Why You’ll Love This Spooktacular Mocktail
What makes this Witches Brew stand out is its perfect combination of citrus soda, tropical juices, and a hint of tang, all swirling together in a mesmerizing cauldron of color. Adding gummy worms, candy eyeballs, or floating citrus slices brings an extra festive flair. Plus, it’s made in one big batch—perfect for serving a crowd without the need for individual drinks, which means more time for games, treats, and costume contests!
The Magic Behind the Brew
To create that signature “witchy” effect, this mocktail uses a blend of lime soda, pineapple juice, and a splash of grape juice for a deep purple hue. Dry ice can add a rolling fog (with careful adult supervision!), while neon food coloring creates an eerie glow. Serve chilled or over ice, and set out creepy garnishes for guests to customize their drinks.
How to Serve Witches Brew Mocktail
Pour the witch’s potion into a large punch bowl or beverage dispenser. For that bubbling effect, add pieces of dry ice just before serving (do not ingest dry ice; remove before serving to children). Arrange a platter of fun Halloween garnishes—like lychee “eyeballs,” gummy worms, or black licorice sticks—and watch your guests get creative with their custom brews!
