    • Halloween Mocktail for Kids

    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

    Ingredients for Halloween mocktails.
    • 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.

    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.

    Try these drink ideas! Both of the recipes below are alcohol-free, delicious and easy to make into a spooky Halloween drink with the right garnishes. Kiddo's mocktail uses grenadine to sweeten it, making it a delicious alternative to bloody Shirley Temples.

    How to Make Halloween Mocktails by the Pitcher

    Need a Halloween Punch recipe? Just make this mocktail by the pitcher! 

    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
    • 1 cup simple syrup 
    • 1 cup orange juice 
    • ½ cup lime juice

    Mix everything together in a large pitcher or punch bowl. Add orange slices for garnish. Serve over ice in black sugar rimmed glasses. Makes 6 mocktails.

    FAQs and Substitutions

    Where do I find black sugar? 

    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. 

    What else can I use for garnish on this drink?

    Try gummy worms, or a colorful paper straw with spider rings around them for fun garnishes that really up the spook factor.

    What can I use instead of lemon-lime soda?

    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.

    How do I make this into an easy Halloween punch recipe? 

    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.
