Instructions Witch’s Brew Halloween Mocktail Recipe
- Combine Juices: In a large pitcher, mix the pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Stir until well-blended.
- Add Soda: Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale) to give the drink a bubbly, fizzy texture.
- Bloody Effect with Grenadine: Slowly pour the grenadine down the side of each glass after adding the juice. This will sink to the bottom, creating a spooky “bloody” layer that’s perfect for Halloween.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill each glass with ice cubes and pour the drink mixture over.
- Garnish for Spooky Vibes: Top each drink with gummy worms or candy eyeballs for a fun, creepy presentation.
Serving Tips:
- Serve in a black or dark-colored cauldron-style punch bowl with a ladle if you’re making it for a crowd.
- Optional: Place dry ice in a separate bowl underneath the serving bowl to create a foggy mist effect. Note: Do not put dry ice directly into drinks, as it can be dangerous if ingested.

FAQ
Can I make this mocktail in advance? Yes, you can! Mix the pineapple, cranberry, and orange juices in advance and refrigerate. Add the soda and grenadine right before serving for maximum fizz and the spooky layer effect.
What if I don’t have grenadine? You can use pomegranate juice or a red fruit syrup instead. It’ll create a similar visual effect and add a hint of sweetness.
How can I make it less sweet? Opt for unsweetened or freshly squeezed juices, and replace lemon-lime soda with sparkling water or soda water to cut down on sweetness.
Can I use other types of fruit juice? Absolutely! Grape, apple, or even cherry juice can work well in this recipe. Just keep the flavors balanced and avoid anything too strong, like grapefruit juice, which might overpower the other flavors.
How do I store leftovers? If you have leftovers, keep the drink covered and refrigerated. It will keep for a day, though the soda may lose its fizz. To avoid this, leave the soda out when storing and add it only when you’re ready to serve again.
Can I make this mocktail sugar-free? Yes! Use unsweetened versions of the juices and skip the grenadine or use a sugar-free alternative.
