite, 7UP, or sparkling lemonade)
• For the “eyeball” garnish: Canned lychees and maraschino cherries, blueberries, or red grapes

Instructions:

1. Make the eyeball: Drain a canned lychee (it’s a sweet, pale white fruit). Carefully stuff a maraschino cherry (for a red eye), a blueberry (for a blue eye), or a small red grape into the cavity of the lychee.
2. The colored fruit peeking out of the pale lychee looks shockingly like a veiny eyeball.
3. Drop one or two “eyeballs” into the bottom of a clear glass.
4. Fill the glass with ice and top with your chosen bubbly soda. The eyeballs will float and bob around spookily in the bubbles.

9. Ghostly White Hot Chocolate

A warm, creamy, and comforting treat for a chilly trick-or-treating night, with an adorable ghost floating on top.

Ingredients:

• White Hot Chocolate (made from a mix or by melting white chocolate into milk)
• Whipped Cream from a can
• Mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the white hot chocolate and pour it into dark-colored or black mugs (this will make the white “ghost” stand out).
2. Top each mug with a generous swirl of whipped cream, trying to make a tall, ghost-like shape that tapers at the top.
3. Working quickly before the whipped cream melts, gently place two mini chocolate chips for the “eyes” and one for a small, round “O” mouth on your whipped cream ghost.
4. Serve immediately while it’s warm and ghostly.

10. The Green Goblin Fizz

A simple, bubbly, and shockingly green drink that’s perfect for a party. It’s incredibly easy to mix up on the spot.

Ingredients:

• 4 oz Green Hawaiian Punch, Green Berry Rush flavor, or similar bright green juice
• 4 oz Sparkling Lemonade or Club Soda
• Garnish: A gummy monster candy or a black licorice twist

Instructions:

1. Fill a clear tumbler with ice. A skull-shaped ice cube from your {3D Skull Silicone Ice Cube Mold} would look amazing here.
2. Pour in the green juice.
3. Top with sparkling lemonade for a sweeter drink, or club soda for a less sweet, extra-fizzy version.
4. Garnish with a silly gummy monster clipped to the rim of the glass or a black licorice twist as a spooky straw.

11. Hocus Pocus Punch

A magical, layered punch inspired by the iconic Sanderson sisters.

Ingredients:

• Orange juice
• Green Hawaiian Punch
• Grape juice

Instructions:

1. The trick to layering is to pour the liquids with the highest sugar content first. Check the labels, but generally, green juice or grape juice will be heavier than orange juice.
2. Fill a glass with ice.
3. Slowly pour your first, heaviest juice (e.g., green juice) to fill about one-third of the glass.
4. Very slowly, pour the next juice (e.g., orange juice) over the back of a spoon to create the second layer.
5. Repeat with the final juice (e.g., grape juice) to create a beautiful, three-layered drink. Serve immediately before the colors mix.

12. Spiderweb Chocolate Milk

Turn a glass of regular chocolate milk into a spooky treat with this simple web design.

Ingredients:

• Chocolate Milk
• For the web: Melted marshmallow or a tube of white cookie icing

Instructions:

1. Pour cold chocolate milk into a clear, wide-mouthed glass.
2. Melt a few marshmallows with a tiny bit of water in the microwave for a few seconds until they are fluid.
3. Use a spoon to drizzle the melted marshmallow on top of the dark chocolate milk in the shape of a spiderweb (start with circles, then drag a toothpick through them).
4. Place a small chocolate candy spider or a plastic spider ring on the web.

13. Fizzy Vampire “Blood” Float

A spooky twist on a classic ice cream float.

Ingredients:

• Dark soda (like black cherry soda, root beer, or even regular cola)
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Red decorating gel or raspberry syrup

Instructions:

1. Take a tall, clear glass. Squeeze some red decorating gel on the inside rim and let it drip down to look like blood.
2. Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream to the glass.
3. Slowly pour the dark soda over the ice cream. It will fizz up dramatically.
4. Serve with a long spoon and a straw.

14. “Poison” Apple Juice

A simple way to make regular apple juice look sinister and spooky.

Ingredients:

• Apple Juice
• A few drops of black food coloring
• A gummy worm for each glass

Instructions:

1. In a large pitcher, add a few drops of black food coloring to your apple juice and stir. Add just enough to give it a dark, murky, “poisoned” look without turning it completely black.
2. Pour into clear glasses.
3. Garnish each glass with a single gummy worm hanging over the rim, as if it just crawled out of the poison.

15. The Candy Corn Cooler

A beautifully layered drink that looks just like the iconic Halloween candy.

Ingredients:

• Yellow sports drink (like lemon-lime Gatorade)
• Orange juice
• A dollop of whipped cream or a squirt of whipped cream from a can

Instructions:

1. Fill a clear glass about one-third of the way with the yellow sports drink.
2. Fill the glass with plenty of ice.
3. Very slowly, pour the orange juice over the ice. The ice will help keep the layers separated, with the orange floating on top of the yellow.
4. Top the drink with a dollop of whipped cream for the white “tip” of the candy corn.
