This spooky mocktail blends cranberry and pineapple juices with a splash of grenadine for a dramatic color, then finishes with fizzy sparkling water. Garnished with citrus and cherries, it's a non-alcoholic treat that looks like a potion from a witch's cauldron.

½ cup pineapple juice

½ cup sparkling water

1 teaspoon grenadine syrup

Lemon slices and cherries for garnish

Ice, as desired

Directions

Fill a glass with ice, then pour in the cranberry juice and pineapple juice.

Drizzle in the grenadine syrup to create a deep, mysterious red color.

Top off the glass with sparkling water, then garnish with lemon slices and cherries.

Give it a good stir and serve immediately.
