Hocus Pocus Fizz Drinks

Jump to Recipe

Here's another Halloween-themed drink for you! This time, this is McCormick's recipe. I added a little bit more yellow and red food color to make it a bit more red. I loved how it came out! A nice little bubbly drink for the adults for Halloween! And check out my red velvet cake batter milkshakes if you missed those from last week.

To make black sugar for the glasses, put 2 tablespoons sugar in small resealable plastic bag. Add 10 drops McCormick® Black Food Color and close up the bag and squish around with your hands until the black is evenly distributed.

To make it for the kids, don't use rum and increase pineapple juice to 1 1/2 cups and use a bottle sparkling white grape juice instead of the sparkling white wine.

Be sure to check out the fun Halloween giveaway from McCormick below!

      I think I’m going to try making some sort of pumpkin spice rice krispie treat this year 🙂

    42. Sean says

      I love to bake during this time of year…….especially for Halloween I’m making cupcakes with all kinds of spooky face characters on top and a special ghost cake for my kids.

    50. Kristina says

      I have to make peanut butter cups! Such a classic, and always delicious. I also make something called butterscotch nibbles. It’s a great, fall, party snack!

    51. Pam says

      My daughters birthday party was this weekend and we went with a monster theme in honor or halloween. I made BOO chips, apple zombie mouths, mummy pizzas and hot dogs, carrot fingers and grape goat eyes! It was a monsterous delight!

    52. Chris Schlarbaum says

      I am making sugar cookies that will be cut out in Halloween shapes. Of course they will be frosted.

    53. Parsley Sage says

    56. Parsley Sage says

      This drink is so good! I’m having a Pumpkinpalooza Carving Party for Grown Ups on Sunday. This would be perfect!

      I’ve also liked both of you on facebook 🙂

    61. Kel says

      I would love to win this! I am going to make the “mouth/teeth” shown in the food network magazine. They are apples, with peanut butter and almonds for teeth. Hard to explain – but if you see the cover of their magazine you will understand. I might switch caramel for the pb.

    98. Amy Tong says

      What a fun giveaway for Halloween. This year, I’m making “Popping” Candy Pops. They are delicious and fun to eat. 🙂

      I am making bloody sugar glass cupcakes, and taking them to work on a platter dressed as a 50’s housewife!

    123. tina page says

      i have been making butternut squash cookies. the kids love them and its a good for them treat.

    129. Micky says

      I made Grand Marnier Chocolate Cupcakes. I thought the chocolate and orange (with a little booze spike)was appropriate. I decorated with black sugar crystals.

    133. Jennay says

      Lots of goodies…cake pops, oreo candy corn cakes, pretzels with white chocolate and sprinkles (halloween colors, of course), rice krispie treats, pumpkin cake roll, pumpkin muffins, and many many more! =)

    148. Charity says

      I have already made spooky halloween sugar cookies. Still left on the list of holiday treats, chocolate molded in those aforementioned spooky cookie cutters with various add ins (candy corn, red hots, almonds, etc.), candy apple slices, popcorn balls and a pumpkin cheesecake graveyard. The goodie bag above would really aid in my haloween treat adventures!

    153. Kimberly says

      I’ll be whipping up some “Pretzel Mummies” for Halloween (pretzel sticks drizzled with white royal icing and two mini chocolate chips for eyes)!

    171. Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious says

      I love all these Halloween drinks you’ve been posting! And I love that this is an alcoholic beverage – I could really use one right now! And thanks for such an awesome giveaway. I definitely plan on making some candy corn chocolate chip cookies this year.

    180. Katie Teixeira says

      Sorry the last comment should have said: following BOTH! But so I don’t add another erroneous comment, I want to add that I have subscribed by email to your blog! So extra chances 1 and 2 done!

    191. Ellen D. says

      Pumpkin Pie and sugar cookies! But this year I will be scouring Pinterest to find new and exciting recipes!

    204. Lynette says

      My daughter and I have already made pumpkin frosted sugar cookies and peanut butter spooky spider cookies! I’m sure we’ll make more fun Halloween stuff!

    235. Alice Choi says

      I will be making Twinkie ghosts and scary gummy worm cupcakes for my daughter’s kindergarten class! 🙂 oh and Boo Candy Corn and Chocolate Chip Cookies for my neighbors (NYC’s Momofuku) going all out this year! 🙂
