20 Non-Alcoholic Drinks To Serve At Your Halloween Party This Year
All boos, no booze.
In the spirit of trying new things, perhaps you’re looking for non-alcoholic Halloween drinks to sip on all day long. Sober October is pretty popular this time of year as more and more people consider themselves to be “sober curious” but there’s no need to miss out on all of the Halloween fun if you choose to skip the spiked punch this year. Thankfully, there are so many non-alcoholic beverages to get you in the spooky spirit. Bonus: all of these would look super cute on your Instagram story.
The list of alcohol-free Halloween drinks is long and full of fun and festive mocktails. Fall, in particular, has plenty of seasonal flavors that make for delicious drinks: apple, cinnamon, pumpkin, and maple, just to name a few. Plus, we’re in that sweet spot weather-wise where we can enjoy both warm and cold drinks without sweating profusely or freezing our pumpkins off. In other words, even if you’re skipping out on the Schnapps, you don’t have to skip out on making something delicious.
And you know what pairs well with any scary-delicious Halloween drink? A marathon of deliciously scary Halloween movies. (Or just Sabrina the Teenage Witch.) So, get cozy, turn up the Monster Mash, and prepare to get spooky. Here are 20 non-alcoholic Halloween drinks to enjoy all season long.
