Instructions
- Fruit juices: Orange juice, cranberry juice, grape juice, and apple juice provide vibrant colors and natural sweetness. Substitute with any preferred 100% fruit juice or diluted fruit concentrates for less sugar.
- Sodas and sparkling water: Use lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, or sparkling water to add fizz and excitement. For healthier options, opt for club soda with a splash of fruit juice.
- Food coloring: Essential for creating green “witches’ brews” or blood-red concoctions. Choose natural food colorings derived from beet juice or spirulina if you prefer clean-label products.
- Gelatin or agar-agar: Used for making “jelly eyeballs” or thickened textures. Agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute for gelatin.
- Marshmallows and candy eyeballs: These are fun garnishes that add charm and creep factor for Halloween. Opt for allergen-free candies if needed.
- Fresh fruit: Slices of oranges, lemons, or grapes add an extra layer of decoration and a burst of freshness.
- Yogurt or milk: Used in creamy recipes like monster milkshakes to balance flavors and create smooth textures with plenty of protein. Dairy-free milks like almond or oat milk work well as substitutes.
- Ice: A must for chilling and serving drinks, providing refreshing coolness—crushed ice can also be used for thematic effects, like “foggy” drinks.
