Best Halloween Mocktail Recipes

A roundup of festive, non-alcoholic drink recipes for a hangover-free Halloween

If you’re trying to cut back on alcohol (or skip it altogether) this spooky season, I’ve got you covered with some Halloween mocktails that are festive, fun, and won’t leave you with a scary next-day hangover. Think smoky, bubbling drinks, sangria-sans-headache, and pumpkin spice magic, perfect for your girl’s night in or sipping while you steal a few Reese’s from the trick-or-treat stash.

If I was going to buy one non-alcoholic spirit for Halloween it would be the zero-proof tequila by Free Spirits. It's just so versatile and margaritas/palomas are always a crowd-pleaser. It's listed in several recipes and will add depth and complexity to your mocktails that are hard to recreate with just juices and shrubs, etc. It's linked here on Amazon* with all my other mocktail ingredients and special touches. If you choose to omit it try making a jalapeno simple syrup to add a little spicy kick that emulates the burn of alcohol in some of your recipes.
