Our Best Ideas for Non-Alcoholic Halloween Drinks

Whether you’re hosting the neighborhood kids before trick-or-treating or simply looking for ways to add extra excitement to your little one’s day, you can’t go wrong with a Halloween-themed drink. Few things are as frighteningly fun as scooping a bubbling green punch from a witch’s cauldron or finding a pair of "eyes" peering back at you from the bottom of your juice glass. With these recipes, it’s easy to serve up spirited sips from breakfast to dinner—and every other Halloween occasion in between. One of our favorites? An oh-so-chocolatey cocoa after a long night of walking door to door. This method for tempering chocolate will give you smooth, shiny hot cocoa bombs; just be sure to use good-quality, bittersweet chocolate with at least 70% cacao. When you’re ready to serve them, add the gooey cobwebs and candy eyes—then prepare for everyone to scream with delight!

Halloween Extra-Dark Hot Cocoa

Nothing's better on a dark and stormy October night than a mug full of this extra-dark hot cocoa. Black cocoa powder gives the beverage its intense color and rich flavor. To give your cocoa mugs a frightfully fun Halloween touch, dip the rims in melted semi-sweet chocolate and cover them with orange and black nonpareils.

Cobweb Hot Cocoa

Black cocoa has little natural acidity, an impossibly black as midnight color and a rich chocolate flavor that tastes just like your favorite cream sandwich cookies (because it’s in that cookie too!) These three elements are ideal for making a very chocolaty but not bitter drink that’s scary enough for Halloween but tasty enough for any day.

Witch’s Brew

There's no need to add booze to this ghastly punch. The mix of pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda is sure to please. Some powdered lime gelatin ups the flavor and gives this punch it's green tinge.
