No Halloween [1] party theme is complete without a scary drink that gives kids and adults alike the heebie-jeebies. But let's be honest: no busy mom has the time to play "bartender" for a kids' get-together. We've compiled a list of 11 mocktail and punch recipes that take just a few ingredients and require barely any mixing but will satisfy kids' (and expectant moms' [2]) wishes for a spooky sip.
Candy Corn Mocktail
This sugary drink [4] uses orange soda, Gatorade, and Mountain Dew to re-create the colors of everyone's favorite Halloween [5] candy.
Wild Kratts Party Punch
Make sure to use jumbo ice cubes when making this punch [6], and incorporate theme-appropriate surprises for an added layer of excitement.
Voodoo Punch
Syringes full of raspberry syrup give this green punch [7] a scary haunted-house vibe.
Blueberry Ginger Bellini
The blood-like color of this blueberry drink [8] is perfect for a vampire Halloween [9] party. Replace sparkling wine with sparkling apple juice for a kid-friendly version.
Scary Cherry Mash
A mad scientist-inspired sip [10] that's actually pretty sweet . . . just skip the tequila!
Witch's Brew
There's no way your little one will be able to resist the radioactive green color of this lime Jell-O and Sprite mocktail [11]. (Skip the vodka, of course.)
Candy Corn-Layered Halloween Sipper
A gummy worm makes this pinneapple, orange, and mango frozen drink [12] a tad bit scarier.
Trick-or-Treat Halloween Punch
This creepy punch [13] takes just a few minutes to make and will probably be consumed in just as much time.
Eyeball Punch
Don't worry; the gross-looking eyeballs in this blood-like punch [14] are just lychees.
Witch's Potion
Kids won't be the only ones filling cup after cup with this witch's potion [15]. The mix of lime sherbet, ginger ale, and pineapple juice is delicious.
Monster Guts Punch
Serve this bubbly pink drink [16] in beakers for a fun mad-scientist touch.
Bloody Shirley Temple
Turn a kid favorite into a Halloween drink [17] by adding a syringe full of grenadine.
Hocus Pocus Halloween Punch
There's no trick here, just a treat slushy [18] made of peach mango juice, soda, and sorbet.
