This hocus pocus potion drink that I made this week is perfect for adults and kiddos alike. There is no alcohol in it whatsoever, and it is a great drink to share at parties. For more spooky inspiration, check out my list of The Best Halloween Recipes.
This drink recipe only uses a few simple ingredients, and my favorite? Litehouse Gala Apple Cider.
How to Make Hocus Pocus Potion
To make this hocus pocus drink potion, start by rimming your glasses with some honey. Then, using whatever Halloween sprinkles you have, cover the honey with the sprinkles.

We used some black sugar crystals from the Halloween Test Tube sprinkle pack from Wilton, and they turned out great.
To make the drink, you are going to start with about 2 cups of apple cider. Put it in a pourable measuring bowl. It makes it easier to pour into the glasses.
In the same bowl, add 1 cup of club soda. Because it will look brown, you will want to change the color of it, so add a couple of drops of blue food coloring.
To finish it off the Hocus Pocus Potion, add in about ¼ cup of grenadine syrup. The red will deepen, making it look like blood!
The sweetness from the apple cider really sets this drink off perfectly!
