EQUIPMENT NEEDED

To make Zombie Brains, you will need a few basic kitchen tools:

• A large pitcher
• Glasses or cups for serving
• A stirring spoon
• Ice cube tray (if you want to use regular ice)
• A small piece of dry ice (optional for fog effect)

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make Zombie Brains, you need:

• Raspberry juice
• Pomegranate juice
• Orange juice
• Ginger ale
• Dry ice (optional, for fog effect)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix the Juices: Start by pouring the raspberry juice, pomegranate juice, and orange juice into a large pitcher. Stir them well to combine. The juices will create a beautiful color.
2. Pour into Glasses: Take the juice mixture and pour it into your glasses. Fill them about three-quarters full to leave room for the ginger ale.
3. Top with Ginger Ale: Carefully pour the ginger ale into each glass. This will give your mocktail some fizz.
4. Add Dry Ice: If you want to create a spooky effect, add a small cube of dry ice to each glass. Make sure you handle the dry ice with care, as it is very cold. This step is optional, but it creates a fun fog effect.
5. Serve Immediately: Once you have prepared the drinks, serve them right away so everyone can enjoy the fizzy and spooky look.

HOW TO SERVE Zombie Brains

Serving Zombie Brains is all about presentation. Use clear glasses to show off the bright colors. You can add a plastic spider or a fake eyeball for Halloween-themed fun. Place the glasses on a spooky tray or table and watch your guests smile. You can also add napkins with Halloween designs to keep the theme going.

STORAGE & FREEZING: Zombie Brains

Zombie Brains is best served fresh. If you have leftover juice mixture, you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Make sure to keep it covered to maintain its flavor. However, if you add ginger ale, it’s best to enjoy it right away. The fizz won’t last long. Do not freeze the drink, as it will lose its texture and fizz once thawed.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Pair Zombie Brains with fun snacks for your party. Think of ghost-shaped cookies, popcorn with spooky sprinkles, or even spooky fruit platters. You can also create a Halloween-themed buffet with tasty treats to match your drink. For a complete party experience, play some fun Halloween music to get everyone in the spirit.

VARIATIONS

Feel free to get creative! Here are some ways to mix up your Zombie Brains:

• Add Different Juices: You can use grape juice or apple juice based on your taste. This will change the flavor and color slightly but will still be delicious.
• Make it a Smoothie: Add ice and blend everything together. This turns the drink into a refreshing smoothie.
• Use Different Fizz: Instead of ginger ale, try lemon-lime soda or club soda for a different taste.
• Fruit Garnishes: Consider adding fresh fruit like raspberries, oranges, or pomegranate seeds on top for extra flavor and decoration.
