Exchange your scary Bloody Mary for our Bloody Beet Red Mocktail with all the flavor and none of the scaries. The use of beet juice and agave add a complex earthiness to this otherwise pleasantly sweet drink. Not to mention, the stunning dark red color resembles the blood red walls you see in horror movies like The Shining or the deep blood running out of a vampire’s mouth. Talk about a Halloween-appropriate beverage!
How to Turn Any Halloween Cocktail Into a Mocktail
Not into our Bloody Beet Red Mocktail? That’s okay! You can make your own mocktail creation using our easy pointers. One easy alternative is to substitute liquor for a non-alcoholic option such as Seedlips Spirits or Ritual Zero Proof Spirits. But, if you’re hoping to save a dime, you can always experiment with herbal teas and craft sodas like in our All Hallow’s Eve Non-Alcoholic Spritzer recipe. It’s also great to have various syrups and bitters on hand. Don’t underestimate how much these elements can enhance a mocktail’s flavor and make it more than just juice and club soda!
