Here are 10 fun and spooky-themed Halloween mocktails that look good, taste good and are free of alcohol for all to enjoy.
Mix in a blender 1 cup lime sherbet, 1 cup pineapple juice and 2 cups lemon-lime soda (optional: add green food dye). Pour into glasses, and add gummy worms hanging over the rim.
Mix cranberry and pomegranate juice, sparkling water and lemonade. Red food coloring is optional to make the drink resemble blood. Pour over ice and garnish with frozen raspberries.
Mix 1/2 cup grape juice, 1/2 cup blackberry soda and 1/2 cup sparkling water in a glass. Add a couple of drops of black food coloring. Serve over ice and garnish with blackberries.
Combine 2 cups apple cider, 1 cup pumpkin puree, cinnamon and nutmeg with 2 cups ginger beer (or ginger ale). Serve with whipped cream and cinnamon sticks.

2 cups kiwi juice 1/2 cup lemonade 1 cup lemon-lime soda 1/4 cup chia seeds (for "slimy" texture, let sit for 10 mins to expand) Gummy frogs (for garnish)
Fill a glass with ice and pour in 1 cup lemon-lime soda. Slowly drizzle 1/4 cup grenadine over the soda to create a "bloody" effect. Garnish with maraschino cherries, and serve!
Fill the bottom third of a glass with 1/2 cup pineapple juice. Slowly pour 1/2 cup orange juice over the back of a spoon to create a separate layer. Add whipped cream then serve.
