Witches Brew Lemonade
Witches Brew Lemonade is a strikingly colorful, refreshing drink made with classic lemonade and a twist of fruity flavor and food coloring. It’s perfect for kids and adults alike, and can easily be turned into a spooky punch or a mocktail!
Ingredients (Makes about 6 servings)
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup grape juice or berry juice (for color & flavor)
- A few drops of purple or green food coloring (optional, for a magical effect)
- Ice, for serving
- Lemon slices or gummy worms, for garnish
Instructions
- Make the lemonade base:
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves, then add the water and mix well. - Add the brew twist:
Stir in grape or berry juice to tint the lemonade a deep purple or eerie green. Add food coloring if desired to intensify the color. - Chill and serve:
Fill glasses with ice and pour in the Witches Brew Lemonade. Garnish with lemon slices, gummy worms, or dry ice for spooky fog (with caution).
Optional Variations:
- Sparkling Version: Use half sparkling water for a fizzy brew.
- Frozen Slush: Blend with ice for a slushy texture.
- Adult Version: Add a splash of vodka or black raspberry liqueur.
