The short answer
Alcohol-free Halloween potions and mocktails
Cold drinks that change color, fizz or hide eyeballs.
Hot Halloween drinks
It's often cold on October 31: something to warm up little hands when they get back.
Decorating Halloween glasses
- The colored frosted rim: run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it upside down in sugar mixed with a few drops of food coloring.
- Floating eyeballs: a blueberry tucked into a lychee, or a banana slice with a blueberry in the middle, on a pick.
- Orange pumpkins: thick orange slices, with two eyes and a mouth cut out with a small knife.
- Worms crawling out of the glass: gummy worms, hung over the rim or tucked into the whipped cream.
- Ice cubes that don't water it down: frozen blueberries or grapes.

What hot drink for Halloween night?
On October 31, trick-or-treating often happens in the cold: witch's hot chocolate with ghost marshmallows, homemade pumpkin spice latte, ghostly white hot chocolate and hot spiced apple juice warm everyone up when they get back. The spiced apple juice stays hot in a thermos.
How do you decorate a glass for Halloween?
Rim it with colored sugar (a lemon wedge around the rim, then the glass dipped upside down in the sugar), float lychee eyes with a blueberry in the center, add orange slices carved into pumpkins, or let gummy worms hang over the rim.
How do you make a color-changing drink?
With butterfly pea tea, a dried flower that turns water blue: a splash of lemon in front of your guests turns it purple. You'll find it in specialty food stores or online. A two-tone potion, grenadine at the bottom and orange juice on top, also does the trick without buying anything special.
Can you make Halloween drinks ahead?
Yes, saving the fizz for last: the juices can be mixed a few hours ahead and kept in the fridge, the lemon-lime soda and sparkling water go in right before serving. Hot drinks are made just before, or kept hot in a thermos.
