There are a variety of unique ways to celebrate Halloween at home. Carving a pumpkin, making some caramel apples, telling ghost stories by your backyard fire, hosting a costume fashion show... Or planning a scary movie marathon with the perfect Halloween beverage drink!

This fun sparkling grape pineapple drink is easy to make (only 4 ingredients!) and tastes just as good without alcohol. The secret ingredient to the spooky texture is grape Jello; pair it with pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda, and you have yourself a sweet and fun thematic dessert drink. You can use blueberries and a round ice tray to make eyeballs (instructions below) and serve the drink in a vintage-style goblet to get the full "witch’s brew" experience.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Grape Jello
  • 16 oz Lemon-lime soda
  • 1 1/2 cup Pineapple juice
  • 1 cup Vodka (optional)
  • Black food colouring powder (optional)
  • Blueberries (optional, for eyeballs)

Instructions

  1. Fully prepare the Jello as instructed on the box.
  2. Once Jello is made, use a fork to break apart into small pieces, then add to a pitcher.
  3. Add pineapple juice and vodka (optional) to the pitcher and stir well.
  4. When ready to serve, add the lemon-lime soda into the pitcher until it’s full. Pouring soda from high above will achieve extra fizz!
  5. (Optional) Add a sprinkle of black food colouring powder on top for a more eerie appearance.
  6. (Optional) Using a round ice tray, place one large blueberry in each cavity, add water and freeze.

Hope you have a spook-tacular Halloween!
