The Magic Behind the Flavor
Fresh Lime Juice
Tart, zesty lime juice gives Witch’s Brew its bright citrus flavor. It balances the sweetness and makes this drink refreshing from the first sip to the last.
Lakanto Simple Syrup
A splash of Lakanto Simple Syrup adds sweetness to complement the fresh lime. It helps bring the flavors together without overpowering the citrus.
A Little Fizz
Top your brew with soda water for a crisp, refreshing finish or use sugar-free lemon-lime soda for a sweeter citrus twist. Either option adds bubbles that make this spooky drink even more fun to sip.
The Finishing Touches
Green food coloring gives Witch’s Brew its signature potion-like look, while a sprinkle of edible glitter adds a little shimmer. Finish each glass with a lychee and blueberry eyeball garnish for a creepy-cute detail your guests won’t forget.
Make It a Cocktail or Mocktail
The best part about Witch’s Brew? Everyone can have their own version.
For the cocktail, gin adds a botanical note that pairs nicely with the bright lime. For the mocktail, simply leave out the gin and let the lime, Lakanto Simple Syrup, and bubbly soda do the work. Both versions bring the same vivid green color, sparkling finish, and spooky garnish to the table.
Make one version or serve both so everyone has something fun to raise their glass with.
