Witches Brew Halloween Drink for Kids
Affiliate links included below.
Ingredients:
(Note: We’re not listing amounts because it depends on the size of your pitcher. See instructions to determine how much you’ll need.)
- Grape Juice (you’ll want the dark kind, not the white grape juice)
- Ginger ale
- Black Licorice flavoring (if your kids really don’t like this flavor, you can use another flavoring)
Directions for this Halloween drink for kids:
- Fill a pitcher 3/4 of the way with ice
- Pour in Grape Juice 1/2 way full
- Add Ginger-ale till you are 3/4 of the way full (you don’t want to go to the top because you’re going to get fizz)
- Now add 2 Tbsp. of licorice flavoring
That’s all it takes! Serve the Witches Brew in fun, spooky Halloween-themed cups or mugs. Or use cool Halloween beverage clings to turn your ordinary glasses into nifty seasonal ones.
Tips:
- As mentioned above, you can use other flavors if your kids aren’t fans of licorice. A few ideas that go well with grape juice include: blueberry, strawberry, apple and pear.
- If you don’t want to go to the expense of buying seasonal cups (I have so many that I pack away and forget about every year!), you can make this fun by grabbing some funky Halloween straws. We opted for blue and yellow, but traditional orange and white is fun too! I love these from Birthday Express:
- If you’re serving this fun Halloween drink for kids as a party punch, put it in a cauldron and let kids use a ladle to scoop it into their cups. Or if you have young kids, maybe have a grownup do it, unless you like mopping up Witches Brew! Amazon has everything from plastic cauldrons to really cool cast-iron ones. It depends on how much you’re willing to spend on your soiree.
- Amazon has a bunch of natural ginger ales if you prefer to go that route. You can also find it in your local health food store. Of course, you could just get it off the shelf in the soda aisle at your store. You’re only using a little bit to make it fizz and give the Witches Brew a kick!
I think that about covers it! Really, this is such a simple and fun Halloween drink for kids! Most of the work is in the extra details, and you can feel free to skip those steps!
I love this! What better to serve at a creepy party than witches brew? Awesome idea, I can’t wait to whip up a batch of these!
Now that’s looks fun! It’s perfect for a Halloween party!
This sounds like a wonderful drink on Halloween. I think it would be great for parties.
I love witchy things for Halloween. This sounds like a great drink, though I’m not a fan of licorice, so I’d probably go without it.
That looks so cool and refreshing. Forget the kids, I’d drink it all up myself!

This would make a good refreshing drink for a halloween party. I would probably use a plastic cauldron and set on red and orange crepe paper to make it look like it is sitting on flames. cool!

Ha!This is such a fun little drink! My daughters will get a kick out of this. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! Can’t wait to do all the spooky activities!
What FUN! I saw this on twitter and had to have a look! I am thinking since we do not like black licorice what else to use but I mean any flavor would work right? I am thinking the grape juice alone would be yummy with the ginger ale! Does it change the color at all? Either way what a fun bubbly drink for Halloween and oh I totally got your Macbeth reference lol
This is so cute, I can imagine the kids’ reaction when they see this. I can’t wait for Halloween.
I love Halloween themed drinks. This looks so cool! I am not a fan of licorice flavoring, but I can’t wait to try this one.
