Ingredients

2/3 cup light corn syrup

1/3 cup grenadine

8 to 10 drops red food coloring

7 cups lemon-lime soda

2 cups seltzer

8 gummy eyeballs

Directions

Special equipment:
6 to 8 colorful paper straws; optional
  1. Stir the corn syrup, grenadine and food coloring in a small bowl; set aside. Add the lemon-lime soda and seltzer to a large pitcher.
  2. For each serving, fill a pint glass halfway with ice. Pour in the soda mixture, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Use a tablespoon to drizzle 2 tablespoons of the grenadine mixture around the inside rim. The mixture should slowly drip down the inside of the glass. Add a gummy eyeball and a colorful paper straw, if using, and serve immediately.

Cook’s Note

To make an alcoholic version, add 2 ounces of gin or vodka to each glass, or 2 cups of gin or vodka to the pitcher.
