  Swap out regular cups for test tubes, mason jars, laboratory beakers, or mini cauldrons. They add drama and keep the Halloween vibe strong with every pour.

  Freeze water in molds shaped like skulls, spiders, or bones. Add glow cubes or tonic water ice (which glows under blacklight) to impress your guests in the dark.

• Rim Glasses with Scary Style:
  Dip glass rims in colored sugar, edible fake blood (made from corn syrup and red food dye), or crushed chocolate cookies (for a “dirt” effect). It adds flavor and that eerie finishing touch.

With just a few creative garnishes and presentation tricks, your Halloween drinks will go from simple to spine-chillingly spectacular!
