Description
If you're looking to have a Halloween themed drink at your next Halloween party, try these virgin Spooky Halloween Black Apple Juice Mocktails! They are made with just 2 ingredients, apple juice and activated charcoal, for a non-alcoholic, dye-free, spooky-fun Halloween drink.
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple juice, preferably NOT from concentrate
- 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon food grade activated charcoal from coconut shells (see below for recommended product)
- sanding sugar for glass rims (optional)
- dry ice (optional)
Instructions
If using sanding sugar, pour a shallow layer of the sugar into a dish, wider than the glass rim and about ¼ inch high. Wet the rim of the glass with apple juice or you may also use a lemon/lime wedge. Gently press and roll the rim of the glass in the sugar, covering the entire rim. Allow the rim to dry.
Add the apple juice and activated charcoal in a cocktail shaker or blender and either shake or blend to fully dissolve the charcoal powder and then pour into the glass. Do not pour all the way to the top of the glass if you're planning on adding dry ice or it may bubble over.
Carefully add a small piece of dry ice to the glass and watch it smoke! You need a very small amount of dry ice per drink. The beverage is safe to consume when all the dry ice is gone.
Notes
READ THE FULL BLOG POST FOR MORE INFORMATION AND SAFETY TIPS WHEN HANDLING DRY ICE AND USING ACTIVATED CHARCOAL.
* ACTIVATED CHARCOAL SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH CHARCOAL THAT YOU USE ON YOUR BBQ GRILL!!! I like to use a vegan, food grade activated charcoal made from coconut shells.
** Because activated charcoal is a supplement used for detoxification, be sure to always check with your healthcare provider prior to use!
*** NOTE: PLEASE TAKE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING DRY ICE!! While dry ice mostly sinks to the bottom of your drink and doesn't harm your drink, you should NOT consume solid dry ice! The drink is safe to consume once the dry ice has disappeared.
