Whether you're creating a fun drink for your next Halloween party or a way to get the older kids involved in Halloween night, this easy recipe for a Halloween Mocktail is perfect for Spooky Season.
What kid doesn’t love a spooky drink on Halloween? But so many Halloween party drinks for kids are full of artificial colors, or require purchasing plastic syringes or dry ice or other hard-to-find items in order to pull off the Halloween theme of the drink.
Those kinds of garnishes also make it hard for little kids to enjoy fun Halloween drinks, so let's make something that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages!
I'm all about simple recipes with easy to find ingredients, so that’s what we’re using here! All of the super simple ingredients in this Halloween mocktail came from my local grocery store.
Nothing in this drink requires lots of food coloring, and since there's plenty of sugar in the juice and soda, we're leaving out ice cream or lime sherbet typical in so many Halloween milkshakes and other spooky Halloween drinks. Kiddo's going to get plenty of Halloween candy to cover that sugar intake. 😉
Ingredients
- Concord grape juice
- Orange juice
- Lemon lime soda
- Lime juice
- Simple Syrup
- Black sugar (for garnish)
- An orange (for garnish)
- Red grapes (optional garnish)
How to Make a Halloween Mocktail
Pour some black sugar into a small, shallow dish. Run a slice of orange around the top of a rocks glass.
Dip the rim in the sugar to coat the top of the glass. Fill with ice and set aside.
Combine grape juice, orange juice, simple syrup, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well and pour into your prepared glass.
Top with lemon lime soda.
Garnish with a slice of orange and/or a few red grapes.
Stir, sip and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- When making this recipe by the pitcher, be sure to chill all of your ingredients first. Placing the grape juice, orange juice, and soda in the refrigerator before you make the punch will help the ice melt slower.
- Freeze your grape garnish. Wash a cup or two of red grapes, remove them from their stems, pat them dry with a paper towel and place them in a zip-top bag. Lay the bag flat in your freezer so the grapes are in a single layer and allow the grapes to freeze for at least 2-3 hours. (Do this the night before serving, if possible.) Use the frozen grapes as both drink garnish and a way to keep your mocktail colder for longer.

Here are the amounts you need to make 60 oz (about a half gallon) of drinks:
- 3 cups concord grape juice
- 2 cups lemon lime soda

FAQs and Substitutions
Black sugar can be found online, as well as in the Halloween baking section of your local grocery store or craft store. Can’t find black sugar? Don’t want to make a special trip to the store? Use green sugar! It’s more readily available and you may even have some in your pantry from decorating Christmas cookies.
Try gummy worms, or a colorful paper straw with spider rings around them for fun garnishes that really up the spook factor.
Ginger ale is a delicious replacement for lemon lime soda if you don't have any on hand or don't like lemon lime soda.
To make a batch big enough for a large punch bowl, follow the directions above for making this Halloween drink recipe by the pitcher, but double the ingredient amounts to make a gallon of Halloween mocktails. Float orange slices in the bowl and serve your drinks in black sugar-rimmed glasses filled with ice and a few red grapes.
