Ingredients
- 2 cups Sprite
- ¼ cup Grenadine
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 6 Maraschino cherries
- Black sugar sprinkles (Wilton)
- Red food gel
- Purple cotton candy
- Creepy ice cubes (made with gummy eyes, cherries, or blueberries)
- Water
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine the Sprite, grenadine, and lime juice. Stir gently to blend the flavors without losing carbonation.
- Prepare the Glasses: Grab two small plates; pour lime juice on one and black sugar on the other. Dip the rim of each glass into the lime juice, allowing excess to drip off, then dip into the black sugar so that it coats the rim.
- Add Red Drizzle: To the rimmed glass, drizzle red food gel over the black sugar. Don’t worry if it drips down the sides; this adds to the spooky effect!
- Fill with Creepy Ice: Add your homemade creepy ice cubes to the glasses.
- Pour the Drink: Fill the glass with the sweet mixture until it reaches the rim.
- Finish with Cotton Candy: Top off each drink with a generous handful of purple cotton candy, and insert a straw for sipping.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cheers to creativity and spooky fun!
Notes
Add the Sprite just before serving to keep it fizzing and fresh; garnish at the last minute to prevent sogginess.
