This bright purple cocktail sparkles with magic, just like a real witch’s potion! It makes a great drink for scary movie nights and Halloween parties.
It seems everyone loves a Halloween themed cocktail – I know I do! Nothing helps set the mood faster than a few spooky drinks at a Halloween movie night or get-together.
This “witches brew” has been a favorite of mine for several years now. Despite its creepy look, this cocktail is actually quite light and sweet.
It can be served several different ways. I like serving mine in scientific flasks to really sell the “potion” vibe. You can also use highball glasses and garnish with monster tentacles or eyeballs. Gummy worms are a great choice too.
I’ll include instructions to make a large batch that you can serve in a punch bowl or cauldron. That way you’ll be free to mingle with the ghouls and goblins at your party instead of being on potion duty.

Ingredients
- Vodka – I recommend using a raspberry vodka, though you can substitute any flavor you’d prefer.
- Fruit Liqueur – I use a peach liqueur because it pairs well with the raspberry vodka. Feel free to choose another fruit flavor.
- Sprite – For simplicity, I used Sprite in this drink. You can substitute club soda and simple syrup if you don’t want to use a soft drink.
- Prism Powder – This is what gives our cocktail it’s sparkling purple appearance. I used this one from Fancy Sprinkles.

Other Things You’ll Need
- Glasses – I like to use scientific flasks or beakers.
- Garnishes – I purchased these plastic eyeballs and tentacle arms to use in my drink. There are plenty of other things you could use – like monster hands and candy eyeballs. Feel free to get creative!
Tips
- Prepare cocktails in scientific flasks ahead of time and place on ice on a serving table at your party. Place a mini fog machine nearby to give a smoky potion effect.
- To make a non-alcoholic version, use white grape juice and Simply peach juice in place of the vodka and peach liqueur. The prism powder will work all the same.
- Club soda and an ounce or so of simple syrup works well in place of the lemon-lime soda.
Big Batch
Witches brew is really easy to make in large batches. I like to do this for parties and serve it in a cauldron with a ladle. Just use the ingredient amounts below.
- 20 ounces raspberry vodka
- 10 ounces peach liqueur
- 40 ounces Sprite
- 2 teaspoons purple prism powder
Make sure to add the Sprite right before serving so everything stays nice and fizzy. Float a few plastic eyeballs or gummy worms in the bowl right before guests arrive for the full effect.
