5. Witch’s Potion

This green-hued drink almost looks like a margarita, but don’t worry—there’s no tequila. (Although, if you wanted to spike a few for the adults, that wouldn’t be a bad idea. No judgement!) Garnish it with gummy worms to really get that creepy-crawly vibe. Get the recipe at Lil Luna.

6. Bloody Shirley Temples

Every kid loves a Shirley Temple, also known as a Kiddie Cocktail. A creepy twist on the perennial favorite, this version looks like it’s being injected with a syringe full of blood! Get the recipe at This Grandma Is Fun.
