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') wishes for a spooky sip.
Candy Corn Mocktail
This sugary drink uses orange soda, Gatorade, and Mountain Dew to re-create the colors of everyone's favorite Halloween candy.

Make sure to use jumbo ice cubes when making this punch, and incorporate theme-appropriate surprises for an added layer of excitement.
Voodoo Punch
Syringes full of raspberry syrup give this green punch a scary haunted-house vibe.

A mad scientist-inspired sip that's actually pretty sweet . . . just skip the tequila!

There's no way your little one will be able to resist the radioactive green color of this lime Jell-O and Sprite mocktail. (Skip the vodka, of course.)

Eyeball Punch
Don't worry; the gross-looking eyeballs in this blood-like punch are just lychees.

Turn a kid favorite into a Halloween drink by adding a syringe full of grenadine.
