When David and I started Spoonful Snap, I wanted to bring that feeling back. This recipe reminds me of those joyful, spooky nights. Crafting this drink brings a little bit of that kitchen magic to your Halloween party. It’s simple, but the eerie green color and floating worms make it unforgettable.

Essential Ingredients for Witch’s Brew Punch (Halloween Mocktail)

Here’s what you’ll need to create this spooky delight:

• Lemon-lime soda, 1 (64 ounce) bottle. This gives our brew a bubbly, fizzy base.
• Pineapple juice, 1 (46 ounce) can. It adds a sweet, tropical touch.
• Lime juice, 1/2 cup. A little tartness balances the sweetness.
• Grenadine syrup, 1/4 cup. This is our secret for that eerie, layered look.
• Green food coloring, as needed. We’ll use just a few drops to get that perfect witchy hue.
• Gummy worms or plastic spiders, for garnish. These creepy crawlies make it truly Halloween-y!

Optional Additions for Extra Spookiness

Want to take your Witch’s Brew Punch (Halloween Mocktail) to the next level of eerie? Try these:

• Lime sherbet: Add a few scoops just before serving for a frothy, foggy effect.
