With a fun mix of flavors and an electrifying green color, this fizzy concoction will bring life (and a little fright) to your gatherings. It’s a fun drink that’s not only visually striking but also refreshing with a citrusy kick. Whether you’re serving it for kids or adding a touch of alcohol for adults, Frankenstein’s Fizz is an easy, customizable recipe that’s sure to wow your guests.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7UP)
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup lime sherbet
  • 1-2 drops green food coloring (optional, for an extra pop of green)
  • Ice – for chilling
  • Edible gummy worms – for garnish
  • Fresh lime slices – for garnish
  • Optional: 1 cup vodka for an adult version

Preparation:

Step 1: In a large pitcher, combine the lemon-lime soda and pineapple juice. Stir gently to mix.

Step 2: Add 1-2 drops of green food coloring to the mix. Stir again until the color is evenly distributed. Adjust the amount of food coloring to get your desired shade of green.

Step 3: Add the lime sherbet to the pitcher, stirring lightly to incorporate it into the liquid. The sherbet will start to create a frothy, bubbly effect, adding to the “fizz.”

Step 4: Fill serving glasses with ice, then pour the fizz mixture into each glass.

Step 5: Garnish with gummy worms and fresh lime slices on the rim for a spooky finish.

Optional for Adults: Add 1 cup of vodka to the mixture before pouring into the glasses.

Variation:

  • Citrus Punch Twist: Substitute the lemon-lime soda with orange soda or add a splash of orange juice for a tangy twist.
  • Boozy Version: Try using tequila instead of vodka for a different flavor profile, or even a green apple schnapps for a hint of sourness.
  • Green Monster Mocktail: For a completely kid-friendly option, skip the alcohol and add extra lime sherbet or green apple juice for a stronger green color and more fizz.

Cooking Note:

This drink is best served fresh to enjoy the fizz from the soda and the frothiness of the sherbet. Prepare it just before serving to keep the bubbles and color looking vibrant.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Frankenstein’s Fizz in clear glasses to showcase its vibrant green color. To enhance the Halloween theme, try using themed glasses or add fun straws with spooky decorations. For a haunting presentation, set up dry ice in a container underneath or around the drink bowl to give a smoky effect.

Tips:

  • For Extra Fizz: Add the soda last, right before serving, to keep the bubbles fresh and lively.
  • Make It Sweeter: If you’d like a sweeter version, add a splash of grenadine, which will create a fun color contrast and a sweeter taste.
  • Adjust Color: If the green isn’t vibrant enough, add an extra drop of food coloring, but be cautious as a little goes a long way.
